Okay, it's Wednesday, February 27th. In the car on my way home, about to exit East Washington. Just had another... Piffini, if you want to call it that, about another meaning of the flight of horses. The flight of horses is also the path that the scroll essentially takes throughout the world before it eventually comes back to Florence. She or perhaps the society have paired themselves up so that they can tell stories from to differing backgrounds. And they mutually contribute to the scroll. So yeah, the path that takes before it eventually gets to Florence is the flight of horse. So yeah, if I didn't, anyway. So that's that.

Another thing I want to mention is the first story, the story of it's a creation myth essentially. I mean all the stories in the flight of horse are myths and they're, I think suppose, you know, the idea is that there is some sort of moral resolution that is intertwined with two disparate cultures and peoples. So the creation story I really want to kind of focus on, fire a nice is, you know, I guess what I would call it for lack of a better pairing. And I want to set it during the time of a great flood and the time of an ice age. So while one part of the world is experiencing an ice age and another part is experiencing a great flood. And these are, you know, good contrasts I think that will help. I'm considering either someone from India perhaps in the, you know, in a place where they believe maybe the original Garden of Eden was. But I'll think about that. And, or somewhere in Africa where we think maybe the oldest, you know, human was discovered, paired with someone in an icy place. So it's what most likely be someone from Scandinavia, maybe Norway. And the idea is that some event happens that causes the, that causes one to travel to the other. So far what I was thinking and this may not be creation as much as it might be miraculous birth. So I'm going to, you know, start it out like this. Basically a village in the warmer part of the world. And this is what it is. It's what it is. It's what it is. It's what it is. The, you know, the river has simply changed its course and they send a party out to find it. They don't find it and thus require, well, they don't find it. And, you know, many days go by and they are extremely low on their water supply. So they realize that something grave has to be done. So they start thinking about how to handle this. It becomes an emergency situation and they consider that the members of the tribe who are expendable, who will not basically, help to maintain the tribe are chosen as, as people who need to go out and find water and come back. So a woman who, a young woman who's essentially barren is recruited as the one who must go out and find the source, the new source of water or where the river has changed its course. And so as she goes out, she continues on a journey that basically leads her into the world of ice, the people of the north, what have you. And that's where the second half of the story starts essentially where she meets a man who, for the most part, will claim not to have impregnated her and, you know, she thinks that she's barren and does, she'll never have children but she ends up having children with this man and stays with him. So that's, you know, just a rough outline of how that story goes.
