As I rounded the top of the hill that was directly east of my landing point, I suddenly came face to face with two small people, gnomes by appearance, one of whom I recognized as being Onan, the Lord of the Past. AS I ROUNDED THE TOP OF A HILL THAT WAS DIRECTLY EAST TO MY LANDING POINT I SUDDENLY CAME FACE TO FACE WITH TWO SMALL PEOPLE NOMES BY APPEARANCE ONE OF WHOM I RECOGNIZED AS BEING O NAN THE LORD OF THE PAST
 far as my eye could see, though I cannot say if that condition prevailed inland further, since I had forgotten the telescope, which would probably have proved a useful tool. A slight wind blew from seaward, scattering the dry top soil about like a cloud of gnats, though there were very few actual insects, and no animals that I could see. The only sound that I could hear was that of the wind howling gently past my ears. I had landed in a sort of valley, which, though not at all deep, was surrounded on all sides by slight hills that prevented me from getting an extensive look at the landscape beyond. Before making any decisions as to which direction to set off, I decided to climb to the top of one of these hills to ascertain my exact situation, and although I was generally reluctant to start off into unfamiliar territory, I also wanted to put as many miles between me and the coast as possible, in case the Zards and Canitaurs came after me, which was still a cause of great anxiety to me. LOR OF IT ALL FOR AS FAR AS MY EYE COULD SEE THOUGH I CANNOT SAY IF THAT CONDITION PREVAILED INLAND FURTHER SINCE I HAD FORGOTTEN THE TELESCOPE WHICH WOULD PROBABLY HAVE PROVED A USEFUL TOOL A SLIGHT WIND BLEW FROM SEAWARD SCATTERING THE DRY TOP SOIL ABOUT LIKE A CLOUD OF GNATS THOUGH THERE WERE VERY FEW ACTUAL INSECTS AND NO ANIMALS THAT I COULD SEE THE ONLY SOUND THAT I COULD HEAR WAS THAT OF THE WIND HOWLING GENTLY PAST MY EARS I HAD LANDED IN A SORT OF VALLEY WHICH THOUGH NOT AT ALL DEEP WAS SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES BY SLIGHT HILLS THAT PREVENTED ME FROM GETTING AN EXTENSIVE LOOK AT THE LANDSCAPE BEYOND BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISIONS AS TO WHICH DIRECTION TO SET OFF I DECIDED TO CLIMB TO THE TOP OF ONE OF THESE HILLS TO ASCERTAIN MY EXACT SITUATION AND ALTHOUGH I WAS GENERALLY RELUCTANT TO START OFF INTO UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY I ALSO WANTED TO PUT AS MANY MILES BETWEEN ME AND THE COAST AS POSSIBLE IN CASE THE TSARS AND CANADARS CAME AFTER ME WHICH WAS STILL A CAUSE OF GREAT ANXIETY TO ME
