Lessa awakens, disoriented. Mardra greets her when she awakens. She falls asleep again. When she awakens again, Mardra and T'ton (sic) are there to greet her. Lessa, still somewhat disoriented, tells them, confusedly, of why she came, and where - or rather when - she came from. Lessa tells them of the degeneration of the Weyr in the last Turns of the Second Long Interval, of Fax's invasion of Ruatha, and at last of the tapestry which gave her the clue to the long jump. That last part settled T'ton and Mardra's remaining doubts, as it had just been commissioned.
