The forgotten mountain
Another young girl had been brought to Virida by her mother. Nacou was eight year spans old. Her power had just been discovered and her mother, Taxia, had wasted no time in presenting her to the other vensons. Aomo was witness to Nacou being presented. It was a matter of honor for some to bring forth a venson as not all could manage it. The potential to be venson remained in their blood line as long as a daughter was produced in the second generation and she was one of the first five offspring. In the speaking chamber Nacou stood trembling before The Five as they discussed the ever burning question when another venson was brought to Virida.
“Could she be the one?” Andine asked peering closely into Nacou’s face.
“She does have power but not to the magnitude Adam is supposed to possess.” Farrar said. This was not Adam and she desired to waste no more time on the interview.
“There is no set out method to identify venson Adam. She could be here already, she could have come and is now passed on venson Farrar. We trouble ourselves needlessly. Almost to the point of obsession.” Cilian accused, looking at everyone but not taking note of anyone in particular.
“You call it obsession Venson Cilian I call it diligence. For everyone’s sake.” Deti said knowing to who the charge of obsession was directed.
“Come now Venson Deti. We put our faith in some old piece of parchment. Which we do not ev…”
“Venson Fantah I understand your reservations but the parchment has been around for many year spans. Have all those who have taken care of it and heeded its warning before us been mistaken, insane maybe?” Deti asked artfully.
“Yes and the “prophecy” has never been fulfilled. Are you not tired of waiting and searching?” Cilian said.
“Tire? Tire! How can I or any one of us tire of protecting us? She is here. We all felt the rip in time. Venson Adam is powerful and we have to be careful!” Deti shouted.
“We do not know who that was. It could have been anyone. Any being. Venson Adam indeed!”
“Vensons, honestly! You behave like children. Have we not had this discussion what seems like a million time spans? Venson Taxia, Venson Aomo, Venson Nacou forgive us. Venson Nacou welcome. I am sure you are eager to explore and meet other vensons your age. And I am sure that you Venson Taxia are eager to get her instruction underway.” Andine said trying to bring a semblance of peace over The Five.
