There are voices, down below. More than just the animals fused back together as some unholy mess.
You want us to rebuild, and to repopulate, not to peer into the secrets of this world. But it is inevitable. One cannot be done without the other.
I know this now for certain. We are here to rebuild your world. To bring it back to life. You can't. Not on your own. Diverse samples of life brought in to keep genes from getting too similar across generations and growing weak, susceptible to disease, like the Atropos virus.
You chose to start it here, because Discedo is familiar to you. That is likely it. Discedo is not a massive city, by any means. In all likelihood, you're just nostalgic for it. You want it to come back first, then the rest of the world, and see children spring up from the lives you have brought here so far.
You repress the abilities, to keep us close to the previous residents. To keep any one single person from usurping too much power, and claiming this world as their own. You want to keep us close as a community. Tightly bonded.
The world will be rebuilt, and at the rate things are, it will be repopulated.
But I will find the secrets along the way.
In the heart of this world, and everywhere else they may hide.
