You're stuck being Aradia for at least one more section, maybe two. (It depends on which direction you pick and how the writing goes.) After that, other options open up. *grin*

Also, FYI, I have decided that the inhabitants of this nameless town were killed largely by a pyroclastic surge one day after the initial eruption of the volcano. (In other words, they baked. Very rapidly.) The town was then buried over the next several days. The reason Aradia is not finding any carbonized organic material is that minor earthquakes over the subsequent millennia broke the seal over the town and let some air in, which apparently disintegrates that type of remains very fast. The reason she can move around inside the hives is that Alternian construction of that era was A) very solid and B) designed to be completely light-proof during the day, and since the pyroclastic surge happened around noon, all the doors and windows were shut so hardly any ash got in.
