[QUOTE="DrNilesCrane, post: 2903902, member: 7652"] [IMG]http://www.the6elements.com/graphics/adventure_banners/adventure001.jpg[/IMG] Zahkura tended the fire on the first day after the receding of the storms—common enough during [I]The Month of Arrival [/I] and inconvenient for those who traveled to Mivilious to seek guidance from the Oracle. For the entire month, at least when the weather allowed, the Mious tended a fire on the south shore, creating a red and black smoke to serve as a guide for the new arrivals. Zahkura waited patiently for the first half of the day, drinking water and occasionally walking to the shade of the nearby tropical jungle for momentary relief from the heat while keeping her cold iron spear handy and enjoying the slight relief the cool touch of the metal provided.
