The desert land was a rough hard place to walk. The sun beating down in the land making everything cook under its powerful rays. It was hot even for the young half demon that walked across the bare wasteland. Small gusts of wind blew pass her face, but even the that couldn’t cool her little body down. The air was hot and only added more heat to her body every time it passed her.

“Too hot,” She said glaring out to the never ending earth ahead. It had been a while since she left Shisho behind to find her brother again. She wasn’t really sure how long, time seemed to go on forever being by herself with Arika.

“I don’t think we’ll ever find him. We haven’t even hear anything about him since we met Zorlo. Maybe it would be best to try and find him again,” Arika said flying lazily around Rika.

“Maybe. But first I think you should start telling me the truth.”

“What do you mean?” the winged elf asked really not knowing what she was talking about.

“You know. Tell me what happens when I black out Arika. Ever since what happen with Mister Shisho and that fight I’ve been trying wonder,” Rika said thinking about to that time and the fight with the boy.

“Nothing happen. You just fall down until you get back up,” her friend said lying. “Anyway, about the fencer again.”

“You’re lying Arika. Because I remember coming to after fighting the fencer and I won. I was also walking away from him and you told me I talked to him. Now tell me the truth,” she said, wanting real answer for once.

“Umm…” Arika thought for a bit, before she flew away from her friend. She knew the answer, but couldn’t tell her even if she wanted to. She was to afraid of her other half to tell the truth.

“Get back here!” Rika yelled dashing after her elf friend in the desert heat. She was a little faster than Arika and caught up to her quickly.

“Miss Rika!” a voice called out to her from nowhere. “Your Miss Rika Oni right?” he asked running up along side her. The voice shocked her, stopping her from chasing after her friend for a bit. There she stood next to a man that ran faster than she did. He was a little taller and much older then her. He pulled out letter from his pocket and handed to her. “Here.”

Rika took the note from him still staring at him. She was lost for word about everything. She wanted answers about how he knew her name, what she looked like and why he had a letter for her. At first she thought could be her brother, but that thought quickly when away when she opened it.
