Lion Head Mesa زهرة ضباب mist walker

when the pair found the river, it led them home. first to the meadows lined with ripened bushes, which jawahir plucked from and shared, then across the prairie, to the steppe. it was here that they stopped to regale @Sakai with stories of akashingo, of pharaoh.

they said of pharaoh, this man is more than man, touched by sun, beloved among the fellahin.

of akashingo, the palace is immense and made of red stone. look, and you can see the mesa rise in to the sky! there can be a place for you among the people there, mist-man.

and finally when they crossed in to akashingo properly, with the light beginning to slant across the horizon, jawahir led on, braying a song for @Ramesses if he was there to receive them, and beckoned the gray cloud of a traveler beneath the arch, to where they may wait in shade.
