Ruan Chanchan took a look at the volcanic ash that the people of the Killer Whale Tribe had arranged for her, and she immediately started her work. The damp and salty air of the killer whale tribe was a constant enemy to the health of the young and the elderly. While the tribe was indeed fierce and prosperous, its stone dwellings were quite slick with condensation, and when the nights arrived, they brought a bone-deep chill that even their thick skin couldn't entirely repel.
She pointed to the centre of the square and then said to one of the totem warriors, "Can you dig a pit there? Don't make it too deep, just around one or two metres." The warriors were confused when they heard her request, but they still walked forward and dug a pit that Ruan Chanchan wanted them to dig. It did not take long, as it was not too deep, and they were done in a matter of seconds.
