Again I have achieved a moment of clarity while meditating and reaching toward detatchment [sic]. In that instant I saw the firebird streak across the sky setting down to the west of this town. Where the sun would fall below the mountains.
 
It was a sight unlike any that I have seen in my days. I shall begin my journey to the place that I saw in my vision when I have finished penning this vision for those who follow me still.
