[QUOTE="megamania, post: 760095, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 027 “Storm Front” Jocasta didn’t like what she saw. Clouds were devoloping to the west over the area known for massive city ruins. She had seen this once, years ago, with her father on a caravan run. At that time they took refuge in the Cresant Forest. High winds developed that lifted and shot out sand particles and debris. At high rates of speed, the sand could remove skin and muscle from a body within minutes. These clouds spoke of that power. Keela didn’t like having to rely on Jocasta’s knowledge of the desert. She hated to admit it, but this was only the third time outside of the sight of the city walls. She was horried to see a man torn apart by a cacti. A cacti! She was uncertain to believe Jocasta or not when told the very ground and rocks could kill a person also. Oh how she hated this freeman! Keela also heard her speaking to the guards during a break. This was a rescue attempt! She had friends scouting the gith that she feared were lost. How dare her! Only templars were allowed to use city resources to do such a thing. This freeman had to pay but how? If they survived this, the members of House of Blewes would be in good standing. Any accidents would be questioned by her superiors. She would have to wait to gain her revenge. This was okay however. Time allows for planning. Planning allows for understanding. Understanding allows for complete destruction. For now, she would study Jocasta Blewes and learn to understand her. Jocasta understood she irritated the templar. Why did the high templar place both in charge of such a small group? Was it to purposely pit them against each other? And why Keela? She had few survival skills for such a mission. “Enough of this….we need to find shelter..quickly. A sand storm is brewing to the west. It will be here within the hour.” Jocasta said aloud trying to drive her thoughts of negativity and judging away. One of guards asked for permission to speak to Jocasta while looking with a lowered head to Keela. “I have heard of a series of small ruins near here to the west. I know not how far away but it would be shelter.” Jocasta resides in the fact that this may be their only chance. “Thankyou Dewstan. I believe you may be right. It is our only chance.” Secretly she hopes the Gith are not there also. They know the lands better than her or Dewstan combined….. 20 minutes later they come to a rise in the sand. A hole is clearly visible on the top. Keela motions to it- “You do not expect me to crawl into that?” Thinking breifly of the thought with an embarrassing sense of eagerness…”No, the storms passing may bury the hole opening or worse- fill it with us within it. The ruins must be…… “Oh no………” [/QUOTE]
