oo4 ≈ ❝ leave this place ❞
The blazing sun is hanging unforgivably in the sky above, a blinding, searing heat radiating off of it. The air is heavy and thick, the only wind that blows offers little solace either to any unlucky visitors, blowing a hot uncomfortable breeze, picking up sands in its grasp as it passes.
In the distance, a hooded, cloaked figure stands, with an oar-shaped staff in her hands. To any strangers that approach, she quickly points the large end towards them as a warning to keep their distance. "You would dare to tresspass on these sacred lands?" comes a harsh, commanding voice.
"Wait..." A second figure, twin to the first, reaches out a gentle hand to steady her and calm her down, holding her lightly by the arm. "Before doing anything, let them explain. I don't want to fight without a reason."
Some, like the woman beside her, might call the interruption itself a reason, the presence of someone who should not be here in this place, but Lethe (and Lethe counseling mercy is a new Lethe) has no stomach for any fighting beyond the absolutely necessary. She turns to the one they've labeled an intruder.
"What is your purpose here, traveler?"
