In mid-year 535 CE, the Serenwilde had an unexpected visitor: While
sewing some new attire for herself, Lief Myeras was visited by shadowy
figure with a pair of oval, green eyes, who did not stay long, but left
behind a single bouncing muku ball. Lief, though behind on the news,
soon learned that the muku were the signature fauna grown by a sharded
race named the kaelye, who dwell upon the aetherbubble Lyraa Ey Rielys,
and who were featured in dire events years ago: when Lyraa Ey Rielys was
on a collision course with Lusternia itself.
Like his predessor Taimi Kivinen, this visitor was reticent and
reclusive, needing much coaxing to interact, and his language skills,
though passable thanks to Taimi's coaching, nonetheless left much to be
guessed. Despite the barriers, Lief soon learned that this kaelye, by
the name of Lanni Ahonen, was looking for the Elder Goddess Maylea.
Through the subsequent months, Lanni came and went in the Serenwilde
forest, interacting with others who sought to help him, including
Pysynne, Kaiel, Aruokei, Millien, Verrix and Ani. Lanni learned more and
more Common, and discovered a particular liking for cookies. But
throughout, Lanni again and again sought to speak with the Bloom of
Serenity. Accordingly, those who followed the Goddess among the Seren
prayed to Her with much sincerity, and thus Maylea was called to Lanni's
presence.
It is said that Lady Maylea showed Lanni Ahonen remarkable kindness in
their first meeting, though She soon retreated to meditations upon
hearing his request. All was quiet for some months.
In Tzarin of 536 CE, Serens noted a particular concentration of Maylean
devotees gathered in Her Temple. None but those who follow the Goddess
know the full of what transpired within, but there are rumours that pass
among those of the botanical persuasions: that the muku plant, which had
heretofore been flowerless, has bloomed for the first time in all the
ages of the worlds....
And what has happened to the kaelye, Lanni Ahonen? Only the Mayleans
know.
