The shadows lengthened over the deep desert as
Silver Lover of the Lightning lay flat on her belly. Hidden behind the crest of the long scalding hot dune and watched the outlanders come with their slaves soldiers, and an escort of her former countryman. Soon the time to strike would come and she would lead her warriors upon them but it was not quite yet for she felt that something else must happen first something terrible strange, utterly portentous and unprecedented.
In the column below
Gelmuxi Yofahu plodded at the head of his troops enjoying the desert heat as his man & they where all man all pitiful fifty of them trudged & sweated in their heavy armoured coats and behind the menagerie of hunters servants slaves & local troops followed on he would have to call a halt soon he new but he was hoping for a while longer before his local guide advised him it was a good place to camp.
The shadows lengthened further and turned to night as
Silver Lover of the Lightning watched this time on the form of a nocturnal deep desert
Jerdt as the outlanders made their camp setting up bright pavilions of silk which billowed in the sunset breeze. Which Breeze also carried the alien smells of their cooking and the sounds of their foreign revels from behind their meagre guard.
Silver lover of the Lightning would teach them to invade her lands but not yet but soon the change was coming & when it came she would unleash her desert warriors......
In the camp
Mennemon Jaxut wandered away from the revels that was not what he had come into the deep desert of the south lands to do he could have stayed at home and had that sport he came to hunt as the others said they did but he was not going to be hunting beasts however fierce he would be hunting
anathema.....
To Be continued......
