Ehliya shushes everyone and motions for them to listen to Fesra.
[Group] Fierra: *chuckles*
[Group] Eyla: *chuckle* My snare takes too long to cast...
[Shout] Fesra: Once upon a time, there was a great Eagle, who was the mightiest hunter in the desert.
[Shout] Fesra: She was sharp of eye, fast of wing, and a terror of talons.
Veto cringes.
Veto cowers.
[Shout] Fesra: But in time she grew bored, for nothing in the desert posed a challenge to her.
Ehliya listens.
Rhu'khar listens.
[Shout] Fesra: She could chase down any hare, kill any animal, but she never found a worthy opponent.
[Say] Krahg: Can someonkh kal "Belsameth"?
[Say] Ehliya: Nu kal.
[Shout] Fesra: So she began to hunt even those she would not eat.
[Say] Rhu'khar: Bho lak.
[Shout] Fesra: She attacked the prickly cactus, and found it a worthy opponent for a time...
[Guild] Hikmat [Irikhan]: Let's sit together, around Fesra.
[Shout] Fesra: But soon she learned to break the spines, and the cactus was no more fun.
Vorona sits by Fesra and listens.
[Say] Belsameth: Bho!
[Guild] Icek [Irikhan]: I'll be there momentarily. Tracking the pesky scout.
Belsameth cackles to Veto.
[Shout] Fesra: She attacked the rock, and dulled her beak against it for many months, and then many years...
[Shout] Fesra: but in time even that wore down beneath her blows and turned to sand.
[Say] Khal: Fool.
[Say] Telbig: Wut oyu doinfg.
[Shout] Fesra: Finally, ...
[Say] Krahg: Har har.
[Say] Crajk: Har.
[Say] Telbig: Wut happen.
Ehliya listens
Fesra waits for the killing to end, smiling.
[Say] Khal: Please continue your sotry.
[Say] Telbig: Is he not welcome here?
Belo motions Fesra to continue.
[Say] Irda: He wished to disrupt the festival.
[Say] Irda: He backstabbed one of us.
[Say] Telbig: Ah.
[Say] Belo: Who did?
[Say] Irda: A dead man.
[Shout] Hikmat: Back to the story!
Ehliya says a short prayer over the dead Bhalalar.
[Say] Veto: Dead man.
[Shout] Fesra: One day, when she thought she might expire from boredom, she flew over an oasis, and in the water she saw a creature like no other.
Zuhna smiles at Fesra.
[Shout] Fesra: A ball of fire, that burned so brightly she could not look directly at it.
[Shout] Fesra: Keening with pleasure, the eagle folded her wings and dropped down upon the unsuspecting creature. It did not even try to flee.
Ehliya listens.
[Shout] Fesra: But when she hit the water, she found nothing in her claws, the fire was gone.
Vorona lets the qir she was holding out.
Fierra nods to Fesra Mihrjan.
[Shout] Fesra: Again and again the eagle climbed into the sky, again and again she dove, until she was wet and bedraggled, her feathers in disarray.
[Shout] Fesra: The fire was a clever opponent, it was not where it seemed to be...
[Shout] Fesra: finally, eagle rested and looked up into the sky.
[Shout] Fesra: There was her opponent! Not in the water, but in the sky above!
Ehliya gasps.
Takahashi laughs.
[Shout] Fesra: The burning sun was the only enemy worth fighting.
Vorona hugs her knees.
[Shout] Fesra: Renewed, the Eagle shot like an arrow into the sky.
[Shout] Fesra: Up and up she climbed, fighting, struggling to reach the sun.
[Say] Vorona: And...?
[Say] Vorona: And?
[Shout] Fesra: The air grew cold, the sky turned dark, but still she climbed.
[Say] Belsameth: Much pain shall be felt tonight.
[Shout] Fesra: Everytime she thought she could go no further, the sting of the light in her eyes goaded her on.
Ehliya listens.
[Say] Uhlak: Ohhh.
Fierra nods to Fesra Mihrjan.
Vorona gnaws her knuckle
[Shout] Fesra: Finally, after an eternity, the fiercesome bird crashed into the Sun!

[Shout] Fesra: ...and was instantly burned to a crisp.
Vorona gasps.
Icek chuckles.
Ehliya gasps.
