Chapter One Earth Date: December 1993 Yeerk Date: (Dunno) Perit Hur Date: Growing Season, 38 Atenit Ha, Year of Abemis Rehur My name is Erudet End Rehur Yiaggi.  I am a Perit Hur.  I serve the people.  I serve the gods.  I tend the crops with great skill.  I am a farmer.  A farmer in search of an omen.
