Chapter 6

When Icaeos came down out of the safety and spiritual community of
her original home in the northern mountains, she had thus far only
experienced a very small niche reality of nature enthusiasts and
spiritual hippies. When she finally made it to the 'real world',
she found herself disgusted, outraged, and disbelieving in the world
she saw other sentient creatures allowing.

Town after town. City after city. She found that, seemingly, everyone
outside of her village had turned on the beauty, bounty, and truth
of the natural world. Instead these so-called 'civiliazed' people
would rather defile this beauty AND suffer mercilessly in their own
designed hell.

After all of her time daydreaming about the greater and grander
world, and all our poor Icaeos found was herself all on her own.
The life of an outcast. For she Absolutely would not find herself
writhing in her own filth like the 'civilized' people. She was hurt.
She was sad. She was alone. And she thought she would always be
alone. For it seemed the entire world had chosen madness.

But she was not alone. No, there were others like herself who knew
something as horribly wrong. Just when Icaeos needed them most, she
heard rumon of "An Awakening". And the mempry of Thar-Eris.

From there, she had found her people. And, in a way, there was a
parallel between Icaeos and The Ancients themselves. For different
reasons, both Icaeos and The Ancients had found themselves slumbering.
Until the truth and horrors could simply no longer be ignored.

Over time, Icaeos began to know and understand more of Thar-Eris.
She began to know the burning anger at what had been allowed to
happen. She learned to understand the confusion and anger of The
Ancients. She, often, would either find herself weeping
uncontrollably or lashing out in anger just at the thought of it all.

However, once again, She was not alone. Again, when she faultered,
just a bit, she found aid. In a true one-of-a-kind Ancient!
Ergush, Lord of Storms, must have felt her anger and spirit, and
He found her.