Fierra cringes at Fesra Mihrjan.
Hikmat nods.
[Shout] Fesra: She fell from the sky in tatters, her feathers aflame.
[Shout] Belsameth: And Saedron felt the pain of her sister's death.
[Shout] Belsameth: And the Devourer was born from her madness.
[Shout] Fesra: But Krykhalin looked down upon her and saw her bravery, saw how fierce and persistent she was.
[Say] Khal: ....
Fesra clears her throat.
[Say] Rhu'khar: Belsameth...
Khal scowls at Belsameth.
[Say] Belsameth: Har.
[Say] Rhu'khar: Quiet.
Ehliya nods.
Zuhna waves her hand at Belsameth: "shuush shussh!"
[Say] Belsameth: Sorry, the madness drives me.
[Shout] Fesra: And as the eagle faded into ash, Khalikryst breathed fire upon her, and Phoenix was raised from the flame.

[Say] E'drik: It is the weak that usually hide behind there gods Mozgus and do not speak of dogs Verlin who yips behind his master.
Icek smiles to Fesra
[Group] Eyla: Jha'ov Sisters
[Say] Mozgus: Begone filth, your heresy falls on deaf ears!
[Say] Icek: Qhe fir'khanim shakla qho prakla at festival?
[Group] Fierra: Jha'ov
[Say] Fesra: Ki, Icek
[Say] Verlin: E'drik, tell me. Has a city of the Temple ever fallen?
Icek Mihrjan giggles to Mozgus the Cruciator.
[Say] Verlin: Then, tell me, has an Irekei city ever fallen?
[Say] E'drik: Not yet Verlin does not mean it shall not happen.
[Say] Verlin: Then, tell me who is strong. Tell me whose god is true.
[Say] Fesra: It takes time to wear stone to sand, but the end is inevitable.
[Say] Fesra: Nkurakar does not ask us to build cities, fir'k. You understand nothing.
[Say] E'drik: Cities are a place to meet nothing else. You will never kill the Irekei spirit, Fir'k.
[Say] Verlin: You are right, devil-kin. It is inevitable that you will be worn down. You will accept the flame.
[Say] Icek: Stone is suitable only for graves. Sand covers all in the end.
Icek Mihrjan chuckles to Verlin the Suspicious.
[Say] Mozgus: And you should be so lucky to die when the All-Father returns!
[Say] Verlin: I tire of these red-skinned beasts. It is time to rest.
Fesra Mihrjan chuckles to Verlin the Suspicious.
[Say] Icek: I hope to come upon you in the desert, fir'khanim. No, I will come to you. It has been a few days now since I last visited Cinderholm.
[Say] Vorona: Death is what is missing from the world.
[Say] Mozgus: For your graves will be naught, but you will suffer...
E'drik Val'kyn laughs.
[Say] Fesra: The Dragon will restore, take down your overgrown cities.
[Say] Mozgus: Then bring your petty weapons and cheap magics, for i wield the true flame of Uvoriel!
Fesra laughs.
Icek Mihrjan giggles to Mozgus the Cruciator.
[Say] Mozgus: And you will beg for death when the time comes for your judgement...
[Say] Fesra: You can only taste what burns within our very skin. You are a pretender to fire.
[Say] Icek: For you, Mozgus, I will bring my cheapest weapons. No need to dull a finely honed edge on your pasty hide.
Icek smiles.
Fesra grins.
[Say] Mozgus: Hrmph, not like you could wield it anyway...
[Say] Fesra: Tread carefully on the sands, templar. They shift without warning... your name is known to us.
Icek waves a hand at Mozgus.
[Say] Mozgus: Why must you seek to slay one who wishes to redeem your foul souls?
[Say] E'drik: Jha'ov, cousins, this dog is all bark.
[Say] Icek: Until we meet on Virakar, cleanser. Jha'ov, my kin.
[Say] Fesra: Ki.
[Say] Mozgus: I urge you to repent and be cleansed devilkin!
[Say] E'drik: If you wish to try and cleanse my soul Mozgus leave the city walls and see how your flames do against me.
[Say] Vorona: I regret nothing.
[Say] Mozgus: I will not duel your filthy kind, you are incapable of a fair fight.
[Say] Vorona: Hmph. Baby-burner.
Mozgus glares.
