Allura, Crusader of the Zakharem faith, crouched down upon the desert sands. The sand was red, and churned like butter. A battle, no, a slaughter had taken place here. Remnants of once living beings scattered the field of red. Around them the wind billowed, blowing sand in every which direction.

Beneath her plate armor, the blonde woman sweated profusely. It caused her to feel as dirty and grimy as a street begger, and the sand that was somehow finding it's way through the cracks of her armor did not help how she felt at all. Whatever had happened here, there were trails of blood leading away from here.

"Shall we follow?" she looked up and asked, smirking behind her helm, for it was a rhetorical question. Of course they would follow.

	"It is uncomfortable now?" Her apprentice made little sense. This was the one who would assume and carry on her name after she fell in battle? Zakharum help them. "What is it?" she asked when she heard the 'hmm'. "We are not lost." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"More like...unsettling."

Ahayla had her reasons. She was sure Allura would find out eventually soon too. There was only so long that she would keep it from her sister.

"I was contemplating a bow..." She said to Allura, catching up with her stride eventually. Sometimes her sister walked faster because her legs were long that Ahayla would have to walk even faster to compensate.

"Are we lost?" Was Allura stating that to reassure her because Allura had lost the way...or? "No...we are head ed in the right direction, I believe." She answered immediately. For some reason, Ahayla had an amazing sense of direction.

	"A bath will be expensive..." Water was a precious commodity in a desert city. Noticing her apprentice take her helmet off, she was beginning to suspect that Ahayla lacked the stamina to become a Crusader. "Perhaps you should have bathed in the oasis?" she teased. "You are making this old woman look good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ahayla rolled her eyes slightly, already knowing her sister was going to try to find loop holes to make a point. She knew it wasn't just that to washing ones back. And que the inability to joke talk! "I know." Ahayla was grateful for the shade. Biting her bottom lip, she was glad her sister was tall enough to provide shade. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ahayla bit her bottom lip, luckily it wasn't cracked like Allura. "There is nothing but sand in the desert...and scorpions..." What else should she say? "Find a town near the woods to take a break in? Where it will not be too hot?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They are related to spiders..." Ahayla shrugged, though it wasn't something her sister had to know. They only thing that kept scorpions and spiders apart was their stinger. "Maybe the town will have a lake. We can fish too." She liked the idea of chilling somewhere nice. "ANd they probably don't have ice cubes for their baths..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
