~ In a bundle of bazaars in Hiyashi~
" 324 M.D.....nothing....763 M.D.....the first records appear.....curse Niora! I can't find one bit of anything in this mess!"
Yuna pushed the old manuscripts away and flopped down into a pile of scrolls sending loose feathers and papers flying.
"I just don't understand....surely amongst all the historical records, there HAS to be some evidence....I mean....surely....we are not alone...not after finding THIS."
"THIS". "THIS" had become Yuna's most prized possession...simply because she did not know what it was. It was puzzling; this red cloth bound book with the characters she could not understand. 37 different mythical languages and she couldn't solve this unknown system of characters. But the pictures inside; she understood the large caterpillar, the giant queen, the rabbit, and the large smiling cat...but the OTHER ONE! It was not a pixie, nor did it appear elven. The small delicate picture with long wavy hair and a large dress....THAT confused her. A picture of a creature she could not identify.
She gazed through the lost copy of 'Alice in Wonderland' for a while longer, still fuming, when a loud knock rang across the small shop. She quickly slipped the manuscript in a secret floor compartment and went to the small door.
"I'm sorry, but it's closed today."
"Why?"
The voice was deep and harsh with a melodic quality.
" I am observing the Spirit's Day of Rememberance", she said now in Elvish, "please come back tomorrow."
"I am afraid it cannot wait until tomorrow."
"Who are you? What do you want?"
"My name is Zavin of Ismell. Second class of the Red Swan Order."
"The Red Swan? Are you sure?"
"Positive ma'am."
Slowly Yuna opened the door to see the large elf before her. A strong cut face with no smile in his eyes; almost frightening. He stepped inside and moved for her to close and relock the door.
"Now....what do you want here?"
"I understand you are a historian for our peoples."
"Yeah...says so on the sign out front."
"I will ignore your sarcasm, Yuna of Kuurah."
"How do you know my origin?"
"That's not important. But you are very skilled with several tongues and ancient knowledge, correct?"
"I suppose so..."
"Then your assistance is needed."
"No. I'm not part of your clan! Leave me be!"
"Don't make me force you, Spirit."
"HALF-spirit! Those tricks don't work on me."
"Whether they do or not, your help is demanded."
"Such a charmer...."
"I don't have the time to joke with you. It is very important."
"Why? What is it?"
" A strange tunnel has been recently uncovered on the outskirts of Hiyashi. The officials of the area would like an historian to look into it to see if any artifacts can be uncovered."
"So....what you're saying is that the high tops around here think they might have found something that might help with our unknown origins."
"Well....yes. In simpler words."
"Will I be arrested if I don't?"
"Yes."
"Then let's go."
Jeremiah 29:11-"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
"All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players; they have their entrances and their exits and one man in his time plays many parts."-Will Shakespeare
