the problem is that i don't know anything. The crew of Forgiven
|
||||||
|
recovered my pod few weeks ago and it was not in very good shape.
|
||||||
|
I am better now, but i still don't know anything.
|
||||||
|
So i just stay in my quarters - i want to intrude on the others
|
||||||
|
as little as possible - but i can't stand the empty of my mind so
|
||||||
|
i started poking in the computer and found this! - i don't think
|
||||||
|
anyone else knows of this - and i thought i can ask if somebody
|
||||||
|
knows me, was I on a ship? were there others? what happened?
|
||||||
|
But how do i ask when i don't know anything that could be used to
|
||||||
|
identify anything?
|
||||||
|
So instead i wrote this, my frustration, i guess it helped me to
|
||||||
|
settle my thoughts a little. I still hope someone might recognize
|
||||||
|
me or i might recognize something familiar in various messages i
|
||||||
|
read here. Anyway i am glad i can expose myself to something else
|
||||||
|
finally (could it be i am a person who needs some excitement in
|
||||||
|
their life? I was found in space and in a dangerous situation, it
|
||||||
|
would make sense).
|
||||||
|
I better wait and investigate more before telling the others about
|
||||||
|
this.

Entry 5 -- Sister Sara
|
Entry 5 -- Sister Sara
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To all of my sisters,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Shedim are not afraid of us.
|
||||||
|
There is no power short of Adonai which can hold them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Utukku are safe behind the veil.
|
||||||
|
Their Kings celebrate our suffering in the hidden lands.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Rabisu know they can feed upon us and live forever.
|
||||||
|
Our struggles are nothing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Jinn know their power and revel in it.
|
||||||
|
But what is that sound echoing from afar, from the corners of our
|
||||||
|
dusty rocks? The littlest sound, it is. Like a tinkle of a bell.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
My name was given for the laughter which never ceases. Can you
|
||||||
|
hear it? It is the music that flows across our ship and stirs the
|
||||||
|
hearts of my sisters.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You cannot see the Jinn unless they wish it. The hidden folk may
|
||||||
|
seem like men or they may seem like the animals of their true
|
||||||
|
face. The dog snout and yellow teeth are no more fearsome than any
|
||||||
|
other mask they show.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When we were young and lived in mud and grass, their cathedrals
|
||||||
|
were the stones of the mountain. When our cities rewrote the land,
|
||||||
|
theirs floated across the sky. When we put our first step onto
|
||||||
|
another world, they were guiding the stars. How could a face
|
||||||
|
convey more fear in our hearts?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Shedim are made of smoke and fire and their world is the same.
|
||||||
|
They see us as we see the beasts, for surely to them we must seem
|
||||||
|
God's lesser creation. We splash about in our mud like swine. For
|
||||||
|
millennia we fought our primitive fights. Even now we barely live.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We amuse them, anger them, and sustain their endless days with our
|
||||||
|
blood. We are nothing, and yet...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The laughter flows from deep in my chest and it shakes my whole
|
||||||
|
body. Some nights my eyes water and I cannot see, but the tears
|
||||||
|
are not of sadness.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Millennia! And only now, our small group will do what generations
|
||||||
|
never imagined. They are the hidden folk, the Jinn, the Shedim,
|
||||||
|
the Utukku. They are the vampyr and the demons. They have haunted
|
||||||
|
our stories since fire drew us together. They torment us from the
|
||||||
|
invisible places where we cannot see.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And that is what's so funny. They gave us the idea, you see. And
|
||||||
|
now they are the ones that do not see. When we come--when Hawwa
|
||||||
|
speaks the word--I will not stop my laughter until each of them
|
||||||
|
understands. I will see recognition in those canine eyes. Then,
|
||||||
|
and only then, will the joke finally end.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Oh my sisters, I could tell you my story like the others have
|
||||||
|
done. I could tell you of my journeys and of my husband, now six
|
||||||
|
years in the dirt. I could tell you of children who followed.
|
||||||
|
I could give you the stories of pain and suffering and let you
|
||||||
|
share the anguish and outrage that plagued my soul, but no.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Share my laughter instead. It is not bitter. It hides no malice.
|
||||||
|
It is pure chaos in the way that bridges pain and joy as only
|
||||||
|
laughter can. Hawwa will speak the word soon, and... you'll see!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hah! You'll all see!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Watch their faces, sisters, when it happens. My spirit will be
|
||||||
|
there with each of you in the smiles that will bless your lips. My
|
||||||
|
heart will fill your throats and you too will be Sara, then.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Come, laugh with me at the hidden folk and their scary palaces of
|
||||||
|
stars. Laugh at the dogs in their costumes. Hah!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There was a legend from long ago, a set of stories that has become
|
||||||
|
almost myth. They were whispered by children to one another in
|
||||||
|
play. Each child in her own language, so well known they were. The
|
||||||
|
phrases were memorized and repeated as we do with scripture today.
|
||||||
|
Such eloquence and simplicity! You have, maybe, heard the way they
|
||||||
|
all start for yourself? Even thousands of years later,
|
||||||
|
incomprehensibly far from the land of our origin, in languages
|
||||||
|
evolved through ages, unchanged--
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Knock, knock...

