Re: Wooden Ships on the Water
In reply to James (Jimmy) Gerrold MacGuire (msg # 92):
The young woman nodded. "I had a dream about the coming of the Red Island, many years ago, when I was a young girl. The ship was empty of all life, all the crew dead. It drifted through the Year of No Summer. The liquid that was inside was the black blood of Earth. It was important once, maybe never again.
"These dreams and visions... they come to me, some times. I had a vision, like that, of the cave of the War Whale. That there was great sadness, of the old world, and a lingering danger and sickness. It seemed important to go there, to bring our people together there, to pray and purify it. But hopefully it's not actually unsafe. That's what you and your people will be doing there. Making sure it's safe?"
