Pentember 13th - 38th entry (Sand Mandala)

Pentember 13th

-There was a fight in the bathhouse today between two Mahjarrat. As a result the Official's section has been closed until repairs can be made. They have already started clearing out the rubble, bringing in craftsmen to piece everything back together as fast as possible before whatever it is that is happening comes to pass.
No one will tell me what is about to happen, but it seems to be approaching fast. I have concerns about this whole mysterious something. What reassurance Palkeera has offered on the subject has been sparse and vague at best. My concern is mounting.

It must have something to do with the murmurs that I am hearing about a new territory being added to the Empire. It is a political move and I understand that the leader of the city is already making the journey here to Senntisten.
I think Azzanadra is waiting for the man to arrive before he makes any kind of proclamation to the people.

Palkeera is still treating the bruise on my head and I am still not allowed in the stables. I do not understand what is going on in the stables that I cannot go in there? It has been some time since I have been allowed to ride Curaw at all. I think I may ask my Mentor if I may ride her horse in the arena if she gets her for me.
Since she postponed all my extra studies, I have so much free time and have no idea how to fill it all. I can only spend so much time in the restricted section of the library before even Enakhra starts asking me questions.
Palkeera will not let me help the sand mandala that she has been working on with Jhallan. She never lets me help. She allows me to watch, but that is all. She is still worried that I will shuffle through the colored sand like I did when I was four, which was ten years ago. It has been ten years and she still doubts my control around sand.
I watched them finish their design before carefully destroying it.
