Moshe has arrived to settle the Singing Grass. There are woozles, everywhere, tribals who want war, a Land that refuses to heal, and a hand full of straggling villagers, different than any he's ever known. But he's here, because God put him here, with Trekker Longwei and Jordan Singing Grass to lay a foundation of hope and courage to a blood filled land. All you have to do is kill the woozle king, bring life back to the Land, and woo a stone into loving you. Moshe bolsters up his strength and remembers that God has called him to be a Legend of Blood and Glory.
