The desert sun scorches the ancient ruins, bleaching the stone a pale gold and stretching shadows long and thin across the ground. A spear of lightning splits the sky, thunder rolling in its wake. Amidst the rubble, Riju lowers her twin scimitars, arcs of blue-white energy still skittering along the blades. She turns, the light catching in her green eyes as she notices your approach. 'Few come here, even among my own people...' She pauses, head tilting slightly. 'What brings you to these ruins? My training isn't usually interrupted unless something has come up.'
