When it was thick enough, he could lose himself there, forget everything and be safe. Out of loneliness, painful memories and despair, the fog rushed in his head. He returned to J'nanin and "the fog" first ate his mind and engulfed him. Seeing Narayan through the shield with drifting Tree fragments, he was convinced that the Tree had died and that nobody could be alive outside. He did not know the first tenet that served as the code to turn the shield off. When he finally linked back to Narayan, he only found himself in the linking chamber inside a strange ice-shield barrier. He spent some months solving the puzzles hoping to gain access to the machine that kept the Narayan Linking Book. Being a scholar, he found out the purpose of J'nanin and Atrus's hidden Ages of Edanna, Voltaic and Amateria, intended to explain to his sons the many factors in writing an Age. Trapped on J'nanin for years, he hoped that Tamra had survived and were tending the ailing Lattice roots. Saavedro was left alone to die, with venomous snakes, but he somehow survived. In his agony, Saavedro helplessly saw his only chance of escape burning slowly. Lighting a bonfire, they linked away, leaving behind the Myst linking book to burn in it. They explained that they didn't intend or know how to fix Narayan, but only to salvage what was worth taking from his world that was "easy pickings". They beat him severely and tied him up to a reflection pole. The brothers lured him inside a tusk where they waited for him. Saavedro was stunned by their behavior and found the book to follow them and beg them to keep their promises. The evil brothers left to J'nanin leaving its Linking Book behind. She gave him her necklace to remember her and Saavedro promised her that everything will be right. As the word started collapsing, Saavedro told Tamra to go to the reef with their two girls and hide. He was angry to himself for not stopping them when he should have. Saavedro was dismayed at how blind he was to their lies and realizing that they didn't understand their traditions. The rebellion brought imbalance to the Age, as the young neglected caring for the Tree. Being their ambassador, he was caught in the middle of the conflict, standing apart but seemingly neutral. She told Saavedro to talk to the young and calm them down, but he felt unable to, as their speeches were very convincing. Tamra didn't like the rising tempers and wanted to take the children home. Saavedro was shocked when Sirrus and Achenar spoke against the old traditions and instigated a rebellion. Saavedro was the "good ambassador" between Atrus and Narayan, and helped introduce them to his society and apparently Saavedro initially believed the promises. Saavedro took them and began teaching them how to care for the Tree and encourage it to grow.ĥ years later the boys returned grown up promising to "fix" their world so that they won't have to work for their whole lives. Atrus discussed if his sons could come to complete their studies by examining it and its people Saavedro agreed to tutor the boys, not knowing the torments that awaited him. He stayed for 2 months while Saavedro showed to him their customs, worked together and harvested puffer spores and showed him the Weave. He wanted to learn about the Lattice Tree and see and help with their endless labors. One day Atrus came to their village as a friend, claiming to come from a faraway place. His world was chosen by Atrus to teach his sons, Sirrus and Achenar about the writing of Ages. He was a freethinker, a "dreamer-teacher". Saavedro aspired to be an Elder, but was neither an isolationist nor tradition-bound. Saavedro was a scholar and educator from the Age of Narayan.
