Journey of Sages
Taelo envisions giving the leaders of his clan, the Sages, an experience of a lifetime. His mentor and close friend cannot walk so Taelo plans around the ocean journey on a raft. He invites all the clan leaders to take the journey.
He and Golden Hawk have a large new large raft built to house everyone on board.
Storms buffet and challenge the journey but the raft is well built and with stands all.
The journey takes them to the land of the Condor where they are greeted and pick up two more Sages.
Feather-in-the-Wind sneaks on board so that she and her daughter can be with her parents.
The raft continues on its journey south and meets the ocean currents going north. At this point the journey turns and takes the combined currents that go west across the Pacific.
The journey seems to be smooth until the black horizon signals a storm and raft get drive backwards by the wind and the waves.
The main mast is broken but the raft holds. After repairs, the journey continues westward.
They reach an island where people are spotted on a beach. At the same time a huge volcano is belching smoke and rumbling.
The beach folks signal the raft to go around the mountain and as they go the volcano erupts and sends a huge wave toward the island.
The raft is safe in the island harbor where they meet the ancestors of the Condor Clan.
The journey continues after the mast for the raft is replaced.
After departure they face an attack from another group people who are repelled and the raft sails on.
Their northward journey take them back to where Taelo and his team built the three rafts they use on their return from their Circumvention journey.
After months sailing around the ocean, they are greeted back at the point of departure and hosted to a celebration.
