Kumura was a place unmapped; a realm unreachable by ordinary means or in ordinary time. It existed neither here nor there, but in the ether; a sacred in-between. A world folded between moments, where time stretched thin and memory lingered like mist in the air.
Its inhabitants lived in eternal devotion to Kanu', the Three-Faced God of memory, time, and judgment.
Each bore the Onkra; divine sigils etched between the first, second, and third eyes; a sacred birthright binding them to the god and to the ancient covenant they were sworn to uphold.
Among these faithful, one clan stood apart.
The Malacu.
Their Onkra shimmered in deep cobalt blue; a hue so rich it seemed to breathe; steady and unyielding like a heartbeat. Unlike all others, their marks never faded. Not with time. Not even with death.
Once guardians of Kanu's truths, the Malacu were entrusted with knowledge too sacred to be spoken. They alone rode the wind-gliders; towering birds with wings vast enough to shadow entire ridges. From the heights above the clouds, they served as watchers, messengers, and protectors of paths few had seen and fewer remembered.
But all of that ended with Ukala.
The bond had been broken long ago; ten thousand summers past; when Ukala, once a son of promise, reached beyond what was given. Some say he sought power not meant for any living hand. Others say he defied Kanu' herself.
And for that, the Malacu fell.
