Portals & Paths: The Nine Gems
Chapter 2: SEEDA Orange light rolled over the wet green hills east of Ayutaya as the morning’s first rays snuck through the final remnants of a storm limping after the night. The new sun struck the peak of the King’s Tower where Phra Ram diligently edited and reedited the plans for the Great Gathering as he had done for the previous three fulmoons. Sweeping layered roofs with gold gilding and upturned corners reflected the light into beams crisscrossing the palace compound. Outside the walls, morning mist covering Kandala’s capital city coalesced into warm dewdrops, and the inhabitants slowly emerged from their cool slumber to the heat of the Yellow Lands’ shores.

Portals & Paths: The Nine Gems
Chapter 1: STORM The rain fell hard, in drops as large as mango nuts, pelting the deeply soaked woolen robes of five men as they moved with the storm. The hooded figures slithered through the sprouting shoots of rice as quickly as the tempest blew through the ancient wood, their bare feet barely sinking in the paddy’s soft mud. The man in lead turned his head to see the others following diligently in tow. A prominent nose caught dancing light from a disappearing moon as the dying rays ricocheted through thousands of crystal beads of water. The leader flicked a twisted finger toward the sky. There was a brief calm in the clamor as the group pressed on through the wet, swollen rice fields edging the wood.
