I WISH YOU COULD SEE THE WICKED TRUTH
CAUGHT UP IN A RUSH, IT'S KILLING YOU

Just beyond the Rosebloods’ scent lines, into the wastes of their desert, five massive wooden structures loomed against the backdrop of sand dunes. The wood creaked and groaned, barely more than piled firewood in vague shapes. But, the likeness of them were unmistakable when lined up side by side: the wolf, the dolphin, the serpent, the rat, and the eagle. The sun set hardly more than a few seconds ago, and the remaining daylight was fading quickly – among the wooden effigies of the Aspects, the fire-maned lioness abandoned assembling the sixth figure with a huff. She hadn’t managed to get a clear description of what animal it was supposed to look like, anyway, so she supposed she’d need to leave it out of the pantheon.

Paws digging into the sand, the lioness’s maw opened to spew forth a flood of red and blue flames – hitting each of the effigies long enough for the fire to catch before moving onto the next. The warped cracks of the burning wood filled the air, as the sky filled with thick smoke stacks. The orange-red flames reflected in Ninazu’s eyes, throwing heat across her fur as she stalked through the figures to add another sheet of fire anywhere the fire stalled on the effigies. Perhaps she ought to have left minutes ago, but it took time to assemble this sacrilegious event – and the pyromaniac was going to see it through to the end. Damn her if leading a clan meant she couldn’t enjoy seeing the aftermath of her work.
