There's another side that you don't know

It was taking a significant amount of excavation to figure out what the bone actually was. So far she’d uncovered a large, semi-smooth surface that proved to be curved, and she was just discovering a circular hole that unbeknownst to Razi was where the eye of the long dead animal was once held within it’s tremendous body. The digging was easier than it should have been, probably because the bone was unearthed once before, a long time before the woman of shadow and light came to find it. Her experiment with excavation was interrupted as she heard a soft tinkling sound, like metal on metal. It was accompanied by the sound of paws, which after some listening Razi thought signaled a size and weight with which she was familiar. The way each paw hit the ground, she knew those specific paw-steps. The scent that followed revealed the mystery. Nura.

Their relationship was… Strained, at best. Razi didn’t really understand it, she knew it had something to do with their childhood and the odd questions she’d been asked as a child. Her family had asked her once if she recalled what happened to her mother, and it was only then that Razi realized she was suddenly gone from the picture. To this day trying to remember more made her head hurt, as though her body protested the attempts but she did not know why and so chose to ignore it for the most part and not ask questions.

Nura and Nowa. She should have known they would appear, for though it was only Nura who addressed her, somewhere over Razi’s right shoulder, where one was the other would eventually follow. She may as well have had them both at her back, sightless eyes staring her down impassively. They were not warm creatures. Turning a little, as she figured Nura would still know if Razi was so rude as to not even face her sister to address her, Razi called, ”Have the oracles finally made it to the party? You’re a bit late, you know.” There was no harshness to her voice, despite her words. Razi didn’t hold resentment towards her siblings, even if she didn’t really know what their deals were.

Resuming her digging, Razi dug deeper, making her way down to the front of the long dead creatures face. When she came to some kind of grown coming from it’s head – a strange thing that would prove to be one of three horns – she paused and asked, ”Have you made it to the Empire yet? Amon has been very busy here.”
