Strangers

[Shadow]

Walking in the mid of the desert, Shadow had forgotten to bring water with him. Altough not really an living organism, he still needed their requirments. Feeling dizzy and disorented, he feel towards the ground. Foot steps, foots steps were coming his way, 'maybe they have water,' he thought while passing out.

[aldertree]

*Ziegress stops before the unconscience man, he chuckles and pulls out a canteen and begins to slowly drizzle the water into the mans mouth*

[Shadow]

Slowly regaining consiousness, Shadow opened his eyes seeing a male figure standing above him. He felt the water drizzle into his mouth, quickly he grabbed the canteen and started to chug the water.

[aldertree]

*he sits back on his heels and chuckles lightly* now.. whats do wes have here? A traveler wanderings abouts the desert with nos foods or waters? tsk tsk...

[Shadow]

Shadow droped the canteen, looked around, and grabed a near by lizard. "I have food," he replied while taking a bite. "I can never run out of food, it's just that damb water that I always forget," while getting to his feet Shadow added, "and may I ask who you are?"

[aldertree]

Mine name is Ziegress...*he stands, and gives a quick bow* and, yous are in my.... territory, as it wheres. Yous are lucky that I happened by.

[Shadow]

"Your territory, this is a desert. What makes you say this is your territory, and what do you mean I'm lucky you happened by?"

[aldertree]

wells, youse see. Deserts are big. And this portion, I have claimed as mine own. Just likes someones claims part of a forests. *he grins* As fors youse being lucky... There are beasties, nots to mention how thirsties youse was.

[Shadow]

Grabbing his sword slightly Shadow asked, "What kind of beasts... I mean you saved me, so it is the right thing to do to help you rid of the one that threaten your village."

[aldertree]

village? oh no no.. I live on mine own. As for the beasties... there are several for youse if youse wish to hunt for them.*he raises his hands dramatically* Great sand beaties of all sorts! Dragons, sand worms. youse name it, it's been seen by mine own eyes. But come.. the sun it high, and those not bred into the heat usually do not last long. *he starts walking, heading east as far as you can tell*

[Shadow]

Shadow followed, keeping up with Ziegress.

[aldertree]

(sorry about the wait... lost internets for a few days... damn bills!)

He leads you to an unremarkable outcropping of rocks, chuckling to himself now and then and he scans the area about him.

"nows.... if youse ares welcomed into mine home... I most ask, that you leaves youse weapons near the doors.... "

[Shadow]

Shadow follow him in side, and as told he left his sword outside. But before entering the domain, he said a few words to put a protective veil over the sword. "So you got anything else besides those bitter lizerds?"

[aldertree]

his home, is a simple one roomed abode. Sparsly furnished, with sandstone walls, ceiling and floor.

"bitter beasties? oh yes, we's gots more thens just those. I have seen wtih mine own eyes youse many creatures. Theres is the cat peoples, Leonins I believe theys is called. Quite nasty when angry."

sets his canteen down in an alcove dug into the wall.

"ands, during the nights, a great beatie travels the area..."

[Shadow]

Shadow took a seat nearest to him and added, "So I'm close to the Leonins? Well I guess I'm not far from what I'm looking for then."
