Rin realized the the girl couldn't here her, so she shrugged ran into the desert. She suddenly felt the intensified sun rays beam down on her. She slowed down from the sand. She saw Nova's Caravan and decided to stop off there.
"Excuse me, may I stop here for the night?" she asked, kindly. The people looked at eachother, and finally nodded.
"Thank you," she thanked. She sat on a rock and took out her map. She traced her finger across it. She then started mumbling to herself.
"You might want to take this route," a man said.
Rin looked up and saw a man smiling at her. She started to blush and nodded.

That night as she slept, she dreamt of this odd looking bow. It looked like it was entangled with some black mass. It was quite creepy. It felt like it was calling to her, oddly. The calling got so loud it awoke her. She jolted up, and realized that it was twilight.
She still decided to leave. So she took off.
 
I was way too tired from my climbing through the Ossa Trail to realize that someone was trying ot talk to me. I just shrugged off the little noises and closed my eyes, shuffling through the desert. It seemed like some gigantic frying pan, like there was no escape. For fun I did some math problems, calculating about how long it would take to reach Triet, when I tripped. All the fine sands of Tiret began to irritate my skin, I noticed as I brished off the sands. I really didn't like tripping, because my skin was sensitive, and every little thing made it react. I started grumbling out loud as I reached my pack and took a drop or two of water and rubbed it on my forehead. I sighed and continued dredging along this wasteland, until I finally noticed a small speck on the horizon. Knowing geography well enough, I knew that I was close to Triet. But I decided to steer away from that, and head northwest, to Iselia instead. I knew that water was scarce in Triet, and they wouldn't take too lightly someone just taking their water. I assumed that the Iselia people would be much better to get along with. And in Iselia, I can stock up on water before I go to the Triet Ruins. I started deciding in my head whether or not to just go all the way to Iselia, or to go to the House of Salvation on the halfway mark there, or to rather not go to the northern part of the continent at all, when I began to get the weird sensation that someone was following me...
 
"I'm... fine..." I said as I got to my feet once more, and reached into the pack on my back. I pulled out a small staff that looked like it belonged to a toy. It was thin, and navy blue in colour, a golden orb on the top. With my left arm, the arm uninjured, I threw the tiny staff into the air, and felt it land in my hand again, only it was now the size of your average staff. "All I need is some energy and I should be able to heal myself..."

I glanced up at the sky soon after. Dark clouds were on the horizon, and the banging of thunder could be heard in the distance.
 
Rin finally saw the end of the desert.
"I hope it's not a mirage," she said to herself. But it was the end, she noticed a House of Salvation, and then knew she was going the right way.
She passed by it quickly, and arrived at Iselia. She slowed down and started to pant. She walked forward and saw a huge crowd huddled around the mayor.
"What should we do about this!"
"I say we destroy it!"
"Nah! Give it to some warrior who needs it!" they were shouting. Rin tried to see what was going on, but there were to many people in her way. Finally she shoved her way in.
On a platform, was a devilish looking scythe. It looked almost as if something was growing around it. The blade had one eye on it, that kept twitching. It was a disgusting thing.
"Hey! New comer! Do you know what this is?" the mayor asked. Rin shook her head.
"Mayor this is an elf!" cried one of the citizens, pointing to her ears, "She should know!"
"Excuse me, but what does being an elf have to do with knowing what this thing is?" she asked politley.
"It doesn't, but what ever. I guess we'll have to leave it alone," sighed the mayor. The crowd then broke up.
 
"I hate this!" Keiko cried crossly. Her feet was already going to die, actually, she was going to die.

She had managed to stumble out of the Ossa Trail just a few days ago, and now she was aimlessly meandering through the desert. She was in desperate need of water, as she accidentally forgot to fill in her flask before. She grunted. She was simply ordered to go to the Triet ruins, to find more about the incident occurring, but she had to be all daring and just had to climb up a mountain. Smart.

Rolling her eyes, she continued on walking, her vivid russet optics staring at the sky. Dark clouds were starting to form, and she could hear vague claps of thunder. "Great."

She spotted a girl, seemingly weakened for some reason, ahead. She touched the sheath of her sword before cautiosly walking towards her. "Hey, you," She called with a forced firm tone, "...let me come with you!"

