  The path ahead and behind extends through the village.  The dirt well

packed, trodden repeatedly by large booted feet.  The sides of the pathway

are of crushed snow and ice, pushed away to make room for the path, and in

places shored haphazardly with wooden stakes.  In some areas, crusted spots

of blood are visible, both on, and off the pathway.  Yaenni run quickly by,

some carrying items, some simply passing from place to place in the village.
