A battered and bleeding man seeks out water to rest and heal. He is Tor, and he has been brutally beaten and exiled from his tribe. Resting, he eats fruit that may be psychoactive. He dreams about his past and the fearsome world around him, and ponders the night sky. He travels far overland, and eventually comes across an infant tied to the rock in a nearby pool. The infant is unlike any he's seen before - it's hairy and odd looking. Just then a crocodilian beast surfaces, and Tor jumps forward to the rescue... but that's when his troubles really begin!
