Origin Story
Gemm, an ordinary human living in the wilderness, was once visited by a god. This god was not wrapped in blinding light, or shrouded in darkness, but simply appeared in front of Gemm as a semi-transparent figure of a man in a white coat. He introduced himself as La, the god of learning. He asked Gemm what his name was and what he did for a living. Gemm responded, stating he had lived in the forest hunting animals for food, and spent the rest of his time eating and sleeping in a cabin of his own making. Then La asked Gemm what his goals in life were. Gemm wasn’t sure how to answer this, he stated that he was happy living the way he did now, what better life was there for him? La stood silent. He then thanked Gemm for his time and faded off into the air. That night, Gemm could not stop thinking about the question La had asked him. The idea that he could do more in his life excited him. He wanted to go out in search of bigger opportunities. However, he had no idea where to begin. The next morning, as Gemm was about to leave to go hunting, La appeared once more. La asked Gemm what he was going to do. He replied by saying he was going to hunt cows. La asked, was that what he wanted to do? Gemm smiled, and asked what he wanted from him? La spoke with great power in his voice, the line Gemm would never forget, and what would ultimately become his life motto. To reach the stars.
