You slipped out of the Ministry and around to the court yard in front. On the steps of the Mosque of the Sacred Fountain a figure knelt, arms raised to the graying sky in supplication. As you drew nearer you found the figure somehow familiar; a female, but recognition was impossible in the faint morning light. Nearer still, you realized a shadow crawled across her form; a living swarm of black wasps. Two blinking eyes stared calmly in your direction. It was Adila.
She muttered in a strange language, or at least unintelligently. As she did, wasps crawled in and out of the corners of her mouth. Adila didn’t appear to notice. Gradually a buzzing arose, growing louder quickly. From it, a series of long monotonous syllables:
"Siiisters Three Vaalley Born Vaain Tiime Forgotten Sttand They Beeneath Eeyes Unblinking Geenerations Waiting Hiiding”
A pause. “Aaabdo”
As the sun rose, the swarm rose- pouring toward the fountain that was their home.
Adila slumped slightly and looked around, alarmed. “How did I get here?”

"Friend Waleed, I must confess that I am somewhat bewildered by the exchange I have just witnessed. What did you hope to learn here?" "I had hoped to find the location of these gates of Tadabbur, for I think that is where we must travel to, to find the source of Adila's curse." Waleed answered in reply. "But I am unsure now, I'm rather confused. It would be nice if we had a map with a big red X on it to go to, but it looks like we must investigate further if we are to solve this mystery. What are your thoughts on this matter Ya'qub, you are no simpleton by any means, your mental prowess is at least equal to mine, what do you think our next step should be?"

Adila slumped slightly and looked around, alarmed. “How did I get here?” "I would venture that Fate brought you here Adila." Waleed motioned for one of his girls to cover her in a cloak as Adila was sure too attract attention otherwise. "Abdo. Anyone know anything about it?" Waleed furrowed his brow and searched his mind for any revelance.
