CHAPTER EIGHT

T he Dome was brightening as Mark returned and entered

his home. How natural it felt to him now to refer to this large pinkish white building as home. The entire time on the surface, he did not know it existed, but now the conch shell emblem of his line welcomed him from over the doorway as if he had never left. The one solid piece of his past had stayed with him all those years on the surface. The spiraling circle with small wave-like lines under it was on the piece of clothing he had been wearing when he was found on the beach. Though the clothing had been discarded before anyone knew where it (or he) had come from, Elizabeth remembered the design and had it put on Mark’s new swimsuit. It became a sign for him that he had a past even if it was temporarily lost to him.

Every piece of the living walls seemed to be telling him how glad they were to have him touch them, to elevate the light, or to place his hand on a seemingly solid wall only to have a seam appear and a door develop.

There were many things he could do in the time he had before Tei-La was to meet him, but he felt drawn to the king’s chamber. He knew the clothing worn by his father when he died would be laid out along with the ring and pendant. So many times his father had told him the story of the ring and piece of metal that hung by the woven gold thread from his neck.

“Since the settlement, this pendant has been worn by all my father’s fathers, Ja-Lil, and someday I will pass it on to you.” With the ring, there was a wonderful story. Sometimes he would fall asleep hearing of Poi-Den, two kings before his father, who went wearing the pendant of his station to the land along the great river. It had been decided at the Great Tallon, which was the gathering of the royal lines of the People of the Air and Water, that someone must try to connect with any remaining royal blood they could find of the Landed Ones.

Poi-Den was chosen. He swam far up the wide river and confronted the remaining People of the Trilogy. But this time the Elders were still trying to preserve the life thoughts of their people even though the royal blood of their line was gone. They performed ornate rituals of removing internal organs of the dead and preserving them. All their efforts had created was an elite class of priests who cloaked the futile rites in ceremony and mysticism.

He arrived at the city of the Stone Mountains and, once he was identified, was welcomed by the remaining Landed Ones.
