As Giels reorients himself back to life after a disorienting adventure, his friends have a different plan. Everything that tortures him, inspires them.
Possibilities begin to open up and seem endless, but what route will Giels take? Will he reconcile with the council to fulfill his birthright as his tribe’s Lead Storyteller, or will the gods have their way with him, hurtling him back into the great machine?
This episode picks up where we left off from episode 1, delivering lush prose and mythology like Lord of the Rings and Mists of Avalon, strange worlds like Journey to the Center of the Earth and Ringworld, dark themes like Gormenghast, the mysteries of The Sixth Sense, and even a touch of the relationship depth of Jane Austin.
All that with tech that ranges from aluminum spears to that which rivals The City and the Stars and Star Wars.
