.The Dreams of Times not Past.

In my deams I'm searching again, for that I've never lost. It's strange. everything so familar, but I've never seen it, I'm sure. its nice. no ones yelling, and I'm sure if I just turn around, I'll see my friends behind me. the ones I left behind. 

The ones I left behind in the cages when I flew. 

before they clipped my wings again.

oh Wôde mā.

Dumb Homio Sapiens.

Must tell them, but they never listen. Always looking for the words behind my meaning, never seeing what I'm saying. what's so hard about "there's chicks still in the hawks nest, but the sparrows won't fly away from them. one of their own, so they'll feed them, then flee to the mountains." ?

Stupid men, with their need for order and weddings. least the Cap'n knows something's wrong, but course he seems to think its just bout us and poor Serenity. Guess thats the best I can get rights about now. Will just have to change course next time I fly.

For a genius, I am awfully predictable.

She's Not With You Anymore.

I live. 

I walk. Next to you, not with you, because it all matters now. Every little thing. 

I can see you. You are healthy. You sleep, and love, and eat, and walk. You walk straight into the trap. You are not Chosen.

I see Him. see his Choices He has no hope, he is of death. But he tries. And he fails. Less, than some, but still he tries. It's all he has. All he is.

Others try to change him.

They will fail.

_________________________

They're trying to change me.

Cap'n finally put me in charge of flying again tonight, while he and Zoë get some shut eye. Soon as his mind left the light, I got to turn us in the right direction. Now, while everyone but me and Serenity slumber, we're off, to save the golden harp, from some very mean giants.

I suppose I better lock the cockpit. Cap'n Daddy always does get so upset about changes of course. Now way to explain why, though. Just have to show them.

At least with Simon and Kaylee getting snug

Nice to see you back, myownknight. I can just see the confusion aboard Serenity as Mal and the crew discover that River's pulled a course change on them. "we're off, to save the golden harp, from some very mean giants"--I'd like to know more about this.

Glad you like it! I'm enjoying the chance to use more imagery. this plot line will be the majority of the material in Part 9, from the deciphering of River's riddles, to the adventure that follows.

Uh oh, picking up more Academy kids makes them a bigger target.

Also, River, dear, that money from those silly unimportant jobs that could be put off for this is what buys food for you to eat. And for your guests, too.

River says to tell you that money is mearly a physical representation of a government sactioned form of trade. And that if it gets really bad they can eat Jayne.
