Dai-Ur'Son doubled over and vomitted the mushrooms that he had eaten. Sweat had soaked through all of his clothing which was violently strewn about his home. What would the elders think of the place he had visited and the things he had seen? What would they think of the fact that he had found a place beyond the very heavens into the heart of impossibility and beyond?

Alas, it wasn't a story to be retold. He had another mission and this one would be far darker. If he was to meet with the Son of Manar he would have to walk a treacherous road...but first, first he must find out if he has been missed. It will take some time after this long journey to assuage the elders concerns and again seek time away from them so that he could take that drastic next step.

Quickly he began to gather his things and put them in a pile by the entrance. He took some dirt from the ground and rubbed it on his body to soak up the sweat. He made sure to put on another outfit before leaving his cabin.

Stepping out into the cool night he looked up at the heavens to see the time of night and was perplexed.

It couldn't be...

An elder was walking by and he stopped to ask him the time of night.

The elder looked at him strangely for a moment before answering.

"Why, Young One, it is not even 5 minutes since you have gone into your cabin for the evening rest...are you ill...?"
