1
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: Grievers had no legends. Just what Terrex left us a

2
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,800
penchant for misfortune and a love for the warmth of

3
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,159
strange stars where we lacked. Calidizan's had and glittering droves

4
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:35,560
tales as numerous as the scales upon their bodies, and

5
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,960
covering much of the same ground. Taran myths did the

6
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,799
story springing up from a creation well and trickling down

7
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,200
instances in the legendary life of one particular figure in

8
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,920
the heated dusk of the Andromeda's Haitian washes, where the

9
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,840
planet sported their lava on the outside crust instead of

10
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,119
in a purple comment streaked into the galaxy and cooled

11
00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:00,520
the planet and impacted on This was Clutch and Stirle,

12
00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:03,200
the home of the Collidizans, and this comment was the

13
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:08,480
first scale, the Comment's cooling mists, driving the lava underground

14
00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:11,840
and creating a crater that harvested the subdued heating effects

15
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:16,200
to serve as the first nest for the first collidism,

16
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:19,000
springing from the scale in an instant as the conditions

17
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,319
became just right, wave vicalidism, as the legends went, as

18
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,879
the first collidis in wave was lonesome. The planet was

19
00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:32,040
barren save for grazing creatures who had no interest in

20
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,879
getting to know the new resident, though this didn't stop

21
00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:37,439
Wave from getting to know them, for this was the

22
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,000
only thing there was to do. It was through this

23
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,719
learning about the grazing beasts and the landscape in sky

24
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:47,920
and gooey molten glass shards and the limits of their scales,

25
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,439
that Wave gained the ability to sustain themselves on knowledge.

26
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,319
In this way, Wave Vicalism was sort of like the

27
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:59,599
god of wisdom, not necessarily intelligence, as Wave made many

28
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,000
mistakes in their studies and died many times, resurrected only

29
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,040
by their desire to learn more to apply true wisdom

30
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:13,039
by avoiding the mistakes of the past. After a trillion yushes,

31
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:16,680
the legend said, Wave's voracious studies carried them to the

32
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:22,120
yush they would encounter the second Coalidisin flood Ginkalidisin bathing

33
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:26,680
and burbling superheated lava emerging from the cracking, drying magma,

34
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,560
shinier than any discovery Wave had made to that date,

35
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:34,039
and arousing strange feelings in the otherwise hyper studious calid

36
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,199
At first, Wave tried to impress flood by spouting off

37
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,960
facts about the planet the Jinklate hadn't asked for. Indeed

38
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:45,080
that the Ginkalid already knew as Flood wasn't truly the

39
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,240
second Collidison. Flood, it touched down on the planet in

40
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:51,080
much the same manner as Wave. At the same time

41
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:55,560
when Flood explained, this Wave changed tactics and began to

42
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,560
explain instead the discovery of a new illness that which

43
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,039
Flood and inspired in them. It's important to note here

44
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,360
that Colidizans didn't really have a word for specific love.

45
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:14,439
There is rather Juniplia equally affectionate one. Calidisans typically took

46
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:17,599
two mates of equal standing for life. Keeping that balance

47
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,919
of love between the three was basically a pillar of

48
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:25,800
calidis In culture, Juniplia had another translation, though a more

49
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,560
archaic one, that flood in myth relay it to wave

50
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,840
through sculpture, taking inspiration from their own spherical commet based

51
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,800
arrival and molding eggs of clay, sand stone, and clouds.

52
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,280
These flood would go on to install in the skies

53
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,000
of Clutchensterl, the mythical explanation for the moons and nearby planets.

