Her journey continues along the slowly growing Silk Road to Chin, where she learns useful skills (tai chi, healing, pressure points, etc.). She travels further including Armenia, Jerusalem, Egypt, Greece and the land of the Amazons, and finally to the Britain of Celts and Druids. All along the way learning of different cultures and religions. She learns of higher spiritual secrets and powers, through dance and worship.
