Many homins discussed the happenings of the last days. As the little Anisse asked the elders lots of questions concerning what they knew about the Karavan. But nobody had the time to answer the small girl’s questions as they were overwhelmed by all the things that were going on.

In the evening when her grandmother was taking her to bed Anisse asked again. Her grandmother answered.

- “Now my child. I don't have real knowledge. But when someone is as old as I am, one has heard lots of legends, stories and rumours. Though I think that most of it is likely to be exaggerated or simply from the feather of a talented storyteller.”

- “Please tell me though grandmother”, said Anisse with eyes shining out of curiosity. The grandmother arranged Anisse’s blankets, nodded smiling and made herself comfortable on the side of her granddaughter.

- “Child, surely you've heared about Zachini? It is told that he was the first one contacted by Jena, who united the Matis and became their first king. I tell you now what happend as legend states it; in a time when the Matis were split.”

- “The Tryker in this time were loved servants within the households of the Matis. In exchange for food and a place to live, they carried out our more regular and small tasks. They were very unhappy and called us slave keepers behind our backs. Jena saw the misery and came down onto Atys to appear to the most powerful leader of the Matis. This was the noble Zachini. In his wisdom he did as Jena bid and promised all Trykers under his reign that they were allowed to leave whenever and wherever they wanted. It is told that his speech was thrilling. Naturally this caused a lot of fuss in our household, as they were emptied of servants from that day. And through all the mess and excitement this caused it was nearly missed by the people, that Zachini was negotiating with the envoys of Jena, the Karavan. At this time no homin doubted the word of Jena. Even the barbarian-like Fyros didn't dare to doubt the words of Jena.”

- “Zachini sometime later, in the year of Jena 2197, over 200 years ago, spoke the 10 commandments of Jena from the Karavan, At the place where these were handed over a great city was raised: Karavia. Karavia was a wonder of architecture. When you ever come to Pyr, the capital of the Fyros, you can get a small glimpse of how beautiful Karavia was.

- “Zachini was the first of our kings and his contact with Jena helped him to win the trust of the Karavan. They entrusted him with secrets which were passed down the generations of our family. Child, don't look so suprised. Yes, we are far decendants of Zachini.”

The grandmother acknowledged her granddaughter smiling.

- “One of our ancestors was the daughter of Zachini and her son became his heir of the throne, This, that I am saying to you now is given for generations only to the female descendants of our family.”

- “The Karavan are the chosen of Jena. From Jena they got the gift to visit the stars. But the dragon possessed some of them and their homeworld became uninhabitable.

The grandmother paused a while and a gentle smile came onto her lined face when she looked at the peaceful beauty of her deep sleeping granddaughter.
