Guide to Eukarya (FW)

***A Guide to Eukarya*** is the series bible of *FeatherWings*.

## Premise

The premise of the book is that the Religious Technicals, the colonizers of Eukarya, have published a book documenting over one-hundred years of their research into the growing genre of xenobiology for others to read. The dragons have also contributed to the book, through the use of the translator Carver, Al-Hashim, and others created before and/or during the events of *Dragon Wings*.

## Plot

### Introduction

A letter written by Pastor Nicholas Adamson summarizes the events of *FeatherWings* through the eyes of the humans, and his hope that the book will lead readers to believing in Jesus Christ (as the colonizers are Christian).

### Section One: Humans

The "Humans" section details the origins of humanity in *FeatherWings*, and how they got to Eukarya in the first place.

#### *Ad Astra*

"*Ad Astra*" is a short story in the perspective of Nicholas Adamson, detailing the origin of the Religious Technicals and how they settled Eukarya.

In 2103 A.D., an eight-year-old Nicholas Adamson lives in the ruins of Charleston with his religious parents. He watches the first spaceship launch from his window and dreams of becoming a planetary colonizer, which his parents vehemetly oppose.

The next day, Adamson heads to school, which is held in the ruins of Charleston's Waterfront Park and its surrounding buildings. His first class is Science, which is taught by Mr. Stone, who teaches the children about exploring nature, in light of the spaceship launch, and how to hunt for barnacles at the end of a pier. During lunch, Adamson eats with his friend Martin, who tries to convince him of skipping school for the rest of the day to explore the ruins of the South Carolina Aquarium. Adamson refuses, knowing that he will be punished. Frustrated with this repeated denials, Martin goes with his plan while Adamson goes back to class. At the end of the school day, Adamson is surprised to see Martin leaving school, and the boy says that his plan was foiled by hall monitors and his parents have been informed of his "misbehavior". Adamson lectures Martin about going to school before the boys depart for their respective households. When he gets home, Adamson works on his homework in his room.

In 2111 A.D., Adamson is now sixteen and preaching God's word from the pulpit of his local church. His parents have effectively stamped out his aspirations to be a planetary colonizers, and he turns to the church for help. As Adamson preaches Romans 1:18-32 to a group of similarly Godly teenagers, a furious parent storms into the sanctuary and drags their child out forcefully for not being "liberal" enough. The teen's name is Arbeit, and he also attends to church to draw the attention of Moore.