54
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:50,240
After this act, Flood would go on to become the

55
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:56,360
equivalent of a god of art on one end of

56
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,680
the calid home. A third Calidizan, attracted to the other

57
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:02,639
two by the sudden appearance of the nearest brightest moon,

58
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,840
Scirol made themselves known tide Gin Kalidisan. Tide brought with

59
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:11,680
them something which Flood and Wave had yet to encounter,

60
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,879
a spear fashioned from obsidian a weapon. At first, Flood

61
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:22,560
and Wave were suspicious, but Tide soon introduced them all

62
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,680
to their village of Collidisans on the other end of

63
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,040
the planet. An entire town had formed around a forest

64
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,000
of craters, with eggs within intricate nests of woven metal slats,

65
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,360
and younglings learning what they could from their vigin collidis

66
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:41,279
In hatchers. As for the spears, Tide explained, under the

67
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,839
shadier skies that predated the moon, there have been whisperings

68
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,680
of a shift in the world. Something big was coming,

69
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,279
and in preparation for any danger that would come to

70
00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:54,279
threaten their small but thriving village, Tide at hone, a

71
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,199
spear from volcanic glass had eaten of the glass and

72
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,120
gained the deep sight the rocks and oceans only knew

73
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,680
had asked of their friends to eat it in sea

74
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,040
as well to connect. Flood and Wave were skeptical at

75
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,920
first of the village of the presence of so many

76
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,480
collidizins in one place, but the town soon became home,

77
00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:21,240
and the pride of sustaining the happiness, ecosystem and justice

78
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,560
in the village soon taught the two that art and

79
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:29,639
wisdom were valuable, no vital additions to any community, and

80
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,680
they soon came to feel great and warm Junipolia for

81
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:36,839
the gin collidizin as well. At once, another way to

82
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,399
express this affection became very clear to the pair. So

83
00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:44,519
the three wave, Flood and Tide cast off their pleated

84
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:50,399
grass gowns and exchanged grickleskin waves swollen branching mustache of nerves,

85
00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:54,240
ushering Flood and Tide's genetic material into their ural maw,

86
00:05:55,079 --> 00:06:00,439
an organ specific to the pleasure and reproduction processes of vicalidisins,

87
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,120
secreting their own and rapturous excess. Ironically, it was from

88
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,759
this union that the dangerous entity tied it. Since then

89
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:13,639
the horizon emerged from, though not immediately eager. The latent

90
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,560
star of the Colidisan Codex of Sacred Myths came about

91
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:22,600
in the only way they knew how. Inconvenience, two glittering

92
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:26,920
eggs were produced by wave intended by a vigen Colidisan who,

93
00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:30,160
per fledgling tradition, cared for the nest in the same

94
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:33,600
way they cared for the others. The hatchlings that yawned

95
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:36,279
out of the eggs showed exemplary traits from the wash

96
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:40,959
of their first breaths. One wave real gen kalidis In

97
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,040
had gills, a trait no other Collidisan at the time shared,

98
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,439
rendering them capable of traveling to scurriless and beyond the moon,

99
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:55,199
as later Colidisons would protecting the planet then the galaxy,

100
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:01,160
just as tide protected the community wave runnel Vil, the

101
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,639
twin egg emerged with six eyes. This allowed for extra

102
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,720
site ultracite, the ability to venture into the night and

103
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:14,959
see clearly, examine one's environment, come to know things about

104
00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:17,920
the planet in world those lacking six sight would believe

105
00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:23,439
inconceivable for generations before the trait became a staple. Both twins,

106
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,720
too were born with the connection to the burgeoning neural

107
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:31,079
network Obsynian in their veins and the entire colidis In

108
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,000
culture in their brains. Both too were noble, serious, and

109
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,000
always good minded, three things that did not describe a

110
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,319
third sibling whose surprised wave on hatchingsh by struggling out

111
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,480
of their body, breathing with gills, six eyes, and a

112
00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:52,600
fanged mouth, oozing corrosive green fluid unknown to collide is

113
00:07:52,639 --> 00:08:23,519
in kind until then, Eager Vigankalidisin was born shellless, a

114
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:27,839
phenomenon that occurred once in every thousand Callid conceptions and

115
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,920
was considered an omen of bad luck. Calidis In culture

