Knitty use to live on a flat land, full of dead stars, the days were incredibly tiring and the night completely busy. One could said that nobody on Knitty's village sleep, you can see them early on the mornings hiding the animals under ridiculously big fabric, patch and sear together, you can see them o few hours latter establishing carps as huge as small castles, you can see them later sharing a big meal all together, even the Great Ruler of Knitty's caravan sit there! Everyone busy themselves until dusk, and then is when work really start.
Knitty's caravan use to wander around the whole world, a lovely tradition that keep going for almost 23 generations! There were some people who established on random kingdoms, create new ones or even go to a different direction, never turning back because that goes against their values ''Never looking behind, our people awaits us on west and leaves on east'', everything nice, but they're pretty flexible about this too.
How I was saying, night was the most dangerous and important part of the day, a lot of important things needed to be do...
Hunt.
If they wander around is not because they love to walk and get a harsh day, they need to move if they're willing to survive a new day, in a flat land where the only thing one could collect is dust, not walking forward was not an option, when the sun was high noone even dare to walk forward, unless you want to get caught by those creatures that swimm under, sometimes you could feel the floor moving right behind your feet, never to serious, those beast never get to close if you were lucky enough to have collect some Nryties last night or wise enough to rise them. Nryties were cute little birds on fire, lovely and playful, always guiding the caravans to good preys, everyone loves those little mischievous things, even when the 'prey' was more dangerous than the dawn.
Water was also a precious good, it was really weird to find in the wild, even more hard to hunt, yes, to hunt. A lot of creatures had adapt to keep it on their bodies, how was rare to find even for them they use to have special sacs where water could be conserved completely clean and use later by the creature. The bigger the beast, the bigger the sac.
Knitty was a skilled sac extractor... well Knitty didn't have great abilities or grand strength, pretty regular but with good luck, never break a single water sac in all the year doing so, some kind a great member of the caravan for that. But apart of that Knitty wasn't part of anything more, hunting? lucky enough for being alive until now, building? the main reason why the carps had patchs was Knitty, cooking? keep away Knitty of the fire please, even cutting ingredients will lend to a disaster, watch the animals? Knitty manage to loose three or four heads each time. Knitty only had one job, and that was enough.
But don't misunderstand Knitty, was a happy member of a happy caravan, nothing more to say. Well, was.
A day Knitty disappear, at night every member was watch for other, never couples, allways a whole circle, so one could allways be on charge of the next one and the next one will watch the following one, this had save them numerous times, and was an excellent method for preventing loosing to many members. But that day the one who was looking Knitty didn't notice, he swear that Knitty was in front of him the whole night, even help Knitty a few times to being caught and Knitty was right in front of him when dawn strike, so what happened? Where was Knitty? and why nobody notice until sunset???
