Here in this transitory chapter Ransom continues his journey through the harandra to Meldilorn. I would caution against skimming this one even though it might seem like just another 5 pages of Ransom walking. Technically, Ransom is not walking since he hitches a ride on Augray’s shoulders. We pick up more clues about Malacandra’s age and the Seroni students all but confirm Augray’s speculations about the existence of the so-called Oyarsa of Thulcandra.
Ransom is almost to Meldilorn! Enjoy the episode and leave comments and questions below.
