I think to be honest the lack of actual jeopardy here is making us a bit more reckless than we might be in real life.

“I am ready, Runal. Lead the way.”

Runal taps three times on the back of the buddha, near the spot where its skull and neck join. It makes a clanging sound like cymbals being struck. Awesome! Before you stands a seven foot tall being, with broad shoulders and huge feet. His face is gentle and kind. You are not frightened.

Runal introduces him, “This is Zodak. He is your special guide. Follow him. He will take you where you must go.”
“Can I say goodbye to Carlos?”
“It is not usual. I do not advise it; it might upset him and you. However, if you wish, go and say farewell.”

  • Bid farewell to Carlos
  • Decide against bidding farewell

I am getting a bit of a gay vibe from Carlos and Runal, is anyone else?

#51

I hate saying goodbye to people.

When I was younger, if I had a friend round, when I got bored / tired I’d just go to bed. The friend would ask my parents where I’d gone and they’d have a look round and find me asleep making it their problem now.

I’m not changing just for Carlos.

You walk out of the room. The Yeti, Zodak, accompanies you. Carlos stands outside, as he was when you left him. He is frozen in time. He can’t hear you, nor can you hear him. You have become a part of a different world. You start to realise some of the consequences of your decision to go to Shangri-La.

You say a quiet goodbye to Carlos, even though he cannot hear you, and follow Zodak back into the monastery.

Zodak motions you to follow. He takes one giant step into the air. You look with amazement as he hovers a meter off the ground. Then you step up into the air, and you, too, are suspended above the floor of the monastery. You are levitating.

Whoosh!! The two of you zoom out of the monastery, right through the walls, up into the sky. You travel at unimaginable speeds. You climb at a dizzying pace, until the two of you stand on top of the sharp, icy crest of Mt. Everest. Below you stretch glaciers, mountains, valleys. You see the world from the top.

Zodak points to a narrow slot near the topmost point of Mt. Everest. He says, “That is the route to Shangri-La.” He takes three steps, enters the slot, and disappears from sight.

Next bit coming up shortly
