An Observatory In the Borderlands

I finally found Whispering Crow a fair distance away, in another part of the valley, I'm uncertain of its exact placement, but it was on the flesh world side of the borderlands. I feel compelled to find it, another "place of power" to go visit, and absorb its high energy.

He wanted me to follow him, but was oddly silent. We entered a cave on the mountainside, which first went down into the mountain, through a long black, almost hidden tunnel, then turned upwards again. I felt as if I was traveling an ancient path, I could see the energy left behind by others, much weaker than the energy of Whispering Crow himself, but strong enough that I could not ignore it.

I will return, if for no other reason than to see what they were doing. It seemed like a sacred procession had taken place there many times before. I got the impression he wanted me to just ignore the other energies, and follow him, though he said nothing at all.

He was moving fast through the narrow passages, as if we needed to act quickly before the thing we were after would be gone. As we continued on our way it became more and more difficult to determine whether we were on the flesh side of the borderlands, or on the astral side. I'm still not quite sure which it was, perhaps it's both.

We finally arrived at our destination, he stopped and directed me to look up. There was a hole in the top of the cave where we stood, a very odd thing to find. It looked like a natural observatory, designed for watching planetary movement, either an amazing feat of nature, or a truly remarkable work of man.


There are several places in the world, where the sun, or a planet falls precisely upon a designated spot once per year, or other cycle of time. Chaco Canyon is one you should check out, it's amazingly cool stuff. I imagine this might be one of those sorts of things.

Whispering Crow began to talk about the purpose of this place, and I imagine would have explained how it related to the Nine Brothers, at least that's what I was hoping for, but at that precise moment I was disturbed, repeatedly and roughly shaken back to the flesh world, by a family member with an urgent matter.

I can't seem to remember what little he did say, though I recall trying to commit it to memory. I guess I'll have to apologize for my sudden departure and ask him to tell me again.
