Dragon hesitates to drop the item in her mouth, but she does. You pick it up. It is small, golden, and shiny. You look it over, and you are surprized Dragon didn't swallow it when it was in her mouth. Dragon barks at the piece and wags her tail. What do you think it is?

Hex is already turned and ready to run when you jump on his back. He races between two large mountains, and in front of you is a long, flat desert. You have seemed to have lost the Qitari herd. Do you want to go into the desert, go back, collect a few supplies, and then go into the desert, or not go into the desert at all?

"A strong and sturdy sylestia who can track and stalk things as well as being a good mount." you say to the woman.

She seems to think a bit, then brightens up. "I have just the thing! Do you like Lighira?"

"Yes." you say. "Good, because here is the perfect one for you!" the woman thrusts out her hand at a gray/blue Lighira. "His name is Arashi No Arashi."

"Perfect," you say as you hand the woman money. She opens the cage door, and pet Arashi. Arashi licks your hand, and come out of the cage. "Thank you and good bye!"

The woman waves as you leave the shelter. You pull out a map and compass, do you want to go north, west, east, or south?

I decide to head into the desert for a bit. It would be a good place for the Sun Stone to hidden..

You slid off of Hex's back and start walking. Hex is a little hesitant to go, but you tug on his lead rope until he starts walking behind you.
You walk all day, drinking most of your water. You stop for the night and it is very cold. The next morning, you and Hex stumble through the desert. Your hair is ragged and you feel very dirty. Suddenly, Hex stumbles over something and falls. He stays laying on his legs as you inspect what he stumbled on. You pick up a small, shiny, gold piece of something you dont know what. It is very small, a little bigger then Hex's eye. What do you think it is?

West please

Then you think of something. Do you want to get supplies or just go?

"Dragon I think you found some old gold coin flood some sort."

Dragon barks again and sits down. You notice it is not round, but has a few sharp edges. You put it in your pocket. You gaze out across the desert and see a forests edge, and a small light. It must be a village. Do you want to go to it, or pass it and go into the forest?

I start off towards the village.
