Bhaire had never seen anything quite like this. He had heard whispers of a barren, sandy land full of strange, prickly plants and flowers, and was on his way to see it for himself when he nearly fell and broke his neck. Much scrabbling and a fair bit of luck kept him upright when little else could have. The earth seemed to have split apart, as if some great singular claw had raked across the surface. It was a steep drop, perhaps a dozen body lengths to the sandy floor below. Spurs of rock jutted out in certain places, littered the floor in others, and across the way from where he stood something even stranger showed through the rock. Ears perking, curiosity flaring, Bhaire took off down the line of the ravine, searching for a way down.

It was some time before he found a path he could travel safely (read:passably) to the bottom. The sand beneath his feet was soft and cool, as the sun rarely touched this patch of ground. He weaved between boulders and slag until he came to the same point he had viewed from above. It was still out of reach, but the design was unmistakable. A skull, larger than any he had ever seen, poked out from the rock. He had never seen it's like before, but it reminded him loosely of a bird's. he thought to himself with a grin. If only he could get closer... He sat an pondered, wondering what he aught to do. It seemed to wrong to just leave it here where no one was like to notice it. So he sat, and wondered.