116
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,879
was built around service, education, pursuit, and defense. Hatchlings toddled

117
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:41,039
for only the wash they emerged, only spoke gibberish for

118
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,600
scepters were only helpless for arons, tiny soft, pale flaps

119
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:50,840
hardening to vibrant scales, as durable as any steel. Eager

120
00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:56,360
did something Colidizins were not used to. Cried. They were needy,

121
00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:59,919
demanding of the attention and affection of their layer, their cimar,

122
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,519
something considered more than taboo in callidis In culture. Worse,

123
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,559
Eager wasn't obedient, wasn't studious in any art except combat,

124
00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:12,879
a necessary and serious thing to Kalids that the Vigian

125
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,159
Colidizin used to settle petty disputes with schoolmates in their

126
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:20,360
instruction washes and bar mates in their early adult yushes,

127
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:25,840
all while Real allegedly strode a top liquefied lava to

128
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,200
unite distant Collisan communities, sailing with them in ever advancing

129
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,200
sky ships to distant lands to meet other kinds, making

130
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,399
peace in uniting the galaxy. Meanwhile, on Clutchensterle, Runnel defended

131
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:43,120
the Colidizans from an invading force of Prodoctals, an ancient

132
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:47,840
ancestor of Octolavians, leading a proud and peaceful diplomatic mission

133
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,639
to their foes, crouched and waiting in an attempt to

134
00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:53,519
diffuse a spat of prejudice attax at the edge of

135
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:59,120
the galaxy. In agreement would soon be reached, the Prodoctals pleased,

136
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,840
and run praised as a skilled negotiator in the yeshes

137
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:08,120
to come, though Eager only proved to be a troublemaker. Worse,

138
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,639
they had a knack for it, creating the first calendar

139
00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:15,240
purely to so panic into the usual timekeeping carefully kept

140
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,080
by Collidizans for centuries, wearing discarded shed scales to disguise

141
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:25,440
themselves as prominent Council Collidizans in post meeting briefings, the

142
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,039
Yesh of their twenty fifth hatch impress, though Eager's pranks

143
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,919
extended a bit too far for even the high standing

144
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,720
of their cimar to protect them, something the young Kalidizan

145
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,039
had leaned on again and again, and that Calidizan culture

146
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,919
would hold in taboo long after real The daring and

147
00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:47,480
runnell the Wise attracted potential mates far and wide, and

148
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:52,240
drew favorable comparisons to one another. But Eager was considered mischievous,

149
00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:55,960
burdensome on their simar, and someone to avoid for the

150
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,000
simmering mating season. At first, Eager considered this minor setback.

151
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,720
Their reputation was marred, yes, but they were still in

152
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:08,879
person courtship, and everyone, most of all those who loathed

153
00:11:08,919 --> 00:11:14,320
the Vagin Collidison, considered Eager brilliant of scales in mind. Quickly,

154
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,159
Eager gained the attention of a rebellious Vicalidis in Brooke

155
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:23,559
and a reserved gen Kalidison Stream. The three mat it

156
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,639
and made a nest and developed a deep, warm junipolia

157
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,360
for each other. But one wash, Eager came home to

158
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:34,519
find their nest mates gone for five washes. Eager waited,

159
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,840
neither Brook nor Stream returned. It was then Eager knew

160
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,799
a powerful leader in the community had blacklisted them, abducted,

161
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:49,360
somehow disappeared. Their mates violated their privacy and autonomy, two

162
00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:54,120
things grievers and collidisons held dear. In a fit of despair,

163
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,440
Eager lashed out psychically, their six eyes growing to eight,

164
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,679
all glowing firerange as the Khalid's consciousness shout through the

165
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,879
neural network to crash through the mind of Council member Wave,

166
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:10,919
the utmost authority figure on Clutchensterle an Eager zone Seinmar.

167
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:15,159
The violation was thorough enough for Wave to be traumatized

168
