Le premier Atysoël dans les Nouvelles Terres

Je regardais la lune se lever sur la crête, à l'ouest. Elle semblait remplir le ciel tout entier. Si énorme. Si différente de celle d'avant, dans les Anciennes Terres. Là-bas, la lune semblait un petit astre lointain flottant, inaccessible, dans le ciel. Ici ? Eh bien... Tête rejetée en arrière, il me semblait presque que la lune se penchait sur moi. Le bruit de la cascade me parvenant de l'entrée apaisait ma fatigue.

C'était la première fois que nous avions pu nous arrêter longuement. Nous avions voyagé depuis notre départ des Anciennes Terres. Partout où nous étions passés, il nous avait fallu nous battre pour éviter les kitins, notre survie quotidienne constamment problématique. Ceux qui étaient partis me manquaient. Donneur de Vie ! Je me sentais coupable pour tous et chacun des disparus. Je me forçais à chasser ces pensées. J'y réfléchirais plus tard. Peut-être pourrais-je bientôt supporter de regarder en face mes fantômes. Peut-être bientôt, ça ne ferait pas aussi mal, ma famille perdue...

En attendant, je devais penser à m'occuper des autres du clan. Nous étions à nous-mêmes tout ce qui nous restait. Nous étions les seuls. Ce qui restait des homins.

Je pensais à toutes les anciennes traditions. Atysoël serait bientôt là.

Lorsque j'étais enfant, nous préparions des semaines à l'avance les surprises que nous nous ferions les uns aux autres. Doux sentiment que celui de faire quelque chose pour autrui !

Je me retournai vers Windermeer où le clan se reposait. Je me demandais ce que l'avenir nous réservait.

C'est alors que se fit un grand bruit d'éclaboussures près de moi, du côté de la plage plongée dans l'ombre. L'eau éclaboussait par-dessus ma tête. Soudain, je fus cerné d'éclats de voix, de lumières vives, de gens me tapant dans le dos. Amicalement, pensais-je.

Alors que mes yeux s'accoutumaient à la lumière, je compris que j'étais entouré par le groupe de karavaniers dissidents que nous avions repérés la veille. Je ne pus me garder d'une certaine appréhension. Étaient-ils réellement de notre bord ? Décideraient-ils de nous tuer ? Le moment idéal pour une attaque. Juste après le coucher du soleil, à l'orée de notre première nuit de repos. Nous n'étions tout simplement pas préparés.

"Nous avons pensé à votre Atysoël ! Nous avons pensé à vos enfants ! Nous sommes venus vous apporter des cadeaux ! Nous savons qu'il est encore tôt mais, pour Atysoël, nous devrons rester à la maison avec nos propres enfants ! Nous espérons que ça ne vous dérange pas que nous vous apportions des cadeaux !"

"Des cadeaux !?", répétai-je l'air ahuri.

"Oui, venez ! Où sont les autres ? Nous avons des présents pour chacun !"

J'essayai de retenir les larmes qui me brûlaient les yeux. J'y parvins, je pense.

Cette simple gentillesse après tout ce que nous avions traversé était plus que j'espérais. Il y avait en effet des cadeaux et de la nourriture pour tout le monde. J'eus enfin bon espoir d'avoir trouvé un foyer.

Song by Meggy: (Tune: Itsy Bitsy Spider)

The Itsy Bitsy Yubo climed up the Atysmas Tree...
Down came the snow, and the yubo began to freeze...
Out came the sun and it warmed the yubo's fur...
and the Itsy Bitsy Yubo climbed to the top and began to purr.

The First Atysmas -- As told by the Storyteller Lutrykin

It was many many years ago, even as Lutrykins count time.
There was no Atysmas yet...
It happened once that it was wintertime and the weather was very cold that year.
A small tribe of homins of all races gathered around a fire and wondered how they were going to survive.
They had very little fuel, and less food. The hunting was bad due to the cold and the Dust was too hard to dig.
A little Tryker baby began to cry because she was soooo hungry.
One of the Fyros children gave the baby his last bit of dried honey so her cries wouldn't attract the wild beasts.
A Zorai child started singing a silly song about dancing Yubos, and the baby smiled.
A Matis child put a sack on his head and danced around, claiming he had a brand new hat.
The baby laughed out loud and reached for the sack. "Hat!!" she said.
Then the adults all laughed and joined the Zorai child singing silly songs.
They forgot their hunger for the moment and relaxed.
Then they noticed that there was movement outside the camp and everyone was worried.
But it wasn't savage beasts, but a circle of dancing yubos!
Where the yubos danced the Dust was softened and good food came to the surface.
And in one spot a tall tree sprouted, so fast that shells stuck to the branches and glittered in the moonlight.
And after that the homins gathered together once in a while to sing and give gifts and to praise the yubos.
And they would decorate a tree.
Because Atys had rescued them that night, they named the day after Atys.

And that is all I remember.

Rykal: Atysmas

We are all waiting, this new day.
All gathered together, to keep ourselves warm.
We look at the sky strewn with stars.
After having succeeded in driving away evil.

We pushed that back.
A few past months ago.
Now, we have gathered on this day.
To give and receive gifts alternately

We seek to be warmed by the fire.
Here, where warmth becomes the welcome.

For all that, not forgetting,
Our dear friends who could not come to greet us.
But with whom we shared such good times.
I thank them for every instant.

Poem by Cliffarson

Jolly Old Saint Nekothus
Put your claw away
please don't kill a single soul
while I run away

Atysmas is here right now
The burning desert's cold
if you don't chase me too far
I think I may grow old.

AN ODE TO BODOKIN -- by Salazar

His eyes, his crown like amber;
The skin like a piece of the nights, sprinkled with stars;
A growl as deep as the caverns of the big root,
Yet soft and caring,
As if he sings a love song for our splendoured greens,
A lullaby.
We are safe, he sings,
For Jena watches day and night over us,
And while he sings
The bark trembles under his strong feet.

Tale by Mousse

I'm feeling good tonight near this fire. It makes me want to share the beginnings of Mousse on Atys.
I was a young Tryker warrior in the Lakes, I've always been attracted by Fairhaven.
I had as companion a young beautiful Tryker homine.
Her father, a public figure of Fairhaven, viewed me with suspicion !
He wanted to provoke me into a duel, but I refused. He rushed at me and instinctively my sword ran through him.
The public figures of Fairhaven put their heads together and decided to exile me from the Lakes : I was driven out of the Lakes
I found myself naked, only wearing, as a good warrior should, my sword.
I went wandering from one bar to another.
I finally reached the Fyros country.
In the buff, my morale at the lowest, I had there an encounter that would make me change my faith, a guild who accepted me without any question : LA FUREUR D'ATYS (The Fury of Atys).
That's how I became Kami, and proud of my first guild, a very long time ago.
I have become a warrior among the strongests thanks to my master Anibios, who I thank tonight. Thanks for listening to me...

Song by Krill:

(Tune: Jolly Old Saint Nicholas)

It is the beer of Atysmas,
Which have all homins singing,
From Fairhaven to Avendale,
From crepuscule untill morning.
And when a barrel is empty,
This song can be heard in the night…

My Santa Ba’Naer,
We really need more beer.
You know, we are real Trykers,
Not yubos, we don’t drink water.

True, it is tasting good,
And it is drunk quite well,
The beer you serve for Atysmas,
You could say it’s exceptional.

But you’re pushing it a bit too much,
It is not worth such a price!
Ok, we’ll have a last round of it,
But you’ll have to stand the next one.

My Santa Ba’Naer,
We really need more beer.
You know, we are real Trykers,
Not yubos, we don’t drink water.
