[b]Anrett and Anlug[/b]
[@MangoJuice]

With the Rokthan safely burrowed within the sand, Anrett used the last of her strength the hurl the knife at the bonfire, its flaming wood tumbling down as it cascaded onto the ground, sweeping up the corrupt Arsuron soldiers who followed Angar, burning most of them up instantly, but leaving many to suffer a slow death as they burned. The Body of Angar would not be found by the scouting teams or cleaners when they would look, being too disfigured to be recognized. As for Anlug, as she watched those who had betrayed her, her people, and her new freinds die, she sat in the sand bleeding and dying in her own right, at least happy to have been able to correct her mistake of leading them here. She left her tablets of what she had recorded on the Rokthan for others to read. Those Rokthan who would come back up would no doubt see her as she slowly bled out, and see her knife embedded deep into the wood as proof that she had ended the invasion. 


Anlug was thankful but not sure how long she could keep the Rokthan soldiers away; and the last thing she wanted was to be stabbed by one of those spears. Anlug took a dive and covered herself in mud to hide in the dark, and pressed her body up against a tree trunk, trying to be as still as possible. Her knife out in case, itself coated in mud to keep it concealed. Anlug was always known for her strange tries at stealth and sneakiness; today would be the day she tried it out. She waited for the Rokthan to rush to her location, and then try and sneak away and leave them confused. 

[b]The Fire Bringer[/b]

Angos had toiled for years, trying his best to find the perfect combination of strange sand, which he began to call Quicklime, and water to ignite the dry reed grass and create a fire. Time after time the combination failed. He needed something to help the fire to start, something to burn and begin the combustion of grass and wood. That discovery came on accident when Angos spilled a bottle of old separated dye into his would be fire. He found that the oil, extracted from fruit nuts from the Lotus Colony was able to combust when exposed to the quicklime, and create a fire that can be grown. The discovery is enormous, and Angos' mixture becomes widely known in the Arsur, and many uses follow like cooking food, and meat smoking. It is found that heat produced by fire is able to crack large stones and make bone more pliable. The tool makers, still toiling over the stange stone Copper have taken interest in the use of fire and its heat in shaping copper.

[b]Explorers in Soruli Territory[/b]

The explorers followed after Naho, unsure of where exactly she was leading them. Many questioned whether or not they should be trusting these creatures. But some argue that this specimen at least seems overly trusting and borderline naive in her judgements. The others point out that they don't even know whether or not she is exhibiting friendly behavior or simply normal reactions to outsiders for her species. They only had time before them as they tried to imagine what might be ahead.
