OOC: Bird - Pio isn't there. She's stuck in the 7th age, trying to figure out how to get back with the crystal time device after taking the catamaran back.
********************************************
Angara spoke two riddles as if they were stories of old, repeated.
Anadûnê zîrân hikallaba...
Five stars there are
Upon a single star
And in their midst
The great root star,
Heaven's pillar of old.
They are there,
The little-folk,
Now sea-changed,
Hidden.
She paused and then began the second one:
Êphalak îdôn Yôzâyan
Giver of Gifts, he came,
Zigûrun;
Land of Gift, brought down
We hid them,
Nimîr, the shining ones.
'So, now you have it', said the dragon, 'where they are, and who put them there. The danger is in the why and when of it - for this age and for all others.'
