Emiko frowned. "You're not a very nice person." She commented. She pulled a slab of beef jerky out of the bag at her waist and started chewing on it. At least it would keep her entertained for a while. She was so bored. She pulled out a little book and started reading. It would have been easier if she had been flying, since she was more used to that. But it was better than nothing. And her teacher, Daichi, would get angry at her if she hadn't done any studying at all.

When Emi started reading, Aiko was free to think. She imagined what Akito would do when he saw her, and what form he would be in. She chuckled a little. She loved seeing her best friend, but it would be empty without Takashi there. Akito was the life of the group always, but when Takashi was there, he was even worse. The two of them made her laugh all the time. Before she met them, that was something she never really did. Aiko was so lost in memories, she didn't notice the half-sunken cart in front of her. She tripped and when she tried to catch herself, her arms sunk into the sand shoving her face into it.

Emi didn't know that anything had happened until she was falling through the air. She managed to get her wings to work just well enough that she flipped over Aiko instead of landing on her. After she landed, she whipped around. "Are you okay?" She called.

Aiko stood up, spitting out sand and brushing herself off. She looked down at the cart. "Look." she pointed, "Camel tracks. They're still here. That means the people who left them can't be far away. Maybe they have something to help us." She took off down the tracks. It didn't take long for them to come up on the man. He looked about 24. "Hey!" she called. He stopped and turned his head. His face lit up and he got of his camel and ran to them. "Thank goodness someone is here! I'm terribly lost and I'm running out of supplies." "That's too bad, we were hoping you could help us out." Aiko responded. Tomonori Nakaura

Emi shook her head. "You could have asked." she reached into her bag and pulled out a container of pills. "Instant dinner!" She bounced. "They're actually really filling."

"Thanks, but I mean, we need transportation." Aiko turned to the man. "I noticed you had a cart back there. Think we could fix it somehow?" "I'm sorry. I don't think so. Some bandits came by and ripped a hole in it. Took the whole corner off one side!" "I bet I could fix it." I say, thinking it through. It's only small magic, maybe I can... The man laughs. "Good luck finding the pieces!" I roll my eyes. Is he blind to my sceptor? "I don't need to find them." They walked over to the cart. Aiko put her hands out towards the wreckage and blinding light flooded the area. When they all opened their eyes, the cart was completly fixed. But Aiko only got to see it if for a few seconds because everything went fuzzy and she fell over into the sand.

Emi squealed and ran over to Aiko when she fell over. "Aiko, Aiko! Are you okay?" She started to shake her violently. "Aiko! Speak to me!!! AIKO!!!" Emi's mind was reeling. She was horrible at thinking on the spot. She gave Tomonori a look that clearly called for help because she had no idea what to do.

Tomonori: Tomonori froze. "What do I do? What do I do?!" he thought frantically. "Quick! help me get her into the cart!" My camel will get us to the city of Thirr in just 2 days. which way were you headed?"

Emi nodded. "That's where we were headed anyways," she commented. She looked over. "I think I can float her over to the cart if you can help steer. I can't concentrate on both at once."

Tomonori and the girl helped her into the cart. "I forgot to ask your names." He smiled, "I'm Tomonori Nakaura."

Emi smiled. "It's very nice to meet you. I'm Emi, and that's Aiko." Emi looked over, worried for her new friend. "Do you think she'll be alright?" She asked, concerned.

"Hmmm...I don't know," he frowned, "I'm still not even sure what happened. I mean, she's clearly a sorcerer... but why did she pass out??" He got on his camel and Emiko got in the cart.

Emi shook her head. "Don't you know anything about magic?" She mused, more to herself. "One of the first rules of magic is that, if you use it, it starts to drain your energy." She thought that everybody knew that, but apparently not.

"I know that, but generally people don't pass out," Tomonori replied, turning around on his camel to face her. He shrugged, "We'll ask her when she wakes up."
. . .
"Let's set up camp here. It's too dark to travel. We should arrive tomorrow around noon." He pulled out a few blankets from a sack on his camel. Then he paused and winked, "As long as we get up early."

Emi just shrugged. "All it means is that she used a little too much power." She wasn't extremely worried anymore. If Aiko was going to die from magic overdose, she would have already.
. . .
Emi looked at him funny, totally not getting what he meant. Why was he winking at her? All it did was make him look funny. She looked around. "So where am I supposed to sleep?" She asked.
