SIENNA’’s story –
or Shahrazad
as she is more commonly
known:
Aside from a lifetime of moments - 1001 nights to be exact, Sienna lives in her mind-life in the deserts of between, as sister companion to Magenta.
One has to pass many years on duty holding up the world.
She did not really mind the Sultan - aside from his
penchant for head-taking and
thunderous temper, he had treated her with courtesy.
And in the end he had let her go- she needed the heat of dunes and the
blistering vortex of sandstorms to catch just one grain. One grain in which she would gaze upon
another world.
Note:
It has been speculated by historians that
the tales of Shahrazad, by occupying the Abbasid Caliphate heralded the golden
age in which the ink of a scholar was deemed more holy than the blood of a
martyr. This included the establishment
of The House of Wisdom in Baghdad (one of the more permanent homes to The Jar).
