Stone is amazed to see how busy the new path is. It was only just made moments ago, yet it is flooded with travelers from the wizard's oracle to his own. It seems as though the wizard has done just what he said he would. Pleased with his arrangement Stone heads off to bed. Having labored for many hours without rest, Stone falls into a deep sleep.
Stone snores on for hours.
The hours become a day, and soon the day becomes a week. The travelers that had once followed his path from the Gemini Oracle, are no longer arriving in the vast numbers that they once had. Shocked by this situation, Stone follows the still busy path which leads from his oracles gate towards the Gemini Oracle to see why the travelers to his oracle have diminished so greatly. Be here next week for part IX to find out what's happening to the travelers.
