1: Guide
"Picture yourself somewhere, where you are at peace."
Picard found himself sitting on a mountain meadow, overlooking a precipitous valley. The high granite peaks behind him seemed to rake the clouds.
"Look around," Chakotay continued. "The first animal you see, that one is your guide."
He searched the forest around him. He hoped a stag, or even an ibex would appear, though he was equally prepared to meet a squirrel or hare.
A high scream pierced the air. Picard looked up just in time, as the great bird stooped past him, alighting on a rock.
An eagle, he thought, awed.
