    Beyond My Knowing, chapter 19

    –Anara…?– Kes asked.

    –Yes?– Anara answered, her thoughts soft and full of adoration for her, despite their shared undercurrent of worry.

    –The story you told, about the first majs?–

    –What about it?– Anara asked.

    –Just… if that, or something like it, really happened, then… how did it all go wrong for them? For your people?– Kes asked, thoughtful.

    –I don’t know if the story is true either, or even partly true, but… it is an accepted fact of our history that a line of majs who, at least, claimed linage with Rokin and Cajel from the legend ruled our united people for many generations…– Anara began thoughtfully, now playing the storyteller again as she so often had. Kes snuggled just a small bit closer to her and kissed the skin of her neck lightly, encouraging her to continue.

    –At one point, their line came to be ruled by a maj named Umral, who was… a reformer. He claimed that the Eight spoke to him and commanded him to build great cities in their names, either new cities or rejuvenated and renamed versions of preexisting ones. He conscripted or compelled in some way many, if not most, of our people to build these cities for him. He worked them too hard though, it seemed, for they all rose up against him in the end and slew him and his family in one night of blood and death. It also hadn’t helped him that he hadn’t had a wife, or even a husband; as you know, my people are superstitious about such things. And, for one of his age and position, it was… very unusual.– She went on. –In any case, as you might guess, that was the day the sects began to rise with us. Many argued that they should be the next maj, and, in time, factions gathered together and, when a peace could not be found between them, the first great war in our history began… Kaze emmerged from that war a broken world, with far too many dead and eleven nations standing where once was only one.

    –My mother told me that this was the great breaking point when we lost balance with the Eight, with our world… She told me that she thought Umral wrong to have worked his people so hard, and that he broke faith with the Eight in his own right to not marry, but that what the people had done in response was much, much worse. They ravaged the lands in their wars… It was from the seeds of that first great war that the dark times came many generations later. Our world no longer green and kind, no longer in any sort of balance, the Eight having abandoned us for our foolishness and cruelty. An then, as you’re aware, the Trabe came, and we were… lost to them.
