Sura Desert

The winds were harsh in the desert today, and Haiku was beginning to regret her decision to take a stroll in such weather. It was rare that she even traversed these parts, but she had made plans to visit someone outside of the mountains. Maybe it would have been better to simply reschedule, though, as the wind tousled her fur and whipped around her shawl. It was unrelenting, specks of sand passing by her face as she still pushed forward.  ...

It was not difficult to find someone willing to talk. That didn't mean that the message these little blobs of fur conveyed came across at all clearly, though. They shouted and screamed over each other, zipping erratically through the air as they made their way over to Guiyue's general vicinity. It was a very high-pitched experience, and the tufts of fur made this particular alcove of Venido Canyon seem extremely crowded. "Sorry," Guiyue said. "...why don't you go first?" He picked one ...

  Zia's ears rung as the furious black beast let out a deafening bleat. The cage she had made with her thaumaturgy magic was slowly burning, weakening. She looked at the black sonoaiti that was with her. "What are we going to do? He's out of control" Zia said. "What is wrong with aitielkh!""Doesn't any of them know water magic?""Obviously you gotta use water to knock him out." The fuzzies flew around the elkh's heads, bouncing off the canyon wall when they go...

Deep in Miatia's Sura desert a sonoaiti was deep in slumber. In her dream long moving shadows cast over her and she walked through the canyon which kept mother Aiti's secret. Hot wind tunneled through the tall rock walls and stung her eyes with grit, as the sonoaiti closed her eyes she felt something fly over her, but nothing was there when she opened her eyes. She took another step, she knew where she was, at Aiti's sacred pool, but Vesper wasn't there, and even more alarming, the pool was b...

The whispers from the fuzzy familiars could be heard echoing lightly in the cave. Shocked that someone had brought down their beloved Furcifer. The power the elkh that Vesper had brought was a wonder to behold! He had proved he was one of Aiti's children! But confusion still ran rampant through the flock as to why they were shackled still. "Just give him a moment, he has just been fighting with Furfur and probably use...

A bunch of black fuzzy familiars were flying about in Aiti's Pool, wondering where their Furfur was. Vesper had told them that they were going to find some Aitielkh that could help cure poor Furfur! They had left out quite some time and hadn't returned, Wisp, an older familiar, was going to see what had happened to their flock mate when they all heard water gushing through the cavern. A few had fluttered at the entran...

Twilight decorated the sky as Minos was moving boulders to form a bridge to the other side of the river for easier access to it. Water still splashed over them, making it a slip hazard, but he would be able to keep an eye on Furcifer if he took to the air again. He wasn't going to be mocked and attacked by some flying, rock climbing, cavern dwelling elkh if he had anything to say about it. "Are you sure this is a good...
