CHAPTER 5: The Furless Ones
On the lands of the vanished Shahar, a new civilization emerged unnoticed. They
were the furless ones who had come from the sea. They had built their homes of
large white stones in the lands of the golden mist. They would call forth
spirits of fire and earth, beings of water and air stood as warriors by their
side. They did not speak to the beasts as the Kerrath would but could bend them
to their will. They were at war with the furless ones who spoke to the dead and
went to speak with the furless ones who spoke to them.
He asked them to lay down their magic for it had harmed the ancient spirits.
Many days passed and Kejaan returned sickly and pale. They would not listen to
his words and the aching of the spirits burned his very heart. Kejaan returned
to the mist and his son Vah stepped forth as the King. |
CHAPTER 6: The Shifting
Vah gathered his strongest, the nobles, the Shir. He sent the weaker ones away
from the Kingdom and back to the wild. Vah called to the shir and proclaimed
this was prophecy, but none understood. Vah called to the spirits in the unknown
tongue. None could move, the time of the shifting was at hand. The spirits
wailed around the city of the Shir. The furless ones that disturbed the dead
gathered at the gates, pursued by the furless ones who commanded fire, earth,
air and water. A great mist enveloped the city of the Shir and Vah cried to the
spirits as loud as his voice permitted.
When the shifting had ended, they found themselves in the darkened lands. The
land and the air had changed and the voices of the spirits could not speak their
tongue. Vah cried out to the Shir
"Hear me and know that I am your kin, my blood is of yours and you are my
people."
He pulled forth the fang of Partha and spoke the truth of Ratha's death. With
the fang he spilled his blood upon the ground so that all could smell that he
was kin. When it was learned that Vah was a true Shir, they took his name as
their own and honored him for finding their land. The prophecy had unfolfed and
they were united as one on the farthest of lands under the leadership of Vah.
Filled with pride that they were indeed the chosen ones, the Shir called out the
name of Vah to the darkness as a challenge to all who would stand in the way of
their destiny. |
