Chapter 89 November – 3,390 BC Earth: Village of Assur NINSIANNA Ninsianna followed the river of consciousness past the stars that whispered conspiratorially about how to find her own way around the dreamtime. She was here to find answers; answers to questions she suspected lay just beyond that frustrating black wall. Well tonight she had been clever!

Why else did she need Chosen Ones and eagles for eyes?

She just had to know!
