The Guardians

When crossing through a stretch of land in Arizona Territory now known as Monument Valley Pietr Raul O'Leary an illiterate wanderer encounters a strange silent man blocking his route. Instead of backtracking and taking a longer route around the solitary guardian O'Leary decides to press on-a decision that will forever change his life.A dust storm materializes suddenly; when it passes O'Leary discovers he is surrounded by a tribe of mysterious people apparently native to the valley. They tie him up and take him to their village. He is subjected to a series of trials in which he meets a shaman the chief of the tribe changing women ephemeral beings and a persistent raven. Eventually he learns that the people aided by natural monoliths are guardians of a special way of life.O'Leary leaves the valley with a message he must share with the rest of the world but nobody will believe him. A kind anonymous woman records his words but the manuscript soon disappears. Years later the handwritten testament is discovered buried in a desk bringing to light a valuable lesson for anyone willing to believe the story.
