AVANI MATRI AND THE GAME OF HUMANITY



The Lemurian Return



11,758 BCE – 10,710 BCE



In the thousand years before Elianne’s life had begun, Avani Matri’s coldest temperatures rose too quickly, whipping up storms that collected and merged into great forces of destruction. Glaciers melted rapidly. The thirty-meter rise in sea levels took over coastlines and joined the floods of raging rivers. Surging tidewaters and enormous tsunamis of overwhelming force gulped up entire islands without warning. Whole plates of Avani Matri’s earthen crust shifted violently, and Lemuria was lost to the sea.





In the thousand years since Elianne’s life had begun, Avani Matri’s naturally cold weather suddenly resumed in the northern hemisphere, and ecosystems around the world began to rebalance. Nkiru gave warnings to the Guardians of the High Council. The planet was just resting. Through her visions, she saw the wrath of Avani Matri reawaken, shudder with violence, and loose her waters into the oceans in far greater volumes than before. Mourning the loss of her beloved Lemuria, Avani Matri would spew her anger, provoke the winds, and weep many tears for a very long time. The Guardians, Nkiru advised, would be wise to seek out a new planet to move the Game of Humanity with the next incarnating generations.


It was time, Kiehl knew, for Faeir to meet Elianne.


*****


Elianne did not know Lemuria when it existed. She held no bitterness for its loss. When Avani Matri’s natural world gathered around her, her own true Light of Love reached out, connected with, and revitalized the diminishing Lemurian Light barely remaining in existence. When Elianne left for the planet Faeir, the Light of Lemuria held out for her return… until it could not. In the silent disappearance that diminishing is, the last of the Lemurian Light slipped into the long sleep of dormancy, in wait for the Infinites of the Lemurian Return.


So stated in the Record of the Akash.
