For Sammy, again

Previously in Stargazer Volume One

In Volume One we are introduced to Marni, a young girl struggling to cope with the

recent death of her beloved grandmother. Marni has been bequeathed her

grandmother's favourite possession, a mysterious and somewhat unearthly artifact.

With this treasure as a memento of her grandmother, and with the support of her two

best friends, Sophie and Elora, Marni is just beginning to deal with her grief when

suddenly her life takes a fantastical turn. While the three girls are examining the artifact

on a backyard camping trip, the object suddenly transports the friends and their tent to

a faraway place. When they recover from their initial shock, Marni, Sophie, and Elora

discover that the artifact has vanished, leaving them all alone.

Once the the friends gather their courage and explore their surroundings, they find an

alien and strangely empty world. Eventually, they spot a mysterious tower in the

distance and decide to travel to it in the hopes of finding help. However, as they gather

their belongings to start the trip, they are startled by a deafening roar from an unseen

monster in the nearby woods. Terrified, they run for their lives, abandoning all of their

belongings, except for the knapsacks on their backs. They escape the monster but are

afraid to return to the area; they decide to leave the tent behind and press on towards

the tower.

On this first leg of their adventure, the girls make a number of strange discoveries,

including a mysterious robot and a seemingly endless supply of food in an otherwise

empty building. The building's inhabitants are nowhere to be found and, since the

robot seems friendly, the girls decide to sleep there rather than in the dark woods. That

night, Marni has an unsettling night-time encounter with a silent and shadowy child.

Marni is convinced the child is trying to communicate with her; however, the next

morning, uncertain whether the experience was a dream or not, she decides to keep it to

herself.

After leaving the shelter, this time accompanied by the friendly little robot, the girls

stumble across an abandoned Viking-like longboat. While exploring its cargo hold,

Marni discovers a sword and decides to keep it in case the monster comes back. Feeling

safe on the boat, the girls agree that it also seems like a faster way to get to the far-off

tower, so they set sail with the help of the robot. That night, Marni has another night-

time encounter with a dream-like figure; however, this time it's an older woman and

Marni is convinced that this is her grandmother reborn.

As Volume One ended, the longboat was approaching the tower and the three girls were

fervently hoping they would fine help there...and a way home.
