There were few times when the Rajah left the desert, today being one of them. Khalsa was growing larger with each passing day and Kharak could not help but be overwhelmed with pride. That which had only dwelt in his memory was now rooted in reality. He had a bountiful harem of females that only seemed to grow with each passing day. He could leave his lands without fear of losing them for Khalsa was strong. Still they would grow into the future and become a might force upon Anikira. Thoughts of their glory rang within Kharak's mind, reminding him just how much work had to be done before they were an empire. He still didn't have enough Ranis to reach to build his tower to heaven. Not enough was given for the gods to accept him. Shaking out his pelt Kharak walked along, the sands of his home replaced with the rocks of Olum Karst. This place was even more barren then his sand pit, the rocks not allowing anything more than scrub and moss to take root. There was no water for growth, no rich soil to nurture life. Just the hard and desolate rocks made by the explosion of thee volcano. It was almost as beautiful a place as the volcano itself, nature foreboding enough to stop the progression of life.
Kharak planned for Khalsa to become just as the rocks were, hardened and desolate, not allowing any facet of life survive outside of them. Walking carefully, the rough field under foot, he allowed himself to be lost in the awe of this place. Nature always had a way of intriguing him, of reminding him just how much treasure was out there ripe for the taking. There was so much of this land that he had never seen. Soon he would though for this land was nothing more than his kingdom. Every corner would soon belong to him and he would get to enjoy every singe nook and cranny. Chuckling deeply to himself he continued walking, enjoying the desolation and peace. Here he could simply exist for there was no one to bother him. He didn't have to chase of intruders or make sure his wolves were doing well. Here he was just Kharak and he could let all of his postures relax. He could also pray for guidance. He had no one to guide him here, no holy wolf who could make sure he followed the path of the gods. So he would have to pray for himself.
Gods above, guide me on the righteous path. I am eager to find my way to glory. Lead me to where I am meant to be. Make my people mighty and prosperous. Make me the greatest Rajah this world has ever seen.
He believed that they heard him each time he cried out for they looked on him in favor. It had been their guidance that allowed him to kill his father and reinstate the tournaments all as a celebration of their glory. They would give him a sign of his path. All he had to do was wait and that was exactly what he would do. Lowing his rump to the ground he sat there, eyes closed, waiting. The tickle of the breeze flowed against his lush fur, the soft sound of sand billowing across the rocks filled his ears. He supposed this was what peace was meant to feel like.
