Astra's Virtual Photograph Album
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 88754
|
Astra concentrated hard, as she attempted to convey a succession of
images which she hoped would tell her story. She hoped that Viani would
realise that the visions were in order of the events depicted occurring,
and that all of them preceded the visions of the last three days that she
had already conveyed. (She realised that she had rather done things the
wrong way round, but only now had she gained enough confidence in her own
transmitting ability and Viani's ability to receive to attempt something
so ambitious.) To tell the full story would have taken dozens or even
hundreds of pictures, and would most likely have totally confused Viani,
so Astra confined herself to the essential points that she wanted to put
across.
She showed herself, sabre in hand, proceeding through a passage in the Northern Caves. [86170] She then portrayed herself chained naked to a rock wall, as the dragon stood nearby watching her. She next showed herself fleeing through a tunnel, having decided that it was unncessary to deal with just how she had escaped. Next she was in the hidden valley, clothed now and with some companions about her. Following that, she showed herself confronting the dragon in what was clearly the same location. Next she showed the dragon dead but herself, nearby, turned to living stone. (To simplify her story she had taken a few liberties with events.) Finally she showed herself climbing up the side of the valley, with her companions remaining behind and waving her on her way. Following the seven visions, she made a gesture that she hoped would indicate that she was finished. The whole process had taken well over five minutes, each vision taking about thirty seconds to create in her mind's eye and then being projected for about the same length of time. Seeing that Viani appeared rapt, the tribe had guessed that she must be receiving further images, and had not done anything that might distract her. Viani now raised her head, which she had bowed to assist her own concentration. "Goodness!" she said. "I have a splitting headache now, but it was worth it."
