@DesertSonNawdar When the other man embraced him he returned the hug in kind holding onto him tightly. At the comment of his smell Grimnar grunted and shrugged, "Without having you to remind me, I must have forgotten to take my yearly bath all this time."

Had he been gone too long?
The question seemed to run around his head like a moth round a flame along with a dozen more. Would anyone remain? Would the serpent still lay coiled in the warm sands? Or the hawk circle around its claws glistening with specks of gold? Would the-
