Chapter 3: Seven Vital Tasks
Welcoming them, the High Priest led the group into the heart of the Woodlands. They walked for an entire day and an entire night.
He told the seven about their shared heritage. The prophet that conquered and shaped the world 8000 years ago. As the story goes, the prophet's mother fled into the woods, running from her slavers. She died while giving birth in the center where the eight forests meet. She pleaded with the forest gods to care for her daughter in exchange for her soul, life, and freedom. And so the girl was raised by the Manks, Sprun, and Ulvar. The Sprun taught her logic, the Mank pack taught her to survive, and the Ulvar taught her to hunt.
On her twentieth birthday, the prophet returned to the place of her birth. She sat at her mother's resting place for a fortnight. Meditating, becoming one with her surroundings, she entered a state of belonging. She knew the motion of the grass, the flow of wind, blood pumping through fluttering birds' hearts. And knowing these things, really knowing them, gave her insight into everything that has been and what is to come. She saw depletion and the end of humanity. And so she changed it. She lived her life, forcing a future she willed into existence. She had eight children and taught them how to continue her vision. She conquered the world and created the country now known as the Greater Woodlands. A thousand years after her passing, the Teak family rebelled. The elder Teak was desperate to prolong his life and was frustrated at the pace of innovation. And so they broke the first law and took more than they gave back. These choices started the "Branch War." Inevitably, the Teaks lost, so they were exiled to the earth-like moon.
The High Priest stopped, looked at each of the seven family members, and said, "the Teaks have returned. After seven thousand years of building and planning, they return to reclaim the planet they were made to leave. From what our scouts have reported, they have technology superior to ours. Weapons, vehicles, and even biotech. Their fleet has arrived and has already started an assault on the capital. We're outmatched, but not outnumbered. And we have the prophets plan to guide us."
He gave each of them a task to complete and a gift to help them on their way. If they fail, humanity's future might be bleak.
