Hellsborough Exposed — wisewood

All factoids tagged wisewood, newest first.

Of all the creatures in the wisewood, the Lonik is the only one not attempting to kill you — which is less reassuring than it sounds. It is harmless, herbivorous, and hare-sized, and it has a reliable talent for leading the curious observer along unmarked paths until the path no longer exists. Van found a dead specimen between the second and third marker stones and examined it with the mild interest of a man who had found a moderately unusual stone. He didn't mention that the eyes had no whites. I wrote it down.

Path 12 passes through the deep Wisewood interior, which predates both the Registry and the Wardens and has no interest in either. It does not assess visitors — it reads them: constitution, axis exposure, the particular chemistry a person has accumulated since crossing into the district. Standing still is interpreted as residency. Sitting down is processed the same way. The path is the only document the deep Wisewood recognises, and the path recognises you only so long as you keep moving.

Finding it requires the right moment — of the year, or of the day — and the correct position relative to the white obelisk atop Loxley Edge, which may be the fulcrum around which the common rotates. Pip found it twice. Both times the paths unfolded without warning and he was not entirely certain how he got back out.
