Taryn quick to step into the roll of second in command, organized the others while Raschen reconnoitered the interior of the structure. Lily gathered scattered bits of wood from the shattered desks.Taryn rolled a leg over in her hands. The dark wood was now parched but had once been a rich red of cherry wood. She shook her head. The finishes of wooden furniture was mapped out in the history books and she had never thought she would actually see it. Lily coaxed a fire into life and then heaped the wooden pieces in a pyramid. Soon, the glow of the fire beat back the gloom.<br/><br/>Jeb shook out his canteen but only  few grains of dust came out.<br/><br/>"Anyone have any water left?" Devlin asked.<br/><br/>Each person shook their head. Taryn sighed. She went to stand by Raschen and summoned her Talent. Immediately a rusty stream of water began to flow through the room. She hoped Raschen would purify it for the others. Evidently he did because she felt a disturbance of her surface, not once but six times. When her waters stilled, she reformed, glancing at her hand, seeing she was albino for now. She was getting used to it.<br/><br/>Jax brought some food that they had gathered along the way for Lily to fix. As he was talking to her, a bearded vultured, a Beastkin unfamiliar to any of them, appeared in a hole in the ceiling. The Hase's paw went to the throwing knife at his waist, but Taryn stilled him with a shake of her head.
