Storyteller:

With Monday working hard on school work, I reckon I've really had time to work through my emotions regarding the murder I witnessed. I even tried talking to my old parish priest about it. But I'm a grown ass man, and the time has come for action. I've decided to handle this in the most Corax way possible: by blasting the message far and wide. I'm on a mission from Gaia.


How do you warn people about the Wyrm trapping and killing Gaians in Detroit? Hard to do that in the real world. I might could just buy a giant billboard, except what do you write on it? No, this must be done in the Umbra. And the spirits know the best way to do that.

So, the first thing I have to do is fly out into the wide plains of Texas, into the Umbra, to find the coyote spirits. They are very playful spirits, who seem oddly confused about the difference between Raven and Coyote. They seem less interested in making a deal to teach me the gift Word Beyond, as much as they want to mess around with me a while. Are they trying to teach something? Warn something? Is there something to what they are saying about Raven? That's a tough one.


It is a good thing Monday's been so busy, because so much time spent out of town, in the Umbra, anywhere but around Detroit real-side, might have been stressful for her when we're practically engaged at this point. And now that I have the gift prepared, now the real work begins.

Every night for a couple of weeks, flying outside Detroit, going into the umbra, and repeating the same message, over and over. It's a simple message, one I can repeat: An arrow pointing to Detroit, a Wyrm symbol, and the message "traps."

I'm pretty sure I didn't do it perfect every time. But I got it done a lot. And now this message is spread all around Detroit, outside the event horizon surrounding the city in the Umbra. There's not much more I can do to work good folks about what's happening here.


It won't give me peace. Only Gaia, the Lord, whatever I'm supposed to say now, will give me that at the right time. But I had to try.
