Description:   The diverse winds of Teapottum swirls together to create what is called the present. Although not obvious to most, even the lightest and gentlest winds of the heavens would ultimately mix with the dark air that rests on the forest floor, fashioning an unpredictable future. Just how long this has been going on, or how long it will continue, no one knew.
