Editing Myst: The Book of Atrus (section)

===Gehn and D'ni (Chapters 5–16)===
His father, Gehn, suddenly showed up and almost immediately took Atrus back to D'ni with him, promising Anna that he would bring the boy back in three months' time. Atrus and his father lived on [[K'veer]] with their mute servant, [[Rijus]]. Atrus's immediate tasks included learning written and spoken [[D'ni language|D'ni]] and repairing the damage to D'ni that occured during the [[Fall of D'ni|Fall]]. Gehn also, reveals to Atrus that his grandmother was indeed that 'Ti'ana' of the history. Atrus' feelings for Anna are wounded for keeping this fact from him.

A large section of the book is dedicated to Atrus's and Gehn's dealing with Gehn's [[Age 37|Thirty-seventh Age]]. Gehn presented himself  and Atrus as gods there, however Atrus started to befriend the natives, [[Koena]], [[Salar]] and others. Gehn and Atrus found out however that the natives revered a geological-weather phenomenon known as the [[Whiteness]]. Gehn, in order to be the only entity to be revered in the Age, made some corrections to the book and made the phenomenon disappear. Like all Gehn's ages, this one eventually became very unstable.

Atrus also learnt the Art and created his first Age, [[Inception]], which his father didn't like.
Gehn and Atrus returned to Age 37 and order a [[Korfah v'jah|'god crowning' ceremony]] to take place for Atrus's first writing of an Age. During the ceremony, a great storm and earthquake occurred.

After having been pleaded to by Atrus to do something to save the world (Atrus plays on Gehn's feelings that he and Atrus are gods), Gehn made many erroneous deletions from Age Thirty-seven's [[Descriptive Book|descriptive book]]. When Atrus linked back, he realized it was a new age that was very much like Age Thirty-seven before Gehn arrived. This only meant that the people of the original Thirty-seventh Age remained sealed to their doom.

After having a large argument with Gehn about his abilities, Gehn starts criticizing Inception and deleting words from the book, ruining it. When Atrus asks him a chance to fix the link of the Age 37, and about whether a Writer is indeed a creator or just describes an already existing Age, Gehn maddened throws the book in the fire destroying any hopes about linking back for ever. Atrus decides to flee to the [[Cleft]]. While his father is intoxicated and sleeping, he steals his book of maps and notes that Gehn is constantly referring to; they contain directions to return to the Surface. However, Gehn and Rijus catch up to Atrus, and he is locked in a blocked room in K'veer (in which he is seen in the [[Myst (game)|Myst]], [[Riven (game)|Riven]] and [[Myst V: End of Ages]] video games).
