Eder Gira & Eder Kemo

I have linked to Eder Gira. Night has fallen and the cold would have been unbearable had I not been wearing my usual woolly jumper.

The steam vents are around to keep me warm and the lava pit is also a good source of heat so I certainly wouldn't freeze here.

After collecting two Journey Cloths and making the bridge with the fishing basket, I have linked to Eder Kemo and remembered it to be a completely different place in comparison. The breeze keeps the Age cool in the gentle, summer wind. The short but frequent rain storms help keep everything alive, not giving the sun time to burn the plants.

It's certainly very beautiful here. I'd almost forgotten. This really is such a fantastic place to bring a small picnic and a book, set myself up in the overhanging fronds or the gazebo-like shelter and just relax.

Anyway, that's for later. Right now, I have to collect some flies to take back to Eder Gira to illuminate the caverns.

I brought the fireflies back to Relto with me. I do so enjoy watching them fly around the island, again and again.

I'd best press on and find them some plants, perhaps a large tree?

Arrival & a Successful Link

I arrived at the cleft and immediately started running around pressing the Journey Cloths.

Zandi was there, as always, and looked to be quite absorbed in his book so I left him to it - I didn't see any need to disturb him. I wonder if he ever worries about the fact that his trailer is playing host to a Journey Cloth?

One of the Cloths had moved. When I descended into the Cleft, it was there on the wall to greet me. Maybe the Bahro had put it there to give returning explorers a quick start? New Explorers maybe were getting it as a preview? A 'demo' of what was to come?

Anyway, it didn't stay there. After I had activated the Holo-Imager and closed the door, the cloth was moved back to its proper place. I still can't figure out which one had been moved.

Upon descending into the tree, the Bahro seemed to be screaming more than they usually do. It was rather disturbing, almost like I wasn't as welcome as I had thought I would be.

I hurriedly picked up the Relto linking book, clipped it to my side and linked there.
