I don't have rights to any of this. I'm just playing with Yeesha and some others.
Author's Note:
I have not played the games.
I have only read the books—well, the first three, if
there are any more out, now…
I got my main character from reading the back of the
newest Myst game at Wal-Mart (which I don't have any rights to, either).
You like this story enough to want more, ask and I'll post more. If not… Well, I guess the "Prologue" will get pretty lonely…
I'll gladly take positive or negative reviews. Just
watch your language, and I won't mind what you say. Seriously.
Enjoy! :)
Prologue
She moved swiftly, her dark cloak making her one more silent shadow in this city of the dead."Yeesha!"
Her name rang out, echoing from stone. She ignored it.
"Yeesha, please! Think about what you're doing!"
I am thinking, Father. Clearly.
The voice came from the torches, alien in the dimmed underfoot lighting. "Your mother's dying!"
Mother's been dying since my birth. I've said my good-byes.
"Come home!"
The shadowy figure paused. What is 'home', Father? What can you mean by 'Come home,' but 'Return to your family that you might frustrate us more'?
"Yeesha!" her father cried again, despairingly.
"I doubt she's here, Master Atrus," Eedrah said softly, the stones bringing his voice as a whisper to her ear. "Herin's Books—"
"Yes," Atrus interrupted, pain sharpening his voice. "The accursed Linking Books and Ages Herin stole from another civilization." A haunted tone followed. "All that remain joining us with our dead ancestors."
What defines 'dead'? she wondered as she continued away.
Father's sadness carried in the dark. "I do not want to wait for her return."
"We have no choice. To find the Book she used after this one would take a very large group."
Atrus sighed. "And we cannot let that many know just how many Books have escaped destruction."
Resignedly, the twosome headed back to the Linking Book that would take them home, their fading shuffles and dimming torches alerting Yeesha to this fact.
A wry smile played her lips. Yeesha, daughter of Atrus and Katran, granddaughter of Gehn, great-granddaughter of Aitrus and Ti'ana, moved deeper into the dead city of D'ni.
