Chronicles of Atys

Removing his boots, Cuiccio puts his achy feet into the soft grass that covers the soil of his home. Burying his toes in the green, thick carpet, he re-thought having had left the Grand Greenhouse on the informational excursion in the interest of homins. If he had not been away, perhaps... He had told those concerned to meet him at 18h Quinteth, Winderly 5, 3rd AC 2548(JY) *.

Through lectures and writing, Bebi Cuirinia and he had reminded them of several such important things of the history of the Matis people: Rotoa, the work of beauty from the biggest Architect in all of lifetime, benefactor of homin banishment to the Prime Roots after the Great Swarm. The importance of this symbol for all Matis... Funeral traditions, or how Bebi Cuirinia, Royal Embalmer, prepared the bodies of the late noblemen, gathering their sap which families would inject into their tree homes so that they live for ever. And finally the tragic destiny of Lenardi Bravichi, deprived of this honor which was deserved due to having supported our King Yrkanis.

Fingering the bark of the wall, he thought of his forefathers who were there. Numerous ones that had been lost during the Great Swarm. His destiny was to delve into botany. He had poured over Lenardi Bravichi's notes. He thought again of the beginning... A smile illuminated the face of the Botanist and Royal Historian suddenly as he thought: of shade and light, ignorance and knowledge, dung and nourishment... the beauty of a flower.

Extract of Memories of the Botanist and historian Royal Cuiccio Perinia, page of Tria, Nivia 9, 2nd AC 2548(JY).
