I spent much time within the circle of stones with the other elders of the Haruspex, it was a rare moment of relaxation and swapping of stories. It was also a time of allowing various abilities to be shared and connected. This was the inner court of the Haruspex, a place that only those of us who have come a certain distance not only in age physically but in other ways. There is a reason we have different degrees of learning. The slow place intentional and imperative to learning. We of the elders hold a knowledge that is not known to them and we are oath bound to not reveal it to those not yet within this circle. Which is probably why we are as old as we are. It takes little effort for something's and there is little that we fear of ourselves. Though we each still have lessons to learn.
The time for one of our celebrations and elaborate rituals is approaching, the time of year that we do our ritual for renewal and fertility of the people and the plains. The time that marks the center point of the dark half of the turning Each of us have something that we are given to make and to do. There is much preparation that will begin and be done. At certain times there are very specific herbs that we gather in a certain way. Certain blends of plants will be prepared to burn within the fire. Specific colors to be placed upon the stone altars and to be worn, specific stones gathered and placed in specific places. Various tools are made by our own hands to allow only that is natural to be used, we have made various candles in sizes and color and shapes to be used. Much thought goes into this.
It was after we determined what and when that we sat back and spoke of the one that we have seen trailing us since the journey north. I shared with them what I have seen and what a few of the warriors have also shared with me. A particular incident stuck in my mind, that I was going to speak to Ba'atar about, as I have seen who it is that is guiding the enemy, I have seen a plan that they intend the small attacks are only a diversion they have a more elaborate plan. The one I have seen he is old but not that old. He has a weakness that I have seen, this is one that will have to be dealt with by us, in conjunction with the warriors, I have chosen those of the clan I feel will be able to assist me with this. I picked various ones for specific reasons. But I will not share this until I speak with the Ubar, there are things that he needs to know, I have a few thoughts on this and will see what my father thinks as well. I have retrieved the arrow that had wounded me there was much it could and would tell me, because I was going to use it in a way that I had not before.
I would have to think on whom to have help me with this tiny experiment.
