The hard wooden prie-dieu hurt his knees, but after an hour in prayer Thane no longer noticed. He knelt with his head bowed over his clasped hands, the dark space of his apartment filled with only his imperceptible whispers.

Arashu , me ti̱n kathodí̱gi̱si̱ . Dó̱se mou ti̱ dýnami̱ na xeperásei af̱tá ta peirámata…

It was a lot more difficult to detach himself than he had thought it would be. He had always been the cause of such events before; he had never been a victim or a target. It was something he had not been trained to deal with. Instead he was left alone, stumbling in the dark. He was… rattled, and Thane did not know how to handle the emotion.

… kai kathodi̱gó̱ntas me ti̱n prostasía to̱n thymáto̱n .

There had been so many who had lived there. Thane had been only one of hundreds, and now there were but a few. So many gone, and none who were left had been untouched.

Koaru , dó̱se mou ti̱ sofía gia na kathorísei ton énocho .

Slowly over the last month those responsible had been exposed. Those who hadn't left Kahje had been eliminated. Yet not all had been caught in the net the hanar and drell had cast. Not all had ever been to the world rocked by the crime. What at first was though an internal conflict was instead a larger conspiracy whose existence none had previously suspected.

Amonkira , mou dínoun dýnami̱ gia na ekdiki̱theí ton trav̱matía…

It had taken a lot to detangle the web left behind. Now it was Thane's job to take action, to further unravel the threads until the final culprit was revealed and laid out before him.

... kai na steílei ton énocho na Kalahira ti̱n krísi̱ ..

Tomorrow. Tomorrow he will begin his final search. All was prepared. It would be a long, protracted mission, but with the grace of the gods he would be successful.

Odi̱gós mou kai as psychés dió̱kontai ýpno áneta .

For those who had been forced to the sea before their time, Thane would not fail…

Okay, here's Chapter Two. And within 3 days of me uploading Chapter One (on da)! O.O What is the world coming to? lol

So, yeah, the prayer. Well, Thane is a derivitive of the Greek name Thanatos, and while I would prefer it to be in Hindi, since for some reason the drell seem very Indian to me, I decided to do it in Greek. Phoenetically, so my English-speaking readers can still sound it out. :P

But it's not directly translated from English. It was translated into Danish first, so it goes English - Danish - Greek. Including all the horrible mistakes made in the translation, so it will sound somewhat stupid, but again, for my English-speaking readers, I wanted something that looked a little alien.

And no, I'm not telling you what it means, because I feel it will reveal to much of the future plot. What I have of it that is. I'm NOT the one writing this and I have no plans for where it's going. I'm just making it up as I go along.

Have fun.

Keelah Se'lai.

And as always,
