Shadows in the desert

Sand Horde War Camp

Islana was training with her new bow, masterfully crafted, learning to wield it and getting used to its weight, to the new arrows and of course, timing herself to string and unstring it as fast as she could.

Leaving a bow strung constantly eventually damaged its spine, and so new Sister, made sure she always had her kit at hand with her new silk strings and that she was proficient in string it as quickly as she could.

She would loop on end before turning it upside down, wrapping the bow spine around her leg and pulling the taunt silk string to attach it to the opposite end.

It was running through these exercises that Amastan found her. The bald priestess of Viher looked on not wanting to disturb her leader and waited until her presence was acknowledged. When Islana looked in her direction she bowed her head.

"We have had reports from the edge of the camp. Something is stalking the patrols and the perimeter every night." She reported. "The guards report something huge. Some sort of beast. They have only seen glimpses of it or its massive shadow." She added with a grave pause.

"Rumours are spreading among the people that it could be the Skara."
