エルドの憂鬱  エルフェゴート国南部『エルドの森』 . 



 魔道師エルルカ  = クロックワーカーは旧友に会うべく久しぶりにこの森を訪れていた . 

 エルドの森には舗装された道など存在しない. 人が進むには入り組んだ獣道を進むしかないのだが、不慣れな者が入り込めばたちまち迷ってしまうだろう . 

 これまでエルルカはこの森に何度も来たことがあつたので、目的の場所まで辿りつくのは難しい事ではなかった. 注意を払う必要があるのは、身に着けているローブが木の枝に引っかかって破けたりしないようにすることぐらいだ . 



 ほどなくして開けた場所に出た. その中央には巨大な木が根差している <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"MSGothic";mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"MSGothic";color:#333333">. <span style="font-size: 10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; color:#333333">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:15pt;"> エルルカがやってきた途端、その巨木の幹がうねるように動きだし、やがて顔のような形へと変化していった <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"MSGothic";mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"MSGothic";color:#333333">. <span style="font-size: 10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; color:#333333">
