Aside from having a small meal and checking on wounds, there was nothing to do while resting but to look out over the beautiful vista. Far away to the south-east, an enormous object floated above the jungle. It appeared to be formed of earth, with the broken trunk of an old tree at the top, and roots hanging from beneath - but it floated free in the air.
"The Heart of Ubtao!" exclaimed Kasqa in awe.
Tarri held up some wooden tools and made some calculations and said, "It is about a hundred miles away."
Somewhat further away, this time to the south, another oddity could be seen. It appeared to be a sailing ship, but it rested in the tops of some tall trees, over a hundred miles from the nearest sea.
"By the Gods, how could that have gotten there?" asked Wulf.
Having a few very interesting things to add to her maps, Tarri began to work as soon as she had recovered from her ordeal.
When the time came to leave to find Qawasha, the Sticks realised that at some point during their rest, Kupalue (Weed) had quite disappeared.
