Mannix tells us about his vision. “I touched the tree, and felt my burned armor begin to heal, strengthened with life. I then felt a shadow cloak thrown about my shoulders by an unseen hand. I felt a kinship with the hand, and believe that the person who is reaching out to me is lending me their strength. They are showing me that I am following the right path.
Storr talks about her vision. “I saw the past lives of the women from my tribe. When I touched the tree I saw myself as older and then young and I realized I was my ancestors all at once. We were warriors, and healers, and queens, and shamans, and chieftains. We were once great and now I may be the last of us. I feel I need to learn and remember these skills my ancestors knew. How to fight, how to heal, and how to lead. It was calming.”
Cricket was the tree, had the feeling of a grave at his feet filled with darkness. Could see buildings, it was Tweasek in the snow. Figure off in the fog in the snow. Sure it was Lianna.
Balthazar feels a kinship with the tree, this skin feels like the bark of the tree. Thinks of the turtle. He feels like he knows more of himself.
Krambler touches the tree and feel his feet reach into the ground and fails to see with his eyes. Ages pass. His roots spread. There was a group of boulders. One of the roots touches an ancient boulder.
Edges of the river have water maples that are turning yellow (it’s autumn). Spruce balsam fur is further out. Outside of the river flats it gets rocky quickly. We;re in a valley amongst hills that extend over to Tweasek, which is due east.
We fight bears: large. 5 feet high at the shoulder. Not the typical bears we’ve seen in the mountains. Would be able to move quickly. Of a species we’re not accustomed to.
We fight and win. Silas in conversation with the bear cub figured out that the bear goes by Arthen.
Storr skinned the female bear (not well) and is carrying the pelt in her pack.
