The Rules
  • There will be no fraternizing with enemies. If you put yourself knowingly in danger, don't expect a rescue.
  • We are only as strong as our weakest link. See to it that you are getting stronger in some skill that is useful, whether it is battling, recruiting, charming, etc.
  • The King and Queen have final say in all matters.

It started as a simple speck on the distant horizon. A speck that moved with strength, but not necessarily purpose. A slow, delerbrate pace perfect for moving in the desert without expanding too much energy. Watching that speck as it ducked and climbed the various sand dunes and across the wasteland, the experience was clear. The speck knew her way around the hot lands.

Closer and closer it would come. And soon the form, a vague chestnut outline, would appear. The equine was sun kissed, with blonde tips though her natural coat would be sorrel. Perhaps the desert had simply spit her up. But Vesti knew better.

She walked with a head down, watching for vipers or other such dangers as she moved. Her stance and gait unbroken as she wandered. She had disappeared into the desert some time before, first with her two sons and when the elder had decided to leave, she had insisted the younger follow. Many times, she had watched the Sea from a safe position in the sands. Watched it come and go and know It wanted her too.

She was safe as long as she stayed in the hot hell that was Salem. Whatever sanctuary she had found though, the Voice had insisted it might be time to come back into the open. She could no longer afford to watch the herds play and pass before her. It was time to get back into action. To return to life as it were.

Vesti could never be sure if this were some afterlife or if this were real life. She had never been certain. Still, as she wandered towards the more civilized oases in Salem, she found her self slowing. Her resolve seemed to melt, if only for a moment.

A bit father The Voice encouraged.

“And if this fails again?” Vesti asked aloud.

It won’t, The Voice assured. Vesti cast her head down, looking over the emptiness.Vesti, it is time to live a little again. You can’t go moping about and hiding from every living thing forever.

“Never had a problem before,” Vesti muttered. “They always leave. Grai, Kel, Badr, Nikola. So what’s to say these will be different?”

Nothing, The Voice was ever honest. But you still should give it a go. Or throw yourself back into the Sea and let this be done. Well, she couldn’t really argue with that. So she continued her trip forwards into the Desert and it’s empty lands.
