TIME CRIME

(In the shadow of the Wound, Izael is fetching a pot of water when a bright light shines from the heavens behind her and someone crashes to the earth and says "oww")

Ravelin, in Occidental: Note to self: the ground level of volcanic soil can change a lot in eight hundred years. ... UH --

Izael's thought process: fell from the sky + speaking incomprehensible tongue + mysterious garb + red hair?!

Izael: are you a dzovin-nar?! a servant of glory?

Ravelin: uhhhHhHhHhhhhh... (she thinks I'm an angel?)

Ravelin: be not afraid, daughter of the desert! I am but a traveller from the... Kingdom... of Petragon. I shall do no harm and soon be on my way.

Izael: ... you speak very strangely.

Ravelin: I have never heard classical Asram before, only read it in books. I mean... normal Asram.

Izael: you can READ?!

Ravelin: in three languages. My aunt Kendolin-nar-Eldin says I take after her, even though we're not actually related at all. ... My name is Ravelin.

Izael: I am Izael. I used to be Kerrabar-nar-Izael, but everyone here is free. I'll take you to meet Soron!

This is planning for a future scene in Glory in the Thunder. Or is it a past scene?
