Amidst her silent discontent,Princess Lusina found an unexpected ally in Yishawk, King
Fuquur's envious brother. Yishawk, who had always felt overshadowed by his brother's rule,
found common ground with Lusina in their shared sense of displacement. Their initial
interactions, seemingly innocent, gradually evolved into a deeper connection, fueled by mutual
understanding and unspoken desires.
Yishawk's attentions provided Lusina with the emotional escape she craved. In his company, she
found a listener, someone who acknowledged her feelings and aspirations. Their bond deepened
in the secrecy of their meetings, blossoming into a forbidden romance that defied the strict
norms and expectations of their society.
The affair between Princess Lusina and Yishawk was a blend of passion and rebellion. It was an
act of defiance against the imposed destinies of their lives. For Lusina, it was a desperate
attempt to reclaim her agency, to experience a love that was hers by choice. For Yishawk, it was
an opportunity to assert his own identity, separate from the shadow of his brother's rule.
Ammo, unlike his brethren who seldom ventured above ground, found himself irresistibly drawn
to the surface world and its inhabitants. His fascination was not merely academic; it was deeply
personal, as he had fallen in love with a surface-dwelling human woman. Ammo's secret visits
to the surface, driven by love, were in direct violation of the Shuyukh's stringent laws that
limited their interaction with surface dwellers. These laws were in place to prevent undue
influence and disruption of the surface world's natural course. Ammo, however, could not resist
the call of his heart and continued his visits, risking everything for the love he cherished.
During his time on the surface, Ammo also posed as a psychic and a magician among the
humans, sharing fragments of his advanced knowledge. His actions, while seemingly benign,
were a breach of the Shuyukh's principles of non-interference. Ammo's dual life - as a member
of the Shuyukh tribe and a lover of a human woman - eventually came to light. The revelation of
his actions led to his exile, a decision that weighed heavily on King Fuquur and the Shuyukh
council. Exile for a member of the Shuyukh was not just a geographical displacement; it was a
severing of ties with their inner world, a sentence to live and eventually die like the mortals of
the surface.
Ammo, thus, found himself living 20 miles outside the city that would later be known as Mecca
in Saudi Arabia. This exile marked a profound shift in Ammo's existence. Once a respected
member of the Shuyukh, he now found himself adapting to life among the surface dwellers, a life
starkly different from the mystical and secluded existence of the Inner Earth. Despite the
hardship of his exile, Ammo embraced his new life with a sense of acceptance and purpose. He
continued to use his vast knowledge to assist those around him, albeit discreetly, to avoid
drawing undue attention. His home became a haven for learning and a bridge between the two
worlds. Ammo's unique position allowed him to provide insights into the advanced sciences and
philosophies of the Inner Earth, albeit cautiously, ensuring that his teachings did not disrupt the
natural development of surface societies.