Their path is guided by Allah and they will be judged on their

To celebrate the rise of the fifth era, this new ship, the Quartz has been built
|
||||||
|
and gifted to me. I think it is rather interesting that I'd be given so analog a
|
||||||
|
way to travel considering my abilities, but I realize the council doubts me in
|
||||||
|
my current state. Either way, I got a fifth era ship out of it, so I can't
|
||||||
|
complain. It's a nice getaway from my broom closet back on Earth.
|

Still... My preference would be to be revived.

the problem is that i don't know anything. The crew of Forgiven
|
||||||
|
recovered my pod few weeks ago and it was not in very good shape.
|
||||||
|
I am better now, but i still don't know anything.
|
||||||
|
So i just stay in my quarters - i want to intrude on the others
|
||||||
|
as little as possible - but i can't stand the empty of my mind so
|
||||||
|
i started poking in the computer and found this! - i don't think
|
||||||
|
anyone else knows of this - and i thought i can ask if somebody
|
||||||
|
knows me, was I on a ship? were there others? what happened?
|
||||||
|
But how do i ask when i don't know anything that could be used to
|
||||||
|
identify anything?
|
||||||
|
So instead i wrote this, my frustration, i guess it helped me to
|
||||||
|
settle my thoughts a little. I still hope someone might recognize
|
||||||
|
me or i might recognize something familiar in various messages i
|
||||||
|
read here. Anyway i am glad i can expose myself to something else
|
||||||
|
finally (could it be i am a person who needs some excitement in
|
||||||
|
their life? I was found in space and in a dangerous situation, it
|
||||||
|
would make sense).
|
||||||
|
I better wait and investigate more before telling the others about
|
||||||
|
this.

To celebrate the rise of the fifth era, this new ship, the Quartz has been built
|
||||||
|
and gifted to me. I think it is rather interesting that I'd be given so analog a
|
||||||
|
way to travel considering my abilities, but I realize the council doubts me in
|
||||||
|
my current state. Either way, I got a fifth era ship out of it, so I can't
|
||||||
|
complain. It's a nice getaway from my broom closet back on Earth.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Still... My preference would be to be revived.

Entry 5 -- Sister Sara
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To all of my sisters,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Shedim are not afraid of us.
|
||||||
|
There is no power short of Adonai which can hold them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Utukku are safe behind the veil.
|
||||||
|
Their Kings celebrate our suffering in the hidden lands.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Rabisu know they can feed upon us and live forever.
|
||||||
|
Our struggles are nothing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Jinn know their power and revel in it.
|
||||||
|
But what is that sound echoing from afar, from the corners of our
|
||||||
|
dusty rocks? The littlest sound, it is. Like a tinkle of a bell.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
My name was given for the laughter which never ceases. Can you
|
||||||
|
hear it? It is the music that flows across our ship and stirs the
|
||||||
|
hearts of my sisters.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You cannot see the Jinn unless they wish it. The hidden folk may
|
||||||
|
seem like men or they may seem like the animals of their true
|
||||||
|
face. The dog snout and yellow teeth are no more fearsome than any
|
||||||
|
other mask they show.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When we were young and lived in mud and grass, their cathedrals
|
||||||
|
were the stones of the mountain. When our cities rewrote the land,
|
||||||
|
theirs floated across the sky. When we put our first step onto
|
||||||
|
another world, they were guiding the stars. How could a face
|
||||||
|
convey more fear in our hearts?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Shedim are made of smoke and fire and their world is the same.
|
||||||
|
They see us as we see the beasts, for surely to them we must seem
|
||||||
|
God's lesser creation. We splash about in our mud like swine. For
|
||||||
|
millennia we fought our primitive fights. Even now we barely live.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We amuse them, anger them, and sustain their endless days with our
|
||||||
|
blood. We are nothing, and yet...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The laughter flows from deep in my chest and it shakes my whole
|
||||||
|
body. Some nights my eyes water and I cannot see, but the tears
|
||||||
|
are not of sadness.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Millennia! And only now, our small group will do what generations
|
||||||
|
never imagined. They are the hidden folk, the Jinn, the Shedim,
|
||||||
|
the Utukku. They are the vampyr and the demons. They have haunted
|
||||||
|
our stories since fire drew us together. They torment us from the
|
||||||
|
invisible places where we cannot see.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And that is what's so funny. They gave us the idea, you see. And
|
||||||
|
now they are the ones that do not see. When we come--when Hawwa
|
||||||
|
speaks the word--I will not stop my laughter until each of them
|
||||||
|
understands. I will see recognition in those canine eyes. Then,
|
||||||
|
and only then, will the joke finally end.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Oh my sisters, I could tell you my story like the others have
|
||||||
|
done. I could tell you of my journeys and of my husband, now six
|
||||||
|
years in the dirt. I could tell you of children who followed.
|
||||||
|
I could give you the stories of pain and suffering and let you
|
||||||
|
share the anguish and outrage that plagued my soul, but no.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Share my laughter instead. It is not bitter. It hides no malice.
|
||||||
|
It is pure chaos in the way that bridges pain and joy as only
|
||||||
|
laughter can. Hawwa will speak the word soon, and... you'll see!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hah! You'll all see!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Watch their faces, sisters, when it happens. My spirit will be
|
||||||
|
there with each of you in the smiles that will bless your lips. My
|
||||||
|
heart will fill your throats and you too will be Sara, then.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Come, laugh with me at the hidden folk and their scary palaces of
|
||||||
|
stars. Laugh at the dogs in their costumes. Hah!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There was a legend from long ago, a set of stories that has become
|
||||||
|
almost myth. They were whispered by children to one another in
|
||||||
|
play. Each child in her own language, so well known they were. The
|
||||||
|
phrases were memorized and repeated as we do with scripture today.
|
||||||
|
Such eloquence and simplicity! You have, maybe, heard the way they
|
||||||
|
all start for yourself? Even thousands of years later,
|
||||||
|
incomprehensibly far from the land of our origin, in languages
|
||||||
|
evolved through ages, unchanged--
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Knock, knock...
|
||||||
