Lion Head Mesa Viper

@Zaahira

 

The daylit palace is a place of worship, venerated corridors tolling with the soft utterance of prayer and smoke of incense. At night it’s second skin is shed as tradesmen take to their wine and drink to the labors of another day. Drunken chatter sweeps around them as Eset prepares Zaahira’s drink, a bowl brimming with sweet, crimson liquid. Then they pass into the darkness, weaving their way towards the Mazoi’s chambers.

The palace is a winding network of sandstone passageways, a labyrinth she is learning under Tuna’s instruction. But eventually they will find Zaahira’s room.

She enters and places the bowl down before stepping aside, allowing the Mazoi to first settle then awaiting further instruction.
