Chapter 5 - Turii

Note: This is not my translation, and I'm not sure if this is also one that was translated by DJSSFR or whatever the correct username was since I couldn't remember, or was translated by someone else. But in attempt to archive all the translations available for Zektbach in one place, I put this one here since we are missing Chapter 5 and 6. I'll work on refining the old translation of chapter 6 before making a new thread here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once upon a time.

The eight pieces of Ristaccia were found.

And the eight races, now in possession of the secret power of Ristaccia, awakened.

To balance the distorted stream of energy, the planet had been prodded into action by Ristaccia.

Finally, a mystical giant tree was born on the island of Turii.

And under that giant tree, once lived a special kind of race, the "people of the stars".

They knew neither about the other eight races, nor about Ristaccia.
They just lived there peacefully and quietly.

Different from the other eight races, they didn't have even qualia or sexuality.
They were completely locked out of the gate of "mutation". Therefore, they would never bring unbalance to the world,
and, likewise, would never be unbalanced.

They kept their population stable, and together with the giant tree, they had become the power of balance,
to counter the chaos power of Ristaccia.

Thanks to their existence, the planet was preserved from destruction after the Ristaccia War. Under the power of balance,
at last, the once ruined earth was restored. All chaos returned to great harmony once again.

But, this good thing would not last forever. An unexpected condition, finally, smashed the last hope for this planet.


<Holy Tree Turii and the People of The Stars>
On a mysterious island, where the site for Turii was located, a ceremony involving the people of the stars was held
every one and a half years.

There could only be, at most, 10 of these beings in the world, and their ages were marked on their bodies by rings.

Malchut, the eldest, realized that she would have to return to nature in order to maintain the Turii's balance in the world.
So after a ceremony with song and dancing in front of the nine other star people, she quietly went into the water.

But, out of youthful exuberance, Kukaru, who had been observing the ceremony, interrupted the ceremony. He belonged to an agency, Sazaragi, that was responsible for exploring distant lands and their heritage.
In his sense of justice, Kukaru rescued Malchut from drowning, much to his relief and her shock.Because of his interference, the harmonious circulating flow of Turii had been interrupted and chaos would soon begin.

Malchut was then taken away to Mashinowa, leaving the other nine star people behind on the island, causing disorder.
This break in the ring of harmony caused the disruption of causality between the stars and the planet.

Malchut gradually awakened to the disruption of the natural balance of the planet. She realized that the disruption
was now present and that she now did not have the power to eliminate it.
