455: Preparing Us
(Eni and Kuu continue to scrape the goop over the marred surface that Uemai presents to them.)
Kuu: I believe that the Ancestors are preparing us for a new trial – perhaps one that will redound to our glory and that of Botaram. Perhaps this new skill will help us to uncover a new path to our goal!
Eni: Be that as it may, Kuu, I do not find this a compelling task, and I am glad that it is completed. May it meet with their approval.
(Uemai's claw arms raise the piece of repaired material up for inspection.)

You know, I've figured out why the comic's delays have stopped being frustrating to me. They're no longer being caused so much by the pressures of real life as they are by the story itself. Aun and Chax aren't the only ones on a strange, challenging quest for Botaram. So are you. And so am I.

I want to respond to this, but you deserve a better reply than I can muster at 4 AM after a horrid day. Please consider this comment to be a placeholder.
In a bleak alien landscape, two creatures raised from birth to be each other's enemies decide to think instead. One seeks Botaram, a place of high ideals and austere beauty; the other seeks to protect Botaram from being defiled by creatures like the first. An uneasy truce is formed amid heartbreak and broken ties, and through the ashes of their world they search for a truth that may no longer exist, abandoning friends, honor, and perhaps their lives… or worse.

Like Chax, I can't eat chimmer. Please consider buying me a cheese sandwich!
