As I linked in, the hut in which I had writen into this age slowly came into veiw. I'm glad to see that my attempt at writing, and countless hours of practice, and failier have paid off. I now stand in my first age. Only time will tell if I have been successful. The guild of maintainers had insisted that they inspect the age first, but I didn't like the idea of letting them march all over my age.

This is spectacular! although it is completely different, this age somehow reminds me of Myst island... the desolate beauty of it all. The sky is gorgeous, and seems to change color ever so often. The link in hut is aparently made out of the trees that fill much of this age. I have yet to see annother person, and the thought that someone is going to jump out at me with a spear and army of savages is deeply unsettling. It seems like there should be people here, there's obviously structures, but as far as people, there are none.

As I was walking through the forest today, I found the most delightful little pond. a small waterfall nerby, reminds me of my relto mounain. It is a great releif from the burning humid air. There seems to be a door hidden on the waterfall wall... when I kick it, it won't budge... could this be where the people are hiding? I'll have to examine it more... there seems to be a sort of... combination on the door, as well as a bar... that looks similar to the light generator power in the Stoneship age. Could this require some source of power? The symbols on the door look similar to letters... the letters YINFARA... perhaps this would be an appropriate name for this plesant age.

The Number of structures here are more than I expected... Yinfara was definitly inhabited by someone at sometime... what has become of them is a mystery to me. From what I have observed, the people were not simple savages as I had origionaly thought... they seem to have built some... electrical device, wires run throuought the age, to tall poles, and lead back to a sort of control pannel. Although I try and try, I can't seem to get the pannel to work. I'll have to investigate further.

Something quite unexpected happened today... I was walking in the forest, and all of a sudden, the sky (which was a bright green at the time) seemed to intensify, and the sunlight shining through the trees seemed to filter through the thin leaves, casting an overwhelming aray of colors on the forest floor. I stood there with my mouth open for a moment, the feeling of the wind beginning to blow harder, and the leaves swayed in the wind. When all of a sudden there was a great crash! yahvo help me, I almost had a heart attack! and then, rain began to pour down on my head, and I almost laughed! the cool refreshing water was a major releif from the intense heat. At that moment, I noticed something I hadn't noticed before... through the heavy rain, I saw a thin metal pole extruding from a tall building, made of multicolored glass. The reason I didn't see it before, is that trees surrounded it. Upon further inspection, I realized that the "stem" of the building (for that's the best word I can use to describe it, for the thinner green tree bark, gave the tower the impression that it were a tree, with glass panes that blended in with the multicolored leaves around it) had no door, or entrance, and I can't for the life of me figure out how the heek these people got in!

After many days of camping out in Yinfara, It has become apparent to me that the storms here are much more frequent than Earth storms, and shorter. Most storms only last for about 20-30 minutes, and it usually take about 35 minutes, until the next storm comes. I've been sleeping on the hard wooden floor of the link in hut for the last few days, and finally, after a sore hip, I've decided to install some carpet in the hut (I know it seems a bit odd, but it was already a fairly cozy room, and it would serve nicely to add to the decor, and it would be the perfect place to hang out durring storms) It wouldn't hurt to add an easy chair or two either.

Today I made a startling discover, after wandering in the forest for most of my days, here, I finally found a beach! it's a very pleasant place, and to one side is a glass hut, similar to the "Yinfara tree tower" (as I like to call it) in the glass aspect, but there is no stem, and the inside is gorgeous.. with a strange white carpet with a black symbol in the middle. The light shines through the panes, and reinforces cirtain parts of the carpet symbol to reveal a symbol, depending on what color the sky is at the time. I have yet to figure out what it's purpost is.
~~~
Today I explored the swamp. It was very dirty, the water (if you would even call it that) is muddy and absolutely filthy. As with the other areas on the island, there is one of those curious poles, right in the middle of the water. I can't imagine how the natives expected someone to swim in that disgusting water, but I'm sure they figured something out. It seems that I've explored the whole island now, and only time will tell what other wonders I may uncover. I hope to analize the various artifacts here in detail, once I've finished exploring.
