i would be happy to have you here again, pharaoh,aditya said warmly.
you are welcome—fire or not.the flames were beginning to ease; their fuel was diminishing fast, and there was nowhere else for them to go. the grasses were still frosted over, and the tree stood alone.

i understand being tied elsewhere,he murmured, almost too quietly for the other man to hear.

take care,adi said, looking back at pharaoh. he had left brook and suddenly missed her; he wanted to tell her what he had seen today.
i must go.with that, he turned, leaving the priest to whatever worship he still had to do.
