The Spirit of the Sands

A maiden member of our race once saw her ending approach before her time was done.

And so she cried out to the desert spirits to save her from the end that came unannounced.

And the spirits granted her her wish, encircling her, changing her into something... more.

Her form dissolved, becoming sand, while her spirit solidified, becoming impenetrable rock.

The sands amidst which she fell became her body, the winds her limbs and the desert her home.

The spirits granted her immortality, changing her into one of the eternal wanderers of the desert.

The Spirited Ones.
