Most of those there shied away from use of those things when Hillariah went with seven others to show where they were found.
Jecharon was there with her, and he said, "Those things are alive, you see them moving. It is certain that what is left of this old tree that perished did not produce...
Deseradar was rather skeptical still. "Yes there were the huge versions of the crawling creatures we encountered that seemed more intelligent and one having picked up words heard from having found other people, and that superbeaver that knew words to communicate to us, also from encountering...
The giant percher told Hillariah, "This may be the same kind you have known elsewhere. There are others of another kind some among us know of, that are also predatory, far off to the other side of the great forest beyond us, but this kind I told you of is the only kind that are, besides some...
This giant percher that came and spoke with her said, "These few bigwalkers that have been seen come out from the great forest and remaining near the edge of it are seen to gather berries and then sit near there eating them, and gathering more to do the same, and they eventually go back into the...
After a moment, Hillariah asked, "How did you do that? How do you, how are you speaking now?" She them remembered the very huge insects that apparently spoke. "Have you been with other people speaking like us?"
The giant percher explained, "I and others like me have our own way of speaking to...
The large corvid bird perched on the edge of the stump took a small yellow piece with a claw, and put it up to the side of the head. The object disappeared there, seemingly into an ear. Then the giant percher, as she called the bird when speaking to others about that, took another yellow bit and...
Hillariah was still among the early risers in the very early morning, where she and a few others prepared an early meal with the fire from gathered olives and pine seeds. She then was trying to recollect the vision that came to her that previous night.
She finished early as she ate with all the...
Hillariah was told, as a few others nearby heard about this too. Hillariah said, "Let us now join together and we will call on Yahweh, that he will reveal what the nearby creature will mean to us. We will wait then knowing that Yahweh will give us some answer for us to know." They gathered...
There was remaining wood that they yet needed to gather, which Jecharon and those with him did right away, to soon return then to where the others were making camp.
Deseradar announced to them when they came, "I explored what could be seen from the other side of this grove of olive trees. I...
While Jecharon, Finarelem, Tenaspir, Alverten, Argon, and Icholed went gathering large segments of wood, some being limbs they cut from trees, as others stayed for preparing temporary shelter for all there, they who gathered wood saw what they did not understand at first, a creature not...
They found this place to be better than expected at first look. There were useful herbs, and some edible tubers, growing in areas nearby. They had lots of seeds they had brought, and this was the place where they should start planting again.
Temporary shelters still had to be made right away...
Deseradar said in agreement, "That there are none around here to be seen is important. We know large groups of people can be aggressive and hostile to us."
Deseradar and Fisepel with their children Ingahuel and Frieheron, Jecharon and Hillariah with their children Tenamod and Oriden, Finarelem...
Others also expressed hope, to some extent. There were small creatures seen, the beavers were the only big creatures yet noticed, and seeds and small fruits had been their food for several days, along with water that they heated for their use, as they had gone along the fast flowing creek they...
All were still tired and they were then asleep for much of the night, though frequently one was awake, and then another, and another, through that night though they fell asleep again soon after. The sun was already coming up when the early risers woke up first.
After eating more that they had...
As the group rested, eating from the small reserve they carried for that, and most falling asleep soon afterward, Deseradar asked Finarelem and Solima to show their feet to him and others still awake then. The two were not shy about it and each held their feet up. The sores from the sandals they...
All felt fatigued enough that they fell asleep very quickly after stopping at that tree, and none awoke until a little before the sun was going down. No animals other than the small pollinators had been seen around this country yet. Those waking up first awoke the others, and then wood for...
Like any creek this one meandered not going in any consistently straight direction. They had come pretty near to the edge of that broad forest of mostly pine, and this fast flowing creek went basically west and not turning back, it drew just a little near the forest as the wandering group...
The cycle of sleep was uneven still, then, and for several days afterward, so there was need of sleep during the daytime and still sleep at night too. When the next morning had come, and they continued on from that one tree where they had rested at with their blankets, and came to one more fast...
The air of the region was dry and at midday it was very warm, so that the small structures for a few to sleep in any one of those, which was just enough for their need. The cycle of sleep was off, so though they needed more sleep most did not really fall asleep until it was later. It was well...
The first to wake again after all slept long through that day, Rigoted and Tenaspir, saw the sun was low to the west. They woke others and ate from berries and what remained of the nuts and things they carried. Soon all the others were awake, and they went out along the creek together to gather...
