I was sent to infiltrate the {sel khari} and guard the First {Barya}. I failed, and now, I must hunt it down and retrieve it.
Sekhema Asala
What is this ‘Azmadi’ trying to do with it?
Jado
He is trying to get to Qimah before we do. He may be trying to enact the Gifting himself as some sort of claim to power. Or… he may have something darker in mind.
Sekhema Asala
I will not allow him to defile our traditions.
Jado
Neither will I.
Jado
It is done.
Jado
The First {Barya} is safe. I will take it back to the surviving {sel khari}.
Sekhema Asala
No. We must conduct the Gifting of Water as soon as possible.
Jado
You would still enact the ritual after such disruption?
Sekhema Asala
Yes… greater things are at stake. The Maraketh must unify, so that we can go to war. Let us return and prepare.
Sekhema Asala
Yes… greater things are at stake. The Maraketh must unify, so that we can go to war. Now, we must clear the way for the other akharas to attend… Let us return and prepare.
Jado
What impressive work. You may not see the Order of the Djinn in Oriath, but we’ll be there… doing what we can. May you have warm nights on your journey.
