Make no mistake; the whole situation is very confusing. Anchor is something unlike anything Ratonhnhaké:ton has seen, and his quest to make sense of it has so far not proved fruitful. It's not that seeing someone who appears to be half woman half goat isn't equally as confusing, just that ... everything is, and it's just one more thing to add to the pile.

That said, while he's never seen a structure like this, this woman is even more fantastical. And she seems to know him? In fact, she acts as though he's very familiar, and he's so stunned by the hug that for several seconds, he says nothing at all.

"I ..."

And even when he tries, he still doesn't know what to say. There are so many things he wants to ask. Why does she know his name? Why is she hugging him? Who is she? What is she? Is she behind this?

Is she somehow connected to Those Who Came Before? Are they behind this?
