In 1960, the Chantry recruited Tomesha from the Colorado River Reservation in Arizona. Though she took to her studies well, Tomesha seemed withdrawn and homesick. No one knows when she slipped into Quiet, but one day three years later, every member of the lodge imperceptibly began speaking the Mohave language, Yuman. They understood one another perfectly; no one realized the change until they emerged from the Horizon Realm and found outsiders unintelligible. Investigating, they found that Mary Tomesha believed she had returned home. If she had developed greater skill in the Sphere of Matter, she would have transformed the Lodge into a copy of the reservation.

Chantry leader Tom Smithson ("Laughing Eagle") confined Tomesha in a pastoral region of the Horizon Realm. Some years later, Tomesha vanished, and her whereabouts are unknown.
