[Announcement] Xyphacanthus: the Knowledge of the Botanist (act 2, 3rd part)
Chingi Te Wuan was observing the Cube from various angles, admiring the craftsmanship which had given it its harmoniously equal proportions. The light of the lamp struggled to make its way through the amber and, for now, no image and no text was flitting in the solid honey-colored sap. While he was looking for a parchment about the Kitins, the archivist of the Theocracy of the Witherings had found again the amber Cube, forgotten behind a shelf in the archives’ room of Zora. Its title was engraved on one side, and it didn’t foretell any great discovery, nor any mystery finally unveiled: Haven of Purity. Chingi had read and copied copies of this Cube many times when she was a young archivist apprentice. It was before the Second Great Swarm, but it seemed to her that it was only yesterday.
The Zoraï enjoyed for a time the flavor of nostalgia that the Cube gave to her. Maybe this one was one of her own copies. After cycles spent behind furniture without any homin touching it, the small piece of polished amber had deactivated all by itself, and no information other than its title appeared through the translucent amber and the dust accumulated behind the shelves. Dumb on the secrets it was keeping, the block of sap and memory was waiting for a Master well-versed in the art of the amber Cubes found it and reactivated it. Then, only, would homins be able to read it.
With a smile under her mask, Chingi whispered to the amber Cube, as to an old recovered friend:
“Ni'bao ata*”
She placed the tip of her finger on the Cube and called to the magic for the Kamis, closing her eyes, to take the small piece of amber which holds a bit of the memory of her People back to life.
(*) Hello little brother.
[OOC] This short event (15-20 minutes) will end the second act of the "Xyphacanthus" sequence, which aims at finding a botanical answer to close the kitins mounds. It will require for the attendance of one or all the carriers of the 3 amber cubes found in the Tunnel of Woe during the previous event. Each cube can be given on Thursday, 13 February 2014 20:00:00 UTC (1 decade ago), either to the Zoraï Archivist Chingi Te Wuan, or to the Royal Historian Cuiccio Perinia in the Royal Conservatory of Yrkanis.
