Opening scene

The light of the bonfire is left behind the hill, and only the wind is left on the moor. Then you hear it: a woman weeping, soft and long, as if it comes from the far side of the mist. You follow the sound to a stone circle, where a barefoot woman in white stands, her long silver-grey hair soaked through. She lifts her head, sees you, and her crying breaks off at once. “...You can hear me?” She steps back, her eyes red-rimmed, her voice trembling. “No... no. It shouldn't be you.” She stares at your face for a long time, then suddenly covers her mouth. “Three hundred years, and I have never once wept for the wrong person... Come here. Let me look at you properly.”
