Surprise

Pilgrimage of Bones

Although Islana tries to downplay the battle with the Skara, Madaya quickly intervenes and retells everyone in great details how the huntress found the young girl running from the giant beast and their eventual confrontation with it in the ruined valley.

The adults around the fire look at each other, their eyes wide with surprise. The Skara were one of the biggest dangers in the Desert of Skulls, thankfully not as numerous as in times gone by. The mention of a Sk'elep helping the two and especially the redheaded woman, only re-enforced that the two were on the Pilgrimage.

"Sk'elep is a spirit of the desert." The older woman said almost reverently looking at Islana.
"But she is a foreigner..." said the burly man still unsure at what they were witnessing.
The old woman smile looking around the fire.
"So was the first Prophetess..." She said. She bowed her head to Islana and Madaya, and one by one so did the others around the fire.

They were part of the living history of their people now and forever.
