Beneath - An Uru Explorers Journey Through D'ni and its Ages

It has been a while since i saw David. He just seemed to vanish from the face of the earth.
Yet I bump into him in New Mexico of all places was a shock to say the least.
He had a friend with him I had never met before name was Keith an Historian according to Dave.

I don’t know whats going on though, we went for coffee and they left me for a while to discuss something. When they came back David gave me this journal saying “Your going to need this”

What is that supposed to mean? He said he would meet me tomorrow after he and Keith had gone and brought some supplies.

What do they need supplies for?

–

A prank? it must be?

We chatted for hours it seemed.

Apparently Keith is the founder of a group known as The Third Path (sounds like a cult to me) David is a Technician for them. David said he hass been in a ruined city for the last few months working with Keith to restore it. Apparently this city has links to other worlds…Denny I think he called it

It’s got to be a joke he wants me to accompany, work with him in the city.

I shall pack my stuff and do as David says…we shall see.

I cant believe I can’t believe it

It is true another world..

How is this possible?

Keith and Dave arrived this morning to meet me, all geared up with supplies.

It’s then I noticed their watches.

I had seen dave wearing one on his wrist the other day but now they both wore them on the back of their hands. Strange looking thing, I haven’t seen its like before. But that’s not the point, attached to Keith’s belt was this green leather bound book he opened it to the first page and held it out to David saying “best if you go first”.

I can’t say I understood what he meant, a book thats all it seemed to be. Then David turned to me and smiled saying “Don’t be afraid it’ll feel a little weird but its perfectly safe. I’ll be waiting for you on the other side”

He placed his hand on the page and vanished…vanished in to thin air I couldn’t believe it.

Then Keith held out the book to me.

There was an image of an island surrounded by clouds, he told me to touch the image so I did.

It was the weirdest feeling, my hand and body felt all tingly as if a small electrical current was being passed through me. Then I felt a lurching sensation and the page seemed to grow, enveloping me.

I closed my eyes, hoping the sensation would pass quickly, when I opened them again I found myself standing on the island I had just seen in the image.

What was this?

David was standing in front of me casually smiling. I heard a strange sound coming from my left I looked up to see Keith stepping out of this Hut.

“Welcome to Relto” he said grinning.

I took a look around me taking it all in

A single isle surrounded in clouds, it seemed so lonely.

I sat down where I was standing. David came over to see if I was OK.

He explained that I was now on another world, what the D’ni called Ages (not Denny as I thought they had called it). These ages where places that existed in any time any place. infinite possibilities that the D’ni called “The Great Tree of Possibilities”

When the D’ni where at their peak they had thousands of such ages.

But then D’ni fell.

Though David wouldn’t say why he just simply said “All in good time. There is much to learn and we are not the best to teach you”.

We linked to a neighborhood in the D’ni Cavern called Tehren. Keith says it’s an old hood that not many know of so it suits their purpose. I asked David if we were on another planet again but he said no. D’ni is apparently deep underground the New Mexico desert, tunnels from the Cleft lead down here. David said that I shall see The Cleft in the future.

It’s been a while since I last wrote in here.

I can see why David gave me this book if I hadn’t been so busy I would have written things in here.

D’ni is more like home to me now strange that. I have even gotten used to the lack of light.

Keith said he was taking me on a journey. The other TTP members have gone on this journey they all have Relto books. A gift from Yeesha Keith said.

We leave later today Keith said it will show me many things about D’ni and why it fell.

–

We linked to Keith’s Relto. There he gave me a book that had 2 Linking panels in it. Keith told me to take the one on the right so I did.

I arrived in a desert with a volcano in front of me. Keith linked in beside me and told me this was the land in New Mexico owned by Jeff Zandi. Jeff’s Father Elias started the DRF (D’ni Restoration Foundation) a friend of his John Loftin discovered D’ni.

Elias died of heart attack and left the land around the cleft to his son Jeff and the DRF to Dr. Watson..who then formed the DRC (D’ni Restoration council).
