|The ship's first destination from Hyperion is the Parvati star system. The trip starts the friendship between Aenea and Endymion. He realizes that his young friend is far more precocious than a twelve-year-old should be, and he feels a hint of the mystique that she will have in the future.

Meanwhile, Father de Soya, badly injured by the Shrike, is determined to not let Aenea escape again. He takes possession of an Archangel-class courier ship, which he names the ''Raphael'', that allows him and three of his elite soldiers, (Sergeant Gregorius, Corporal Kee and Lancer Rettig, from the Swiss Guard) to fly to Parvati faster than hyperspace. The price of this speed is a painful death and resurrection of the ship's passengers.

When Aenea and Endymion arrive in Parvati space, de Soya is waiting to stop them. Aenea threatens to depressurize the old Consul's ship and die, and since de Soya's orders are to catch her alive, he has to let her go.

De Soya guesses her plan at the last moment and attempts to disable Aenea's ship, but too late to prevent it from farcasting.

SPOILER ALERT!
While this entire Wiki contains spoilers, this particular article contains MAJOR SPOILERS for all books.

During the course of the novels Endymion and The Rise of Endymion, the story's protagonists travel through several worlds. Their journeys are described below.

Endymion

SPOILER ALERT! The section(s) below are MAJOR SPOILERS.

The Chasing: Fleeing the Pax

# World Events
1 Hyperion Endymion and Silenus's plan consists of arriving at the Time Tombs, flying on the Consul's Hawking mat. When the Tomb opens, Aenea appears as predicted. However, The Shrike also emerges and massacres most of the Pax military units - both on Hyperion and in local space. In the confusion, Endymion meets Aenea and takes her to the starship, where Bettik is waiting. The Pax, fighting with the Shrike, cannot stop the ship before it translates to hyperspace.
2 Parvati The ship's first destination from Hyperion is the Parvati star system. The trip starts the friendship between Aenea and Endymion. He realizes that his young friend is far more precocious than a twelve-year-old should be, and he feels a hint of the mystique that she will have in the future.

Meanwhile, Father de Soya, badly injured by the Shrike, is determined to not let Aenea escape again. He takes possession of an Archangel-class courier ship, which he names the Raphael, that allows him and three of his elite soldiers, (Sergeant Gregorius, Corporal Kee and Lancer Rettig, from the Swiss Guard) to fly to Parvati faster than hyperspace. The price of this speed is a painful death and resurrection of the ship's passengers.

When Aenea and Endymion arrive in Parvati space, de Soya is waiting to stop them. Aenea threatens to depressurize the old Consul's ship and die, and since de Soya's orders are to catch her alive, he has to let her go.

3 Renaissance Vector The next destination is Renaissance Vector. De Soya's team, after dying and resurrecting again, is ready to stop her this time even if she tries to depressurize the ship. Aenea convinces him to allow her ship to land, but instead she flies the ship along the old River Tethys through one of the farcaster portals, all of which have been inactive since the Fall of Hyperion. De Soya guesses her plan at the last moment and attempts to disable Aenea's ship, but too late to prevent it from farcasting.

The Rise of Endymion

SPOILER ALERT! The section(s) below are MAJOR SPOILERS.

Four years after the events of Endymion, Aenea is now sixteen and her mentor, the "Old Architect" (a cybrid Frank Lloyd Wright), just died a natural death.

Consequently, Aenea knows that she must return to Pax-dominated space to carry out her role as The One Who Teaches. She sends Raul "ahead" by farcaster along the River Tethys to find the old Consul's Ship they had abandoned in the previous book, and bring it back to a world called T'ien Shan where they will meet again. But due to the time dilatation and time-debt during Raul's interstellar travel with the ship, what would have been a few weeks trip turned into a five years long journey.[1]

Aenea's Architecture Works and Teachings

Four days after having sent Raul to find the Consul's Ship, when the last people of Taliesin West had left Old Earth, Aenea and A. Bettik farcast away to Ixion, the first destination of a long journey. During the next five years, she travels to many different worlds where she performs architecture works and starts teaching circles.[7] When Aenea leaves a world, many of her students farcast also away to other worlds, with the aim of spreading the Aenea's Teachings and her DNA Sacrament.

# World Duration Events
1 Old Earth 4 years Aenea is twelve when she arrives at Old Earth. During four years, she is mentored by the Old Architect who teaches her the architecture arts. At sixteen, the Old Architect dies. The Taliesin West community splits up and farcasts away from Old Earth.
2 Ixion 5 months Aenea, accompanied by A. Bettik, heads up the reconstruction efforts in the old Ixion cities of Canbar, Iliumut, and Maoville. She starts her first series of "discussion circles" that bring listeners in from a dozen of warring tribes.
3 Maui-Covenant 3 months Aenea and A. Bettik steps through to a motile isle still belonging to the Sirist rebels. She studies how to build treehouses from the best treehouse builders in human space. There, she also befriends Theo Bernard, a direct descendant of Theo Lane, who accompanies Aenea during all her following travels.
4 Renaissance Vector 6 months Aenea works on the new Christian cathedral "St. Matthew's" in the city of Da Vinci. She labors with the best stonemasons, glass workers, builders, and craftsmen in this business. She was an apprentice first, but before she leaves this world, she has ended as an assistant to the chief designer working on the nave. On Renaissance Vector, her famous discussion circles gathered thousands of students.
5 Patawpha 3 months Aenea uses her treehouse experience to build mansions in the interwoven branches and trunks growing from the endless swamps there.
6 Amritsar 4 months Aenea works in the desert building tent homes and meeting places for the nomad bands of Sikhs and Sufis who wandered the green sands. She meets and befriends a 20-years old Rachel Weintraub on this world.
7 Groombridge Dyson D 6 months Aenea and her friends (A. Bettik, Theo and Rachel) joined the Great Wall project, the construction of a wall more than five thousand kilometers long that would separate the wilder sections of the savage highlands from the horse-herd savannahs and evolving cyclad forests to the south. The wall was to be more than a wall, it was to become the great linear city of Groombridge Dyson D, thirty meters tall at its lowest, its ramparts resplendent with mosques and minarets, the travelway on top wide enough that three chariots could pass without rubbing wheels. On this world, A. Bettik found two of his crèche siblings: his brother A. Antibbe and his sister A. Darria.
8 ??? 23 months, 1 week, 6 hours During her journey on Groombridge Dyson D, Aenea leaves her friends there for a period of time while she goes on a lonely voyage to a location only revealed at the end of The Rise of Endymion novel.[7] Meanwhile, A. Bettik, Theo and Rachel continue to carry on Aenea's mission, sharing some of her lessons, finding people who wished to partake of communion, letting them know when she would return. Aenea returns to help all her friends to farcast away from Groombridge Dyson D, the day before the Pax could have seized them all.[8]
9 T'ien Shan 12 months Aenea is a part architect, part construction boss on this world. She first supervises the construction of a Taoist temple over near Potala. Afterwards she is hired by the Dalai Lama to finish the work on the Temple Hanging in Air.

Raul & Aenea Reunited

Raul and Aenea are reunited after an exact period of 62 standard months, 1 week and 6 days.[9] Raul is still 32 years old.[10][11] Aenea, who aged to 21[12], has became a grown woman and well along in her role of The One Who Teaches.