Keiko mentally kicked herself, she knew she just lost her chance to get help. All because she was being her normal, always acting tough self. She hardly saw the girl--who appeared not so well to begin with--and now she was asking to come with her, how quaint. Of course she'd trust you know. Especially since you are so stinking blunt. Shaking her head, she glared at the girl and huffed quietly. "Or can I at least have water?"

She was being too demanding again, but she protested to believe that it was because she was afraid.
 
Reicheru looked back over her shoulder at the recovering girl and smirked ?You act tough, but deep down, your just another common human, you wont survive, I mean, come on, you even forgot to leave with a full flask of Water, in the desert!? She laughed loudly ?Just go home Kid, it?s not worth it?

She then looked to the other who had nearly challenged her earlier ?You coming?? She asked ?I?m heading to the ruins, we could make a good team, and what do you say?? She then looked off to the one who had interrupted the battle that had nearly occurred earlier ?You can escort, little miss back to Triet, you?re the one who suggested going back there anyway?

She lifted her arms and placed them behind her head ?Either way, I?m leaving now, some strange things are going down in the ruins and I aint going back to the run down city, I might as well find out what?s behind all strange goings on there, should be fun? She then turned on her heal and began to walk off towards the nearing ruins, with company or not, she was determined to find out what was going on.
 
Kid had been lost in a daze for a moment, he'd forgotten he'd even had his sword out. Quickly, he sheathes it and listens to the people talking around him. He hears the loud girl as she asks to come with them, then asks for water, all in a somewhat demanding tone. However, Kid is feeling generous today, but as he is aobut to toss her a flask of water, he hears Reicheru ask himif he wants to tag along.

He thinks for a second, there wasn't much else he could do anyway... so he shrugs and tosses one of his flasks at Keiko's feet, giving her a little wave before he runs after Reicheru, yelling "Hey, wait for me!"
 
"Well, I'm taking her back to Triet, for her to rest, and be careful! You won't want to bother Efreet..."
I grabbed the girl, and took her back to Triet.
I asked the innkeeper to take good care of her, and I payed him a lot. Then, I left for the Triet Ruins.
"I will study those ruins, and make sure that they don't wake Efreet up..."- I said, while leaving Triet.
 
Reicheru smirked as she heard her newly acquired companion yell for her to wait up. She did so and came to a halt next to a shattered rock which seemed to have been a victim of many monsters as she could see from the multiple scratch marks engraved in its ruins, but since when did monsters attack the un-living things. She shrugged at the pointless argument and gazed upon the approaching comrade.

?Glad you decided to join me? She stated, giving a genuine smile rather than her trademark smirk ?Two heads are better than one as they say, specially when dealing with monsters and ruins? She brought a thoughtful finger to her lips as if she were in deep thought ?You remind me of someone, but I cant quite place it, someone who was once close to me?

She shrugged ?But whatever, lets get a move on to the ruins before it gets to dark to see? She looked back at the two they had left behind and noted that they were still stood there, she found ?they had better not follow, they are to na?ve, they would never last against Monsters and that pitiful staff of hers would do next to no damage?

She snorted loudly and carried on in the direction of the ruins. Finally an adventure.
 
"..huh?" Sanami was getting so tired of this desert that she was about to start sleeping while walking, but a voice brought her back to her full awareness. She glanced back and noticed a girl who looked like she was about to die. She thought about whether to help this girl or not; to save a life, or let it dry up. C'mon, help this poor person! If you were her, you would expect the same thing, right? Her subconscious always told her the right thing, and, as always, she listenend to it. Sanami slowed down to a stop and waited for the girl to catch up. Sanami reached back to her canteen and handed it to the girl. She figued that the canteen wasn't THAT important, she could stand well dehydrated....at least, she HOPED so...

The girl happily gulped a few sips of the canteen then handed it back. The girl showed a smile of pure thanks, Sanami could see it on her face. Sanami wasn't one for taking thanks or compliments "ummm.." Sanami said. Jeez, is that all you can say?! Sanami thought in her head. She looked at the girl, and could tell that she wanted to say something, but was restraining herself. Sanami sighed and decided to ask, "Did you want to travel with me?.." The girl looked up and a smile spread across her face. I guess so, Sanami thought. "Well, where are you headed?" Sanami asked.
