##£¤*^~-¨¨ ~ ~ ~ ~ BEYOND THE GREAT DAM. ~ ~ ~ ~ ¨¨-~^*¤£##
#£¤*^~-¨¨¨ ~ IT WAS BUILT IN THE LATE SIXTIES. ~ ¨¨¨-~^*¤£#
##£¤*^~-¨¨ ~ ~ ~ THE ELVES CAME TO US THEN. ~ ~ ~ ¨¨-~^*¤£##

#£¤*^~-¨¨¨ BENEATH, AND WE WOULD GO THERE. ~ ~ ~ ~ ¨¨¨-~^*¤£#
##£¤*^~-¨¨ ~ ~ ~ ~ BEFORE THE DAM OPENED AGAIN, ¨¨-~^*¤£##
###£¤*^~-¨ THERE WOULD BE A SIGNAL, BUT THE ELVES ¨-~^*¤£###
##£¤*^~-¨¨ WOULD MAKE US NOT HEAR IT, AND SUDDENLY ¨¨-~^*¤£##
#£¤*^~-¨¨¨ WE WOULD FIND THE WATER RISING, ALREADY ¨¨¨-~^*¤£#
##£¤*^~-¨¨ AT OUR KNEES. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ¨¨-~^*¤£##
