Dānu apara, The Tomb of Exiled Souls (An EB Hotseat AAR)

EPISODE 1

Dānu apara, the tomb of my soul...


In fact, I cannot remember much. The only thing I can remember about my early childhood from that great voyage was the man, Kūrūš the loyal friend of my father who disappeared around 6 or 8 years ago. My father never talked much nor said anything about the the great long voyage that my mother told me.

When I started to think like a man not like a child any more. I should have been around 11 or 12 when my mother died. In fact, it was at the same time my father became a "living dead".
He did not speak and eat anything for days, he also disappeared for two days after his disappearance the peak of white mountain close to Olba burned for some days. When my father re-appeared again looked at the smoke coming from the mountain and murmured something I did not understand. It was not like the language Yaunas spoke or Sakaens.

When I asked my father why my mother did not come back with him. He said that :
"Son, can you see the smoke?"
I said yes.
"It is the ladder for your mother that she will raise to the heaven."
I asked him whether she was still climbing it.
"Yes, my son the smoke will be disappear when your mom climbed the heaven."
I could not ask him why she had left us. Father was very sad and after that day I could not see his face smiling again.

One day, when I met my father near Dānu apara, he was murmuring "Dānu apara the tomb of soul..."
When he saw me, he asked me "Do you still remember something about the great long voyage?"
"I only remember a man who was holding the reins of the horse that I mounted"
"Do you remember Kūrūš?"
"Yes."
"It was him."
"What happened to him dad?"
"He..... returned..."
"Where?"
"Where you were born son, our motherland."
"Motherland?"
"Yes, did you learned the scripts I have given you today?"
"Yes, but it did not mean mean any sense to me.."
"One day, son they will, they will enlighten your way, your life."
"So dad why do not we return our motherland?"
"To live my son, here I am half alive if we return we all will be total dead...."
I could not ask him any more questions just watched together Dānu apara with my dad.
