The desert winds blow through the dunes, whipping sand into the air. Five figures walk towards a rock out-cropping peeking out from the sand seas. 'Greetings sisters it has been too long, I hear some of the others are already back as well. We found out about the beast as soon as possible. We were the first to awaken so it falls upon us to try to get the others ready.' 'Yes, sister I found a Steward looking for guidance and I sent him to gather some of the awakeners. He has sent them on some quest...' 'Yes yes whatever as long as they are safe together they can go on a pub crawl for all I care. They will run across some of the sleepers as they are destined, who is awake at this time?' 'Yishana was awakened by a gnome and a half-elf. Hel was shaken awake partly by a warlock and a wizard. Mala'kn's Lightpoint clan was able to awaken the power of the weapon which in turn spurred him awake. We of course rose 2 years ago and to this point there is no sign of the beast.' 'Have we seen any of the demons return yet?' 'There have been no reports of demons at this time, which is good as they will come after the beast's return.' 'Tell me of the awakeners.' Another sister steps forward. 'They are just starting to come together as a group and I believe they are getting to the point where self-sacrifice is possible. Tiala is a rogue half-elf, she was late arriving with the group but she is starting to prove her worth as a thief among other shady activities. Trelic is of course from the Lightpoint clan and his family weapon has accepted him. The warlock that woke Hel was unexpected but so far his place has been confirmed by waking her. The gnome wizard that woke Yishana has already accepted the role as her high priest. Elly is the adopted daughter of Oslo and was part of waking Yishana she has many doubts but I am sure she will soon prove to herself her worth. Megera's invite was intercepted by her sister as planned and Malaya will fill her role just fine, however, it appears Megera will still be playing a part.' 'Thank you lets us hope we can get ready in time for the Beast's return, last time he devoured 17 of the gods before the remaining of us entered our torpor.' The five sisters all embrace before turning away from the meeting place shift forms and fly into the night in different directions. An unseen scarab beetle skitters out from under the rock outcropping and flies off to the west.
