Memories

Intro

As Esher linked out of the Age I stared at the Tablet. There was only one lock left to be released, and all I had to do was reach out to it to free the Tablet from it's binding. I approached the four locked pedestals, three of which had already been unlocked and now stand drooping away from the Tablet. I reached out to the final pedestal and watched it too move away from the Tablet, leaving the Tablet exposed to my grasp. I reached out and touched the Tablet with my hands and just as Esher had said, I was linked back to K'veer; in the same place I had started this journey.

The Tablet now lied in the center of the four pedestals, unlocked. I took it in my hands and walked out of the "linking sphere". Moments later as I was walking out towards the hallway, Yeesha linked into the room. She made no motion, and she did not say anything. When I approached her with the Tablet though she made a slight gesture with her hands suggesting that I give the Tablet to her. I thought for a moment, and remembered that Esher had warned me not to give Yeesha the Tablet. Also, I recalled that Yeesha, at the start of this journey, strictly commanded me not to give the Tablet to her once it was free. I backed away from Yeesha and surprisingly I did not see any change in her facial expression…she still stood there staring off into the distance, as if she did not notice me at all.

Remembering what Esher had told me before I had released the Tablet, I headed up towards the library in K'veer were the Myst linking book had resided before I started this journey. I took once last glance at Yeesha, then turned around and headed into the hallway…
