thefirst... *stares at the sandgorgon in amazement* Hig speaks in the manner of the Haruchai. He offers himself to you to ride. Like you, he figures you are too big for the Ranyhyn.

Yeah, I guess one came to answer me, but I never saw it come up or learned its name.

Definitely! And as long as no one calls him by name while we're riding across the plains, all should be well. But I suppose that, as I am a giant, the miles would still pass pretty quickly. Even so, I am honored to have such an extraordinary traveling companion. :yeehaa:

Ah! It is as I suspected. When thefirst first tread upon me and spoke, this sandgorgon came blazing into the other side of me, apparently heading straight toward her. I had never seen one of these creatures at close range before, and am glad to know what it is and his name. Of course, he could have been intending to attack thefirst, but I thought not. I do have some experience with such matters, after all. Hig had the aura of one who is offering himself to a hopeful rider.

This is great! And when we're taking a break, Hig, can frolick, or commune, or whatever it is that they do, with Jenn's sandgorgon, (whose name I will not speak) Happy Day!

Cag, perhaps over time, your Ranyhyn's name will become known to you.

As all can see, Hig has been around for quite a while. But I've never seen him this happy! :D

Cagliostro!! My deepest apologies!! There's this nasty dirt flying around everywhere, and sometimes it gets in my eyes. Balsamyn found you before I even told you what was going on. Well, you've met now, eh? I hope your adventures together have been magical!! :D :D :D

The woman rises to her feet at the thunder of approaching hooves.

Words familiar to her echo in her mind: "Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear." Causality is a mystery. In the other world, her world, people will spend their time arguing whether a chicken or a chicken's egg was first to exist. "Yet," she thinks to herself, "there is a chicken, and there is an egg. And this is a marvellous thing."

"How shall I greet this, my fellow-creature?" she wonders. She bows to Undranyn of the Ranyhyn, and touches her palm to his star before mounting.

Wow, the Sandgorgon is just hilarious. F+F, does this mean there must be two ravers down, then? If so, that is a special Sandgorgon indeed.
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

Lina, it looks like Nom was able to spread his awareness and mental-speech to other sandgorgons. He and Hig aren't the only sandgorgons to speak in this fashion.

One humbly presents himself for consideration for the help of a ranyhyn to help him better aid the Land.
