The Khilioi

For almost ten thousand years the Khilioi have lived in their city beneath the remote Australian desert, undisturbed and unknown. A small aircraft flying overhead loses power and lands nearby.

Their time is finite. There is no option but escape. But what of the Scroll of the Ancestors, and the gold, and the blue brilliance of the Khilioi’s diamonds?
