The marks

  • ✦The traveler.I was here. Sometimes a signature, sometimes a warning.
  • †Refuge.A chapel, an altar, a room where the wind cannot reach.
  • ○The target.A place where battle was joined. Always weathered.
  • ◬The pass.A mountain crossed, a threshold survived.
  • ⌖Coordinates.A place that can be found, if you are willing to look.
  • ☍Opposition.Something resisted. Something that resisted back.
