Red dye from an insect discovered.VisitorsA pair of Uaru hunters scoured the lands as they soared in the sky. Sometimes, they would return aground as they keenly followed the hoof tracks of what seemed to be a gyag. Gyags were beasts native to the land; large herbivores that walked on fours and had a thick earthen colored coat, possessed fine flesh and fat for a feast but were armed with a tusk and a pair of horns on the head. Coupled by an aggressive nature when provoked, the gyags were known to have skewered many Uaruins that were too careless in handling these mighty mountain beasts. However, the duo were experienced hunters - having hunted in these plains and countless gyags for many years.
The hoof tracks trailed down to the foot of the glacial mountain as the duo silently followed. The duo eventually spotted movement in the direction of the desert. Rather than a gyag, they noticed a group of foreign beings, the bright blue of their skin contrasted by the yellow sand. These beings walked on two legs and seemed organized as well.
The hunter duo became curious and decided to put the hunt off for another time. The elder male Uaru - identified by his rather intricate hair-braids in the color of the sun with streaks of white and a large fur overcoat, urged the younger female to conceal herself in the trees.
The younger female Uaru with hair the color of autumn leaves sporting a single braid to the back meekly obeyed as she hid herself on the canopy of a tree. She strung her wooden bow with efficiency and drew two arrows from the arrow holster hung on her right waist - gripping the feathered part of the bow tightly in between her fingers. She kept her eyes over the elder Uaru vigilantly, understanding her role to assist if necessary.
The elder male Uaru then approached the visitors. It wasn't long before the four foreigners noticed the winged humanoid approaching them from the sky, to which they vocalized out in a seemingly friendly tone. Returning the favor, he landed and attempted to communicate with the four tall individuals nearly twice his height, as he began vocalizing his words - oblivious to the fact that both spoke very different languages. Upon closer inspection, he noted that they had a rather glossy skin that was the color of the sky and glimmered radiantly under the light. He wanted to remark of its beauty - as he then tried his best at gesturing with his arms accompanied by vocalizations. Of course, the language barrier was never that easily broken.
However, these foreigners were considered travelers, and as tradition dictates, they must be welcomed appropriately. The elder Uaru smiled and gestured towards them, hoping that they would understand that he meant 'follow' and started pacing towards the mountain. With a loud whistle that mimicked what seemed to be bird, the elder Uaru signaled for the female Uaru in hiding. She understood, placed her arrows back into the holster and efficiently unstrung her bow before she proceeded to land near the elder one - giving off quick glances once in a while to the strangers as she paced beside the elder Uaru. Her height was noticeably shorter than of the elder one now that they walked side by side, but both equally effeminate looking.
