Rosewater Oasis red desert dunes

Backdated to August 8th.

Meridian approached the oasis with a shiny chip of stone in her mouth. The oasis was an ideal place to conduct ceremonies, but unfortunately for her, an impudent coywolf had soiled it. Meridian believed it was time for a cleansing. 

She saw nobody at the pool, but neglected to look elsewhere for watchful eyes. She doubted she was welcome here, but sensed no danger. Careful not to step in, she dropped the crystal in the pool. Uttering a silent prayer, she bent down to drink. The water was clean, in her eyes. The gemstone, yellow as the sun, had absorbed any bad energies or whatever else the coywolf had released in the water. They young spiritualist was sure someone would take the stone, but she didn't mind. Anything unholy lurking in the waters was now trapped inside the stone, sure to curse would be thieves.

Tags for reference, as she is trespassing (unofficial territory)! But AW!
