I'm returning to the story of Sha Haisat and Keyanna, interplanetary colonists... a work in progress, the story of Sha, who becomes an accidental God to his world, no longer truly a man but still of human origin and very much a living God to the humans on his planet, and the long, long, long line of the Keyannas, the high preistess' of the religion that grows up around him, all of whom are true genetic replicas of his original ship born woman Keyanna Tryon, each woman mother to her own replacement concieved to Sha during the wilderness retreat of her trial.
This next set of panels will deal with the months Keyanna hides from the other colonists in the wilderness waiting for Sha to mature enough, as a fixed node, for her to simply talk to him directly. She brought two months worth of rations, but needs at least three, but Keyanna being Keyanna this is not really a problem. She has two full Ranger field kits, weapons and tools, the planet is fertile, benign, totally human compatible and she is a savvy strong young woman, she makes do as a hunter and a gatherer in the wild. But her days living almost feral are not really the point of this next set, for she is also in daily conversation with First, and Second, they who are Sha's southern and eastern adjoining edges in the strange matrix of life that lives below the sands of the equitorial desert, and for a human to speak for prolonged periods with a fixed node entity is most definitely a mind expanding experience... hallucinations and dreams and an almost omniscient portal onto the experiences of the other humans... by the time Keyanna returns to her own kind she is indeed the caliber of woman to be a global high priestess to an emerging society.
