Digging

Alexis moved her belongings to the abandoned building, an hour or two away from the centre of the city. She noticed some people around the area but overall she knew she would be afforded some privacy away from prying eyes.

The next day or so Alexis spent her time, making notes of the strange drawings in the building she came to refer to as the Red Keep, adding more and more glyphs and symbols to her growing collection.

She knew whatever was depicted here was tied to ancient past of the Ozainae. It was not clear what the connection was to Fosia yet.

She cleared more and more of the rubble. It was slow work but it felt good, to clear her mind with a menial repetitive task in contrast with the revelation she was finding.

Alexis could tell the lack of Tusks anywhere in this building but instead the symbol of the triangle everywhere she looked had a profound meaning. And that name 'Zairae', felt like an absence.

An absence that Alexis had to fill. Later that evening she broke through into the lower reaches of the Keep finding a large circular cave, covered with primitive paintings, that reminded her of ancient caves in Garrah.
