Humans came to Destiny, and the adults conceived during a sunstorm. Only six of three-hundred odd lived. But each of them was strange. The local natives braved hardships and became dour and counted the Sunwaifs as punishment for sins. This is the story of the confrontation between the children and the humans made cynical by fate.
