When the waitress arived he ordered some milk. He waited untill she was out of earshot. "Well, I had remembered that Uno, my first former selve, was given the job to guard the sacred ground of the bar. This job he was given by trapped Ares himself. I was to await the one whom would take us back to our rightfull place on Earth." Mhuahaha smiled at the barmaid when she arrived with his milk and then took a sip. Goatsmilk it was. He preferred the milk of cows, but it would do the job of carrying his throat through the comming story he reckoned. The Barmaid left again. "Well, there's a problem with the only history known to us. As you well know, we were banned here by Zeus' authority. We were men of Ares and lost his war. Thus we were banished to Alter-Earth. That we know. Or rather, we think that is so. However, it didn't sit well with me. I had heared some of the ancient stories...well...Uno was told by his grandfather. There are records of old in karmina's library, as you well know. Within lies boundless information to those who poses the intelligence to seek it out. So I thought anyway. Thus I went to the library, seeking out accounts of the days before, during and after our banishment here. There are few accounts left of the days of our banishment and the first years after. Soldiers aren't the most litterate of all. Not much was written down in those days, fewer survived the test of time. Knowledge is spread thin. There were quite a few accounts of before the war however. Zues did not just warp the army to this place, a couple of cities as well. Within those cities lied libraries. The books were one of the few things salvageable from the rubble which were the cities after they were warped here. They were clay tablets you see. Not the fickle papyrus we write on nowadays. Papyrus decays in our climate. Those clay tablets were made of the finest clay, though that did not stop them from shattering, they could thus forth be mended again. From copies of those old accounts I managed to decipher old myths. Amongst them, the myth of creation. How Gea became the earth. This was the same myth Uno was told. The myth of earths creation. This is my problem. I now knew what was earth has a being. This being was Gea. This must surely mean that Alter-Earth, has a simillar state of be. I could not find any accounts of such a being in our fine library. Thus my path was clear, I was to travel to the capital of our knowledge, Dionysus. When I got there, I decided to enlist myself in its university. I started to study archaeology. Living through a nice part of it helped for sure. I soon became a professor and an intimate of quite a few of histories scribes. None knew anything about Gae, as I had lovingly started to call the godess I searched for. Thus I searched its vast collections myself. I reread the original clay tablets of which I had only read the copies. I found nothing. My story has catched up to a year ago now. Five years after I had started teaching, seven after we parted, I was still no closer to my goals. But then the most wonderfull thing happened. A local Karminan farmer dug a well and stumbled upon a clay tablet and some pieces of pottery. He gave it to a local amature seeker of history, a person I had once met. This person immediately sent me a copy of this tablets markings. There I had finally my lead. On that badly done copy I read that the tablet held storage information. Information about resources held storaged for a temple. The script was simmilar to the linear B script which our ancestors on Earth used. It was the smae script used by our first king who had lived on Earth itsself. I Immediatly summoned this historian and his tablet. After a few days I got to read the real thing. And there the information I needed was written, it was a temple to a godess of Alter-Earth. Not more was written, but it was all I needed. I quickly assembled a team and we've started digging half a gyear ago. Sadly we found nothing so far. Well, that's not entirely true. We found lots of remains of the ancient city of Karmina. The entire city of karmina is a huge Tell or Ward as we call it in the trade. A tell is a hill build which is created by the constently rebuilding of buildings on the remains of older buildings. A ward is a hill artificially created by humans to battle floods usually in a tidal flat environment. Karmina is a bit of both. This land has always been flooded by the river Carmen. Thus at first old Karminans raised this city to battle its periodic floods. In later years, the river was dammed and now we have no need of artificially raising our lands. From those days onwards, we raised it unintentionally by building on old remains. We thus found beautifull remains of houses, official buildings and the oldest remains of the Karminan city center so far. But no clear signs of my temple yet. I have the entire stratigraphy mapped, I know how deep I must dig to reach the oldest layer of Karmina. My men have dug out almost all of old Karmina as well. Still no sign of her."
