Chapter 2: What separates us from the beasts?

Crysandris' team was stranded. The forest was alien to them, but that's not what confused Crysandris as this was the goal of this expedition: to find new land to settle before Auriga changed enough to become uninhabitable.

It's true, Crysandris' home: Auriga is changing: longer winters and new civilizations cropping up. So she and a few settlers went off to find new land in case their home became too hostel for them.

"Myculus, record this, you could very well be writing history!"

Settler's Official records: Day one.

We set off under the cover of storm to the east before emerging from the clouds in an unknown forest. We are now exploring the area before trying to return to the capital.

The area seems to be completely devoid of dust, and there is bazaar coldness in the air. It is a challenge to describe, as it gave us the same drive and invigoration that a cool breeze would give someone, but it wasn't a matter of temperature. Almost like a need we never knew we had suddenly decided to make itself known.

The flora and fauna are very peaceful at the moment, but none of us can shake the feeling of an impending paradigm shift. I am speaking of something other than the threat of eternal winter of course. In fact, I feel like this feeling is pulling me in the opposite direction to that impending doom. To be honest, I don't know which is more disturbing.
