==on a ship moored at the docks==
says to ALL: ...I climb out over the railing...waving Tristan away...but he grabs me as I almost fall...and sets me on the dock. He glares at me, and says..."Your sea legs aren't what they used to be...let me get you back onto dry land...you can still run, walk, and ride a kaiila...but you can't handle a long sail anymore."

==at the docks==
says to ALL: ...I regain my sense of balance, and look over at Stefan and Katniss...Stefan is just looking at me...he knows this mood...Katniss is trying to hold back the 'giggles'...Tiveri is standing off to the side...holding a basket. Tiveri just points towards the Hills...and says...in her 5 year old voice..."Momma, let's go."

==on the road between the docks and the Great Hall==
says to ALL: ...We walk towards the Great Hall, and then turn onto the path that leads to the Stones. I take Tiveris' hand as we head up the path. Tiveri asks..."Momma, couldn't we get a cart?" I nod as I follow Stefan and Katniss..."Aye, we coulda...but a walk is nice."

==in the hills overlooking the village==
says to ALL: ...We don't speak much, as we walk. Stefan has a spear in his hand, and Katniss has her bow. We are not worried about Torvies...we Tuchuk are allied with them...and we know that if we are attacked by bandits...that the Torvies will come to help us. I smile as we get higher up the path, I spot boulders and large trees that had named when I lived here..."Tal, Ragnarok," I call out as I let my left hand brush a huge boulder."

==at the Rune Stone carved with Norse runes==
This stone is raised
in honor of the brave
and noble Marcus Hrolfson
who perished fighting upon
Thassa waves in the south
says to ALL: ...We arrive at the Stones, and I stand, looking at them. Stefan and Katniss walk to the Stone of Marcus Hrolfson, and say..."Tal, Father, we brought you some nice food and drink." They open their packs, and set down bosk, vulo, and other cooked food. They also set out botas of various drinks.

This Rune Stone is raised
for a great free woman of the Isle,
SaChe Bloodaxe.
She died in battle with
the beasts that young
ones and their
mothers might live.
says to ALL: ...I lead Tiveri to Sa's Stone, and smile, and tell Tiveri..."Ye remember who this was, I tol ye about her...an she did hold ye when ye were a babe." Tiveri smiles, and opens her pack, and sets out 1 and 1/2 cooked vulos...Tiveri had eaten part of one on the walk up the hill. She tells the Stone..."These be good vulos...I ate part a one." I just chuckle...knowing that Sa' was doing the same up in Valhalla. I set a bota of mead at the base of the Stone, and say..."Enjoy this, Sister...some day...when my time comes...I will join ye. My daughter will bring us both food an drink...an ye an I will argue over who gets tha whole vulo."

says to ALL: ...We finish paying our respects...and I hug, and kiss, each stone...and Stefan and Katniss lead Tiveri and me back to the docks. Tristan is waiting, and he helps me into the Drakka, and I take my seat on the trunk, holding Tiveri...and we head out into Thassa.
