I have made preparations as well as I can. Since the lights are in sequence red, green, blue, I am going to go into the Red area first.
The door opened as at the first, and immediately I saw a change. The area was bustling with life. Birds, bees, and butterflies flitted around me in full abundance. I could also hear the sounds of voices....people. I decided to take it very slow, and careful as I circled through the trees and to the crest of the hill.
As I made my way past the pond, something struck me odd. All those cute little frogs were gone. There were other frogs in the pond..bigger ones, identical to our leopard frog, that jumped into the water as I skirted the edge, but the little guys were all gone.
I crested the hill, careful to stay in the trees, and got a glimpse of the cabin. I could make out 6 people. An older man, a younger man two boys and two girls, were in the field behind the house. The field that was just in its beginning workings when I was here before, was now fully cultivated, and it looked as if the people were planting. I made my way through the trees as close to the house as I could or dared to get. I could hear ladies voices coming from the house. Two distinct voices. An older and younger voice, were in converse. I could not make out the language, but they were laughing, and having a good chat about something.
I tried to get closer to the field to see if I could make out the voices of those in the work.
As I made my way through the trees to the right of the house, I tripped on a tree root. My fall sent my backpack flying, and the saw I had acquired in this area fell out....also, the noise, alerted the men in the field, and the younger of the two came running to where I was.
He stood over me, as I lay on the ground...but he looked right through me seemingly, and bent over and picked up the saw. Curiously looking at it as if wondering how it got there. He could not see me....????
I decided to test the thought. I moved and stood up...nothing. I was standing right in front of him and got no reaction. I walked toward the field....nothing. No reaction from anyone. I was invisible.
Now I have had the invisible bug in the Cavern before...but somehow did not think this was the same. I picked up my pack sack, which was also invisible to them, and walked through the field.
It was strange being totally invisible.....except. ..I was leaving footprints....wonder???
I took a handful of dirt and put it on the table that was being used as a workbench.
One of the two boys....Jershi....as it seemed the other boy had called him, saw the dirt, and was puzzled how it got there.
I can interact with the environment, but not the people directly.
This whole situation has me puzzled.
The older man, saw my foot prints......and all at once he called his family to run!!
They ran to the cabin, dropping the saw as they fled.
Then there was total quiet.
My presence has frightened them...time to leave.
I went to the door area, and walked through the trees, and came out in my little room.
I took stock of the situation. I dare not do anything to upset them again, but I must get look at the other two areas.
The Green area was next. The Cedar smell was strong still...but the birds were gone, as in the Red area there was no sign of them, but all kinds of other life was abundant.
I followed the path around the forest, keeping in the trees until I came to the workshop. I could see through the window a man working at the table on a wood carving. It was the same as the animal carving on the backside of the door...the one that is the map. Interesting. There is a relationship between the areas. I did not see anything directly in the Red area that made a connection, but then I did not stay long enough to see much. I took the tools out of my pack sack, and when the man's back was turned I went in the shop and placed them on the table. The sound of them touching the table alerted him. I backed away and the look on his face when he saw the tools was one of fear.
Oh no!! I did it again. He did not react though. He went back to his carving.
I left him be, and made my way to the house. The cobble stone path was beautifully set, and there was well to the left as I made my way to the house.
In the house I could see a lady and two small, redheaded boys. My thoughts were right. The lady sat on a high stool, working on some small wooden toys. It would seem their whole life was about making wooden things. And the environment supplied them with the cedar to do beautiful work.
The boys sat on the floor playing with the toys I had seen in the loft room. As I watched them, the dad came from the workshop with the tools I had left on the table. He said something to the Mom, again in a language I did not understand. She got the same look of fear on her face as the Dad, when I had placed the tools on the table. This time though the fear did not lead to panic as in the Red area.
The Dad, after some discussion with the Mom, took the tools and headed up the cobblestone path. I followed. When he got to where my door was he did something strange. He took the tools and threw them into the treed area that was the door. They disappeared...into nothingness. Then he pointed at me.....as if he could see me.....and then pointed at the door. He wanted me to leave. No doubt about it.
I was not about to argue with him....I went to the door area, and walked through the trees, and the area behind me disappeared. There in the room on the floor were the tools.
I decided to go to the map and see what was happening. Something strange...but I had to see. The red light on the map was out, the area where I left the saw that I had gotten earlier. I had to see what was up. The Green and Blue lights were on...but as before, without all lights on I could only go in door that was not lit. I went back into the Red area. It was at the first....little frogs were back, building was in decay, and no one was around. I went to the area where I had last seen the saw...picked it up and took it back to my little room. I proceeded to the map...all lights were back on.
I went back to the Green area.....and was met with a beautifully carved, sturdy, Cedar fence!! They did not want me back..or their tools. Respectfully I left them alone.
I peeked in at the Red area..it was alive, and I left it that way.
I had to see what the Blue area looked like alive. I made my way through the door and down the steep slope. I could smell farming....dung to be more exact, and as I got close I could see sheep grazing on the hillside that was down the one slope behind the house.
The cottage was beautifully decorated.....and only was home to a couple. The lady was busy at the loom making homespun material. The man was at he fence, looking out at his sheep. As in the other areas, the little monkeys were gone....
Strange....one life replaced the others in all the areas. I took something small from each area...and in return, they have life again. The indication from the man in the Green area is that something happened that took their existence from them...but what..and how was it linked? Questions I may never know the answer to.
I wonder if the other people were aware of the link...the door...the fact that they drifted out of existence, and back into existence at he whim of another?...me...
I so want to test it out, but I dare not interfere in their lives. That they want to exist is clear by the actions of the man in the Green area...he wanted me and the tools gone...he wanted to exist. I can only assume that the reaction of the others would be the same.
So....I will head back to the surface....and leave Angel's Tree in peace...maybe see what else I may find in the journeys. I went back to the control room.
Wait...8 chairs around the S table......and 8 adults in the three areas. Was this a planning room of sorts? Did I open up their lives so they could come back here and plan...something???? What did I do?
