Anza Qi Paper Back 6x9

After what seems like an eternity, they come to a clearing.
The acorn and pinecone bombardment stops, and the
lavender leaves raise up forming a shield from the pine
needle bullets.
A silver circle appears around the clearing at the bottom
of the lavender shield. In the center is a single eighty foot
tall Axis Mundi Cottonwood Tree where the squirrels are
waiting.
Posi calls out, "Come here, under the Safe Tree."
The kids run to the cover of the Cottonwood.
Posi points up through a small opening in the trees,
"Look."
The Stellar Bubble Craft swoops down through the opening
and hovers as Nous gets out. The Craft speeds away as
Nous floats above the ground. The cousins gasp in bewilderment.
The dazed Yellow Flower asks, "What ... who?"
"It's Nous," answers Xandr, "I'll tell you later."
Nous commands, "The squirrels must leave."
The white squirrel makes a 'who me' mime, while the
black squirrel morphs into a big Black Squirrel Growling
Monster.
Anza looks at him, "Good grief, not you too."
Nous points a Green Ray and the squirrels disappear.
Nous continues, "You have seen where the problem started
here on Theia. You must go to Earth, find the Sacred
Oglala Crest and transport it back here along with the
horse and the others."
Xandr looks concerned, "Is it too late for the White Calf
Woman ceremony?"
