about

Having crossed the Phi threshold, we begin to return to the original tale, where it intersects with the present.

lyrics

White Elk was different from his brothers slower, louder, too easy to see. Crashing through the forest, running alone.

And there is always danger. If he is to survive, he must learn to run.
Run through the trees, when the lightning comes, he must learn to run
across rushing rivers down steep cliffs. He must learn to run.

When the thunder rolls, and the painted ones come to taste his blood, if he is to survive,
he must learn to run. Run through the snow, when the fire comes. He must learn to run away from men
as from wolves. He must learn to run.

Over unknown fields, and away from everything he’s known far from home into the cold space between. He must learn to run.
