Can someone post a pic of one of the tryker windmills, the ones above land?
How do we reason out the thoughts of a beast that has no reasoning abilities? Kitins seem to kill, unlike gingos it is NOT from hunger, it is not from defense. There is some sinister other behind them, or at least behind their actions.
Yes my grand father was on that mining mission. He and the other elders had heard the rumors of new materials, plans for technologies that we can ONLY dream of, gold, silver, iron, YES, metal, there were other rumors, but no one believed them. Rumors stated the the VERY creators were still alive and down in the mines. ONE rumor WAS proven by our grandfathers, this planet IS hollow, one giant cavern, or system of them. And before my grandfather died of his wounds he voiced a theory, that if you dug deep enough, and followed the tunnels long enough, you would find that ALL of the tunnels connect to a HUGE underground cavern, with a city inhabited by "the creators".
If ONE of the rumors is true...can the others be THAT far fetched?
And who could be controling the kitins, it is clear that many of the different species of Kitin have different missions. I can understand their initial attack, they had been trapped by the landslide that the Elders moved, they were starving. But after that, I can't understand why they kill for pleasure it would seem, and kill without so much as TOUCHING the dead.
It is almost like they are looking for something, something the elders TOOK. That MUST be it. The Elders TOOK something from them, something that they are created to protect. Some artifact, some technology, some strange material, who knows what they took, but SOMETHING that the Kitins will NOT stop til they get it ALL back.
I am horrified to hear that a Homin is colaborating with the Kitins. The only thing I could think of is the other warning my grandfather wispered to my father. "Do not trust them, they are NOT what they seem. Do not Trust....them...my son *death gasp*".
Who was his warning us not to trust? The Karavan, no that was simple, we never trusted them. If they were truly our friends they would have FULLY shared ALL of their technology, but they are greedy and arrogant. They reserve their off land technologies in order to RULE and enslave us. This any Fyros with ears has tired of hearing before he wears dry pants.
The Kami? I can not believe this one, they have protected us and nurtured us for as long as Fyros history has been song much less written.
What Fyros hasn't heard the tales of Kami feeding our young during the kitin swarms? What Fyros hasn't heard the tales of their fearsome magic turning back the kitins when our ancient citidels came crashing to the ground and even the mightiest warrior and greatest sage magicians were powerless?
Could it be that our Elders uncovered a plot of some sort? Or some TRUTH about who the karavan and kitins truly are?
If so then I postulate that your leader found some small evidence of this truth, he might not fully understand what this truth is. But the "them" that we were warned NOT to trust is surely behind this act of treason.
No matter how much distrust might have been passed on to me, from my parents, from their parents and from their parents. We are at WAR, if we do not come together and act as ONE, we have NO hope of prevailing against the innumerable kitin hoards.
I can easily cast aside my ancestoral prejudism when I fight side by side with old enemies or those we only ever traded with but still held a fearful suspision against. The Actions of homin kind has spoken far louder than our ancestors ever could. We can and MUST rise above our elders baseless fears and superstitions.
I have heard all the silly superstitions that if you touch a zorai your hand will wither, and if you touch a Tryker you will become short, and if you touch a Matis you will become addle brained. We all know this is the stuff of fairy tales. The stuff your Granny tells you to keep you near the fires at night, and keep you from wandering off and getting hurt.
I truly believe we will find the truth when we find the person or beast that put your leader's assassin up to his act of terrorism. But I also think it would be worth our time to ask our Fyros leaders, elders, wise ones what was found during that "failed" mining mission.
My father spoke of seeing an odd shaped thing bound to his fathers packer, carefully covered with a large canvas. My grandfather spoke to his wife about the package, and the next time my father asked he was beaten. This was very odd behavior from her, she had never struck my father before. The beating worked, my father never spoke of it to anyone but myself, my brother and the shaman that was present at his death.
I think it is about time we found that shaman and asked her a few choice questions.
Plus I have to wonder about the rest of the story, the packer was found with strange burn marks on its back exactly where that odd item had been bound. There were also odd deaths in the magic guild for many many years after this, and all the dead were found with no hair, no teeth, the eyes were bloodshot and dry to the point of bleeding, their skin was red as if they had been out in the summer sun at noon without so much as a sunhat. But these magicians had not seen the light of day in weeks. None of the shaman or other healers could figure out what was causing this sickness. And the building at the center of town was declared cursed and taboo.
I think one of the excursions into the prime roots has sturred up something, something from our past, and surely it will reach into our future.
Find this link, find the ones responsible for this horrible treasonous act and you will find far more than you could immagine.
