* Writing *

"Malinalxochitl, come with me to the Caves of Wisdom, I need you there." You state, and your science adviser leads the way.

Upon Reaching the Caves of Wisdom you find yourself in an area greater and grander than Lascaux, cave paintings adorn all the walls and bright fires burn to illuminate them. There are six other people here, each strange in some way. One is an albino, another three have abnormal eyes, (two green and one blue,) and the remaining two are 'mirror twins'. Half of them are male and half are female, but all bow their head to your adviser.

"Good day everyone," You begin, "it is my will that our civilization shall begin researching Writing. Writing is a fundamental advance that gives us the ability to build Libraries, which will speed our research into other advances and with Code of Laws it allows the advance of Literacy which will give us access to The Great Library: perhaps the single most important Wonder in all of history. We have an alphabet, I now wish for you to begin developing a standardized and unified way of USING that alphabet to write down words and concepts so that they can continue to be read by future generations long after you and everyone else alive today are dead," You explain.

"We will begin at once my lord!" Malinalxochitl states then looks at you with fleeting, downcast eyes. "This will require a lot of birch bark, brushes, and ink..." she says with a pained tone.
