The Mark of Heros

Story Journal

Memories of the first gathering (11/20/2005)

Archeology field trip, some 18 students and four faculty
- ancient carvings found in limestone caves, near Albany in upstate New York

Trapped with the cave carvings and the five archeologists
- cave-in back before the river crawl, time with the carvings, then sleep

Dream walk in a mossy meadow
- insubstantial wandering in an alien meadow

1st change; improved vision and "cigarettes"
- from dream to flesh plus strange and personal shifts

Flying aliens, light and dark
- a fairy-like alien flits through, later followed by flying gorilla/bat-like aliens

2nd change; senses of the Tree and its paths, a sense of what is edible, and sobriety
- revelations about the Tree and a nearby village revealed

3rd change; the villagers' basic culture, a sense of the patterns, intuitive success and a mark of affection
- fear of the flying predators, a sense of urgency to reach the village

Hiking to the village
- the electric snailapede and patterns in the leaves

Attack from above, rescue from above
- Predator hiding in a tree, swooping down from behind but felled by a hail of arrows

Vanishing travelers
- Sam, wounded by a thrashing wing-claw, vanishes
- the villagers escort the travelers, moving in a tight formation

Village welcome
- Ladonna vanishes en route, as does Rynne just before the 'horn' is used
- Hanna gets a sense of Welcome from the elderly villager via the horn, does she then vanish too?
