Kai is awoken by the morning air, he opens his eyes and sits up. The morning seemed so fresh that the air was sweet. Kai stands up and goes to make a fire for cooking. Kesiah wakes when Kai moves away. She yawns and stretches out. She looks at Kai with a smile.
Kai: I have not the slightest of what to make for breakfast.
Kesiah gets up and looks around the cave, scanning for food.
Kesiah: There could be some Spooce around here somewhere.
Kai: Hmm...Well if there is any Spooce I will find it. Wait here.
He walks out of the cave. The desert is wet with a night of rain. The sky has no clouds and beside the cave rocks are spooce growing. Kai gathers some and walks back into the cave.
Kai: More then enough I say.
Kesiah walks back up to Kai and picks up some Spooce.
Kesiah: Will you eat some?
Kai: Yes, yes I will. But you may have as much as you want first.
Kesiah: I dont want to leave you hungry.
Kai: No it's fine. Please if you want some, have some, if you want all have all. I don't care, as long as you are fine.
Kesiah smiles at Kai. As much as they felt love for each other, the grueling fact that Kai, may die for love, loomed over them both like a crow hungry for flesh. Kai would always remember that smile, until the very end. Kesiah eats her Spooce.
Kesiah: if you're certain.
Kai walks outside the cave carrying his tomahawk. He practices basic defense and offense skills. Kesiah sits down in the cave and watches him. She divides some Spooce and leaves it for Kai. Out in a distance Kai notices a figure moving in a exhausted manner. Kai runs up to it. Kesiah sees Kai and runs out of the cave to follow him.
Kai: What is this? A Slig?
Kesiah stops next to Kai and looks at the Slig.
Kesiah: How did he get out here?
Jack: My...My names Ja....Jack. I was lost after Soulstorm Brewery was destroyed. I was attempting to escape, but it blew.
Kai: Interesting. You seek not to hurt us?
Jack: No I would'nt do anything to you.
Kai: We are heading to Necrum.
Kesiah: Yes.
She leans over and whispers to Kai.
Kesiah: Are you sure he's safe to be with?
Kai stares at the slig. He speaks to Kes telepathicaly for the first time. She is surprised at first then relaxes.
Kai: Yes. I see no need to worry.
Jack: What are you guys stareing at me like that for?
Kesiah looks at Kai, she nods.
Kai: Jack where are you heading?
Jack: I really dont care where I go anymore.
Kai: In that case you will come with us to Necrum.
Sligster: Why thank you.
Kesiah runs back in the cave to grab her and Kai's stuff. She gathers the Spooce and grabs Kai's cloak.
Kai: Come Kes, we have a long way to go.
Kai grabs his stuff from her and begins to walk. They hold eachother as they walk through the heat of the desert. Kes takes Kai's hand.
Kesiah: And we will go together love.
Kai: Come Jack, I hope the heat does'nt kill you.
The three walk until Kai sees something in the distance. He stops and looks ahead. The heat disfigures the creature.
Jack: What's wrong Kai? Is there something ahead?
Kai: Yes.
Kesiah: Can you pick what it is?
Kai: Yes. it's a Scrab. Only one, this is bad.
Kesiah: Do you think it will attack?
Kesiah watches Kai, and holds on to his hand.
Kai: Well, not if I can talk to it.
Kesiah: Talk to it? How?
Kai: Stay here.
Kai drops his stuff and gets the Scrabs attention.
Kesiah watches nervously. Jack arms himself and keeps his rifle on the Scrab. Kai walks up to the beast quietly and slowly. The Scarbs body faces Kai as it yells out a loud screech. Kai puts his hand out in front of him, and slowly reaches for the creatures snout. Kesiah watches in growing horror. Kai puts his hand gently on the creature, and clams it. The Scrab relaxes. Kai closes his eyes, and speaks to the beast. After what seemed to be awhile, Kai lets go of the creature. The Scrab nudges Kai gently.
Kesiah: Jack, Jack it's okay, you can put down your weapon, Kai's got everything under control see?
Jack: Wow.....
Kai stares at the Scrab, it turns around and trots away. Kai walks back to Kes and takes her hand.
Kai: It's okay let's go.
Kesiah: Are you alright?
Kai: Yes, i'm fine.
