His first encounter with the Attar people was... strange. The boy sitting inside the rusty iron prison cell had pale skin by Eorcein's standards, distinctive ears shaped like funnels, and if you could look closely, you might recognize very thin and meager fingers in his hands.
As Grisha later found out, Attar's particularly thin fingers were one of the body organs that had degenerated due to their unique supernatural power, and as they no longer had to carry heavy objects directly, their hands evolved into delicacy rather than strength and thickness. Their evolving was focused on quickness and agility. In particular, the main theory of the current generation of researchers is that, due to their characteristic of placing importance on imagination and delicacy, their fingers became thin and long to point to something or to be sensitive to the senses. In addition, long fingernails are essential to support thin fingertips, and it is said that they were also used as a form of art, such as painting or engraving patterns on them. The unique hand shape of pressing the fingertips together, which was used at the first meeting between Grisha and Sheger, is a prayer method that has been handed down for a long time in the Order of Attarus, and is surprisingly simiral with gestures of the cultural sphere of major religions that had a great influence on Eorcein's old home planet. Considering that it is a culture far beyond the universe, it has surprising similarities with the prayer methods practiced in the universe, but many scholars found out that in many civilizations who have separate body parts for walking or does not require walking at all, and at the same time have body structures such as two arms that are capable of using delicate tools, similar religious gestures and cultures tend to appear in their history. So even if you found out about familiar hand gestures or movements are found in civilizations hundreds of millions of light years away, they claim that it can not be the basis for nonsense, such as 'the legendary creator god who is creating and experimenting'.
If we look again at the situation compared to the heated debates and issues among scholars about the direction of evolution of the Attar people or the similarities between the civilizations of quadrupedal humans, the first meeting between Grisha and Sheger was relatively amicable.
This is a piece of my writing about my original stories concept, and a concept sketch.
May be continued or completed, and may be disconnected or abandoned because I will be more busy after graduation, but this story is one of my favorite of my own and I want to develop many things of this concepts. But what am I saying I'm too lazy and amateur for this great concepts.
Sorry my bois. But hey, I gave you a cozy armor, is that right...?
