Lumbering, the creature moved to Harn - and in it's faming eye he could see a terrible intelligence.  The beast studied him for a long moment before it took him too into it's yawning jaws.  Darkness, burning and a pain so intense that even Harn's Mul fortitude was overwhelmed immediately followed.... then finally, nothing.Pangs of hunger and a mouthwatering smell was not what Harn expected of the afterlife.  In fact since the gods had long abandoned Athas, he'd long abandoned them. Hath,  his Sire, had taught all the young of their Stable - there is only faith in blood - and he had his whole life held to that edict.  After the nothing... was nothing.  Yet here he was ravenously hungry.  And that damned itch was back.  He reached down to scratch.And froze.  He opened his eyes and at first there was only a reddish haze, but after blinking a few times he realized it was the dancing light cast by a fire.  He could move.  He scratched and turned his head, and turn it did!  He felt weak and a fresh born Stone Lizard, but he could feel!"Welcome back to the living" said a friendly voice in the Tradespeak common to the lower classes of Raam. He swivled his head and was surprised to see the nameless broken human who was with him and Oma - offered to the desert.</blockquote>
