The Akashic Records of the Last People as Written by Neko, by Tanya Meeson

Once, in the Time of One Moon, only Luna danced as Earth’s small sister. The land and ocean were separate. The land was dry, the ocean tame. Now in the Time of Two Moons, the land and ocean are no longer separate. The land is no longer dry, the ocean no longer tame.

It is the year of Two Moons 328. I am of the Last People. We are forbidden to make record but I write in the old language because my mother, the last of The Akashic High Priestess, taught and commanded me so for those of The New World, in the time that is next and for those who do not know. My mother is dead. Her name is Nela. My name is Neko.

This is not sand. This stays.
