In order to be officially accepted into his mother's tribe, Xa must face a difficult task on the eve of his twelfth birthday. Though his father, Mun, would like to offer him his place of origin as an alternative... even if that place is not the world they inhabit.

The problem?

Mun and Xa tend to get separated by the Pimaatiltle, the tribe the young Xa wishes to pertain to. Thus, Mun must produce several writings to attempt to explain to his son what he cannot say face to face.

This is the first diary, in which Mun describes to Xa that other world, and the start of a series of events that, many years later would lead Mun to the Pimaatiltle tribe.
