A Officer and A Mektoub


Good morning Atys! After spending the better part of the night meditating I have realised that what happened last night is a part of natures grim dance. Death is a part of life, life is Ma-Duk. I will however never forgive the gingos for their senseless killing of several wombaï. Such heinous acts of destruction, even if it is part of their nature, I hope I will never understand. But now it is time to let the souls of the fallen go and not keep them lingering by locking them up in my sorrow.


Their energy will return to Atys and someday give souls to new life. From this knowledge I will draw the strength to continue my journey towards enlightenment.


Today I woke up with new responsibilities weighing on my shoulders. I have been promoted to the rank of officer in the glorious Kami-Da. Hopefully I will be able to rise to the challenge and fulfil my duty both as a officer, a follower of the kami and as a homin. For the responsibility is great. The caretaking of Atys. The ever present threat of the kitin. Everyday new kitin emerges from the depths of Atys to hunt and to kill. It should be every homins calling to defend our civilisations and the life on Atys from the kitin by containing and limiting their numbers above ground. Not to wage all out war on the kitin thou as they too are part of Atys, even if they are what they are.


A far greater threat is the goo. This Purple.. Substance. It is said to originate from the prime roots and uses the planets network of sap veins to spread. I have only seen the goo by myself a handful times. It is eerily beautiful as it consumes and infects everything in its path without exceptions. And as everything is connected, the goo is slowly devouring Atys.

Scouting the extent of the goo infestation

A frightening discovery I have made is that it seems that the goo has the capability to influence and infect animals and plants, thus taking control over them. The host also becomes stronger, more aggressive then it was before. A word of caution, do not venture to close to the goo. As a follower of the kami I see it as one of my greatest responsibilities to battle this growing menace where ever it appears.


Well then.. I will have to stop here. Atys is calling and I need to see what my friends are doing. Perhaps I will make a journey to the desert. I have only been there briefly and would so like to see the sights and wonders. Perhaps I will find the time to write about it later.
