You decide to try to find the oasis, so you keep going into the dunes in hopes of getting a good direction. Since you're heading due south, you assume you'll run into it soon enough. While you wonder about your path, you suddenly run into a dragon-like creature. She is bright yellow with green markings and wings.
"Wander-or," she yelps.
"Hello," you reply, walking over to her. To your surprise, she repeates "Wander-or" over and over again. You ask her why she is repeating herself, but she does not say anything else. Finally, she stops.
"Sarin~Yei," she says as she puffs herself out. "Sarin~Yei."
Again she begins to repeat herself on end, but she stops when another voice begins. "Sarin~Yei, come here." The voice is female, no doubt, but also very commanding.
A tall elvish woman of about forty greets you with a warm smile. Sarin~Yei lands on her shoulder, chirping wildly about something or other. The woman bows to you.
"I am Epiphany," she introduces. "This is Sarin~Yei, as you may now know. She can not speak, for she is a Kinsarian flit..." She nods. "Don't be alarmed at her chattery ways. Flits are much like parrots, and that is why she could not reply."
Epiphany scratches Sarin~Yei's chin. The Flit chirps happily and flies off. "She is heading back with me, I see. But, I shall tell you this, wanderor, many birds in the area are less than happy with wanderors. Sarin here is very happy that you saw her." She bows. "Good luck."
