Mryna Brill intended to ride the god-car above the rain mist. For a long time she had not believed in the taboos or the Earth-god. She no longer believed she lived on Earth. This paradise of green-floored forests and running brooks was something called Rythar. Six years ago, when Mryna was fourteen, she first discovered the truth. She asked a question and the Earth-god ignored it. A simple question, really: What is above the rain mist? God could have told her. Every day he answered technical questions that were far more difficult.

Six years ago when Mryna was fourteen she first discovered the truth. She asked a question and the Earth-god ignored it. A simple question really What is above the rain mist God could have told her. Every day he answered technical questions that were far more difficult. Instead he repeated the familiar taboo about avoiding the Old Village because of the Sickness. And consequently Mryna being female went to the Old Village. There was nothing really unusual about that. All the kids went through the ruins from time to time. They had worked out a sort of charm that made it all right. They ran past the burned out shells of the old houses and they kept their eyes shaded to ward off the Sickness. But even at fourteen Mryna had outgrown charms and she didn t believe in the Sickness. She had once asked the Earth-god what sickness meant and the screen in the answer house had given her a very detailed answer. Mryna knew that none of the hundred girls and thirty boys inhabiting Rythar had ever been sick. That like the taboo of the Old Village she considered a childish superstition. The Old Village wasn t large three parallel roads a mile long lined with the charred ruins of prefabs which were exactly like the cottages .
