It happened suddenly... I linked to my Relto as normal after having visited with my friends online. We had journeyed between ages together... solving puzzles... having fun... playing hide and seek. Our lives were full of fun and discovery. It made me think of the first explorers of D'ni and how they must of felt having only their voices echoing off these silent walls. With these thoughts I fell asleep, comfortable in my makeshift bed and thinking of my friends in their own Reltos. I woke up in the middle of the night to the feeling of linking. As quickly as I had awakened... I fellt back to sleep and dreamed... a dream of Yeesha coming to me in the night. She spoke softly and her words were hard to hear. "You must journey forth alone. Your friends cannot help you anymore..." I tossed and turned in my sleep and heard her speak again: "Your friends will be with you in spirit... D'ni can't sustain you all at this time so alas you must all take the journey to yourselves until the day that URU can again sustain the masses..." Her voice slipped away into the darkness and her face back into the mists of my dreams like the fading of the sun into a foggy morning. I awoke suddenly, sitting up to find that things were as I had left them. I saw all my surroundings as they had been when I had first linked here... but something something was wrong. I just couldn't place my finger on it. I stood up, tossing my quilt aside and rubbing the sleep from my eyes. It was then that something caught my eye. I walked over to the shelf which housed all the books I had so far explored and visited. All my age books were there... The cleft The Eder books... red and green The purple cover of Kadish stared back The worn cover of Teledahn caught my eyes Even the greyish torn cover of Gahreesehn winked back but something was missing... That's when I realized... My nexus and hood age books were missing. I blinked staring again and even touching the place where they had sat upon my Relto shelf. No books. They were gone. I couldn't comprehend what this meant and looked around to see if I had moved them. I ran outside into the pouring rain of the relto age and only found myself soaking wet and feeling cold. Where were my books??? I suddenly remembered the dream... Yeesha's voice whispering softly... Dreamily... Sadly... "...D'ni can't sustain you all at this time so alas you must all take the journey to yourselves until the day that URU can again sustain the masses..." Tears came to my eyes and I fell to my knees upon the damp ground and cried.
