On the cusP of the mILlenium, where genetik teknology has not yet been delimited, and the mechanisms of evolution and synthetic intelligence are open to creative articulation there lives a boy who dreams of a new species
He chooses two beautiful specimens to serve as archetypes for his biologikal experiment: a beautiful delicate Ageha Butterfly with black velvet wings he calls "Psyche" and a deadly Sasaurai Scorpion calls "Echo".
One night, under a full moon in an enchanted English Garden the spirit mother visits him in a vision and shows him the binary book of life and the law
"Do you want to improve the world?" She inquires, staring at him through a million fascinated eyes, her bald head, is ringed in halos of fractal stasis, her wings, rising high behind her.
"I don't think it can be done".
"The world is sacred, It can't be improved, If you tamper with it, you'll ruin it."
And he stares through the angel spirit, and divines her soul for understanding.
"Grant me my fever - find a place in the book of life for my creations - give them purpose - I'll follow your word all my life"
"Hunt for the ones that call themselves the 'Terrabytes' the silicon warrioress who live in the city on the edge of the world - they have knowledge and can show you how to design your beast so that it does not cause the destruction of the world - but beware - they are a vicious and cruel race who horde data, and delight in your fear, be careful, disguise your true self - go as a teacher of the word"
And with that she hands the boy a page torn from the book of knowledge. The boy mind is drawn in Obsidian and cast in milk.
Psyche and Echo
For 7 years the boy wandered, training under the guidance of the daughter of the ancient oracle. He learnt much of the ways of love and compassion under her delicate tutelage, studying the Kryptos and Logos of Sutra and Mantra, whilst all the time honing the skills he would need to survive in that glittering silicon ghetto of which he had heard tell.
Through 6 cities, 12 houses and 3 warring tribes he roamed, conversing with Wizards and Charlatans, training by demons and warriors and sheltering with thieves.
