There is a site east of the wadi (intermittent stream) – I can show it to you if you possess a map? – where corpses are left by the red robes. Though it occurs irregularly, it is frequent enough that the vultures have noticed the same pattern as I have: one red robe and two Sleepwalkers carry out the corpses and toss them without funerary rites, adorned in little more than a tattered aba (robe) or loincloth. Thereupon, the vultures have their feast."The other dustdevils spin slowly, making a low droning sound, like bees eager for honey. The Al-Aeshma smiles and continues in his booming voice, "And know that the second of the red robes' secrets is this: The Sleepwalkers are made of men, but are not men, they are created, but never born. And some are unruly servants, wandering the Valley of Mists and Badu al-Kabir in small groups, full of a wordless frustration, seeking without knowing what they seek. Unlike the other Sleepwalkers, these lost ones may be charmed and frightened, and some dull light of what they once might have been still haunts their eyes."Thereupon, the Al-Aeshma inhales as if he can smell the liberty of his brethren on the evening breeze, reminding him of the place he was exiled from. Speaking in a quieter voice, like wind hissing through crags, he says, "Last of the red robes' secrets is this, O Wind Called: Treachery runs deep in their hearts. One of their own, Omar Hazeem, was stabbed by his fellows and trapped under a stone sarcophagus. Trapped between life and death, Omar Hazeem reaches out to whisper into the dreams of mortals, offering his great treasure if they will free him.""These are the secrets of the red robes as I have heard them echo through the desert. Now, sha'ir, what is your desire for the second of my secrets?"</blockquote>
