a special enclosure under human protection each year scores of healthy adults are released into the wild to go where we can work the fact that the sager has not been thoroughly studied yet is simply because it's hard to catch this animal. only recently have researchers started taking an interest in the antelope but when so far they have only drawn policeman ery findings through the year. with two days to go before the grand buddhist festival in alice starr volunteers are preparing the temples in tyria for the rituals they are even entrusted with the honor of filling the boarders bowl of arms after the festival these twelve canonical images of the founder of put ism will be sent to small rural temples and comically. seventeen year old alina by a goes to an ordinary secular school in alice star whenever she has time to spare
