His mother accompanies him. After a little stop at Coriolis they head to Fyre.
The Great Swarming begins.
During the siege of Fyre his mother is slain in front of him by the Kitins.
He succeeds in gathering Varran and some of his old comrades to face the Kitins on a desperate search for a safe place through the secret tunnels beneath Fyre.
He is astonished by the news of how Cerakos II died trying to lead the homins to the Rainbows, and at the same time he is informed about the destruction of his tribe and the ones under his leadership.
With a group of homins he goes to search for survivors, leaving some others behind waiting for them. They go across the Desert sneaking through the Kitins, drinking water from the plants or even drinking the blood of the mektoubs to survive. He prefers to die before leaving his loved ones behind.
On the road they join with other survivor tribes that follow them. Before they reach their destination they meet Aster leading a small group of homins.
2482
Back at the location of the Rainbow they discover that it is destroyed, and the homins awaiting them all dead. It had been months since they left.
They start a journey to the South, with the hope of finding more survivors, and above all, water.
2483
They arrive in the Lakes. Melkiar walks with a sad feeling near the shores. He can´t believe no one came to rescue them. Even though he tries to calm down, telling himself that the Kitins are the ones responsible, he has a deep hate within him against those cowards that left their Emperor to die and run away.
Once organized, they head to the East following The Wall. They are an unlikely group, formed of various families and tribes, Tryker and Fyros, following the only homin who seems to know what must be done. They communicate as best as they can, founding the basis of a future language.
After several months of avoiding the Kitins, they camp near Bero. Melkiar sends more explorers to look for the Rainbow in the old territory of the Matis. Nothing. They bring more families and survivors with their return.
2484
Determined to see one of the Rainbows with his own eyes Melkiar leads the way to the South.
By the time they pass Zoran the number of the group is less. The land is labyrinthine and it is harder to spot the Kitins.
The Matis constantly ask for a preferential treatment, demanding the best kills or more water. Little by little the tension between them grow. The Tryker can´t understand why they have to look for the Rainbows when they can search for a way to go with the homins that left. The Zoraï yell, cry or walk downcast as they see their land disgraced by the horror.
The Rainbow is broken there too.

Marauders Foundation

2485
Full of anger because of the situation, Melkiar gathers a group of warriors and he takes them near to a Kitin nest. After a speech that arouses their hearts, the homins attack in the night. Over the course of five nights, only screaming and grunting can be heard. At the dawn of the eighth day Melkiar emerges from the dust, covered with dirt, black. In his eyes the hate still burns. The Black Varinx. :Even though not all of them survive that attack, the great feat of Melkiar and his homins spreads fast. Zunak, a Zoraï, is one of those survivors. He helped Melkiar inside the nest, saving his life once. They become good friends.
Melkiar gives a speech in front of all the camp. He names them Marauders and he announces that his tribe and family will be known as the Clan of the Varinx.
Melkiar meets Oflovak. Some of the Marauders join Oflovak, but the rest, as does Melkiar, laugh at Oflovak' s offering. Oflovak gives them the map to the New Lands and leaves the camp.
Aster and Melkiar got married, establishing the basis for the Marauder marriage.
2487
Melkiar goes to the Desert trying to find the source of all evil, the Kitins.
2490
Even with the mounts they have gathered over the years helping them to move faster, the journey was just as long.
The Kitin density in the Desert is greater, but thanks to the experience and knowledge gathered by the Clan of the Dawn, they have new weapons and tactics to fight them.
Since the Great Swarming Melkiar has tried to understand what happened, discovering that all started in the region of Coriolis, in the amber mines; they head there.
2491
When the explorers reach Coriolis they find something astonishing; the Karavan doing research activities near a hole in the ground. :The Karavan spot the intruders shortly thereafter.
The Marauders and the Karavans are surprised by the encounter. Even though both are reorganized again after ten years, the Karavan thought no homin survived in that area of death and the Marauders rejected the Karavan long ago because they felt the Karavan had abandoned them.
Full of anger because the Karavan are doing research there instead of helping survivors, Melkiar orders an attack against them knowing that they will die trying. The Karavan distrust those homins and decide to attack.
In the evening of the third day after they sighted each other, Melkiar and the Karavan leader each organize a silent attack that turns to a battle.
There are casualties on both sides but the scale tips in favor of the Karavan. When all seems lost, a member of the Karavan kills another who wants to kill Melkiar. Other members of the Karavan turn against their comrades and along with the homins they kill the rest of the Karavans.
The Karavan that helped Melkiar introduces himself as Rinvar, an officer of a small group of dissident Karavans, kind to the homins, making emphasis that he did not know about the existence of survivors on those lands. He requests a meeting with Melkiar, but not before they conceal the facts of what happened.
In the meeting Rinvar negotiates an exchange with Melkiar; the Marauders will give resources to the dissident Karavans and they will help the Marauders. To seal the agreement, Melkiar and Rinvar perform a growing rite among the Marauders: They compare their strength using spears, seeing who can throw them further.
Melkiar decides to tell about this new alliance to all the Clans and sends the explorers to find the Clan Leaders to gather them there, in the Desert.

Marauders Organized

2492
15 Clans represented by their Leaders meet with Melkiar in the Desert. They create a settlement for the gathering where the companions of the Clan Leaders —all of the Clan in some cases— can camp, and they save the central area for a huge tent, a marquee, so the Leaders can gather.
After a month of meetings Melkiar comes out the marquee and announces the new Marauder organization, the alliance with the Karavan Dissidents, the creation of a scientific research group led by the Clan of the Dawn and the future building of a Citadel there, in the place they were, that will be a lighthouse in those lands of death and desperation, the beginning of a new world.
After a hard birth for Aster, Akilia is born. Due to this event, Melkiar creates the Kitin Games. Any Marauder without a Clan can play them, and the winner has the right to join the Clan of the Great Marauder or create his or her own Clan, in this case, the winner will be provided with all the necessities to create one.

2525
The new Clan Leader of the Clan exiled by Melkiar, comes back to report about the possibility of going to the New Lands, he saw some white poles to the West. Melkiar remembers Oflovak's words and he recovers the old map.
