In Egypt...
A man wearing pure black clothing with a hooded cowl that is also black and black gloves, is walking across the desert. His face could not be seen from a distance because of the cowl, however if you get close enough you can see that he is a young man with white hair that reaches down to his ears, has no facial hair and has blue eyes.
After some time of him walking across the desert he finally arrived in a town, which looked like it was rich with water. He came up to a fountain that was full of cold fresh water. He stuck his hands into the water, lifted some water out of it and drank it. A guard came up to him and said, "Sir I am afraid that you can not do that." He glanced towards him, not showing his face to him and said, "Is there a problem for me to drink this water?" "Well, this water is the supply for the whole town, if you want some of it you need to purchase it for a vendor," said the guard. He looked away from the guard and said, "Fair enough," said the man. "I'm a traveler, so do you mind telling were the vendor is?" “Not a problem,” said the guard. The guard turned and pointed to store building near the south. “Thats the nearest vendor.” “Thank you,” said the man as he got up from the fountain and walked towards the the place the guard pointed to.
The man arrived at the place and entered the building. From the look of this place it was a bar style place. The man walked towards the the bar area and sat down by the counter. ‘What can I get for you stranger,” said the bartender. “Just a water for now,” said the man. The bartender got the water ready and handed it towards him. “Say stranger do you mind paying right away, I have had problems of people not paying before,” said the bartender. “Not a problem,” said the man as pulled some money out of his clothing and handy it towards the bartender. “Thank you very much stranger,” said the bartender as he left to deal with other customers. The man took some sips out of his water and remained sitting there.

A girl walked out of a door located to the right of the room. She wore a white cloth like robe that also covered her head and veiled her face. From what was shown her Skin was fair, her eyes Purple. She had pouches lined on a sash and a belt that was made out of light cloth the colour black. She looked around before passing the counter where the man sat to find her own spot to sit. She snapped her fingers and a man brought a pitcher to her with ice and water. With that he pulled out a white cloth placed it in front of her then set the glass atop of it. She nodded, when she did something like bells rang form under her hooded head. The man stood to her left his hands behind his back clenched together, feet planted firmly on the ground as if standing guard.

The man looked over to see what the bell sound came from. He say this person wearing mostly white sitting down with h=what seemed to be a body guard. "This person must be some kind of rich person or something like that," thought the man as he turned back and took another sip out of his water. the bartender came to the man and asked, "So stranger would you like anythnig else?" "Another water please,' said the man. The bartender got him a water ready and handed to him. The man handed him some more money and whispered, "So who is the person in white that came in recently?"

With a small smile hidden under her veil she looked over to the man then the Bartender. She gave a curt nod. The man beside her put a cup infront of the other man and poured some ice water into a glass. "Think you could use that... not alot of people are st... Brave enough to wear all black out here"

"Thanks," said the man as he took a sip of his water. He looked her and smiled, only his mouth could be sen at this time cause of his cowl. "I wouldn't call it bravery to wear all black in a desert, I would call it stuipidity. But I am used to the heat, so it is neither for my case." The man took another sip from his water. 'Well I better introduce myself, my name is DarkStar, and who may you be,' asked DarkStar.

Amusment shone in her eyes. "You read my 'correction' I am guessing there... And I am Sheeka, the Gypsy queens daughter." The man beside her went down on one knee and knelt before her. She patted his shoulder and he rose to his feet. She pointed to her eyes. "This eye colour is an inheritance for my family. only people in this area with this colour eyes usally came from royalty."

"Sheeka, interesting name you have," said DarkStar as he took another sip of his water. "So purple eye in this area means royalty, guess i should remeber this when i bump into someone with that eye colour." The man finished his drink and stood up. "Thank you miss Sheeka for the water, but I am off. I need to look around this town a couple of things," said DarkStar as he walked towards the exit.

DarkStar left he place and began to look for a blacksmith. He began to walk around town looknig for one wehn he noticed an anvil. "That must be the blacksmith," thought DarkStar as he walked to the building. DarkStar saw and old man at a forge. "Excuse me sir, do you have an portable weapon sharperner by chance," asked DarkStar. "Yes I do," said the old man ashe moved away from the forge and looked into some boxes. "Here it is, that will be 20 gold pieces." DarkStar pull out 20 gold pieces from his cowl and handed it to the old man. The old man handed the weapon sharperner to DarkStar. "Thanks for the business," said the old man. DarkStar pu the weapon sharperner in his cowl and left eh blacksmith.

Sheeka stood to her feet and straightened her robe before leaving not to long after DarkStar. Her guard followed close behind her watching her intensely as if she worrying more about her sneaking off then her being attacked. They continued on their way out of the towns entrance into the desert and started walking left of the town. They had a good 30 minute walk to wear ever it was they were going. The guard had a sack on his side which water flasks hung from. He opened it and slipped the jug of water inside of it where it was cushioned and protected from spilling.

DarkStar was walking around the town when he stopped and looked into the sky. he then kneeled down onto the ground and grabbed a handful of sand in his hand. He slowly pour the sand onto the ground and watched it moved in the wind. "A sandstorm is coming," thought DarStar. "Better get indoors soon." DarkStar began to look for an inn, but wasn't paying attention to wear he was going. Withen in seconds he bumped into someone. "Sorry about that," said DarkStar as he looked towards the person. He realized that it was Sheeka.

Sheeka nodded and moved aside. She looked back in the direction of the towns boreder. "Where you plan on going this way out of town?" She shivered slightly making her robe loosen and let her skin breath some. Her guard gave her a weird look but shrugged it off knowing the heat seemed to be building up.

"I was in search for an inn," said DarkStar. "Besides I have no intention of leaving town just yet, still have a couple of things to do." The wind started to pick up a bit. DarkStar looked away towards the town borders. "A sandstorm is coming. we better take cover inside of a building. Do you know where the Inn is," asked DarkStar as he looked back towards Sheeka.

DarkStar watched them leave. "Tsk, suffer in the sandstorm then," thought DarkStar as he saw the Inn. "Theres one." DarkStar walked towards the Inn and entered the place. A lady was behind the counter and asked, "Would you like a room?" "Yes I would like a room," said DarkStar as he got to the counter. "Your room will be 23, here our your keys. When you are ready to leave, drop your keys off. They payment is 25 dollars a stay," said the lady. DarkStar handed here 25 dollars and took the keys. DarkStar left the counter and went to his room. he opened the door and closed the door behind him. He reomoved his cowl and placed it on the bed. He walkedto the windwo and looked outside.

As the two walked the wind started to pick up. Sheeka looked up. "We'll make it." She said to the Guard. The wind was blowing against them hard but she walked as if it was no big deal, She was used to it. about a half hour later they reached their destination. It was the Gypsy camp. Tents were being brought down by the gypsies and wagons tied and weighed in place so they would not be destroyed in the storm. Not to far off was a concrete building. Sheeka and the guard walked to it and inside. It was her palace. It was smaller then some would expect when they heard the word palace. She followed a hall way to a set of stairs then went down them. This area was darker then the upstairs so her Guard lit up a latern and held it out. Sheeka turned left to her room and entered it. The guard handed her her lantern and stood outside her room as she shut the door. She looked around and took off her hood and veil. Her black hair fell into place as she shook it out. She looked young and a crown that shaped around her forehead into a point was upon her head. The crown was lined with bells and was silver in colour. Sheeka plopped into her bed and lied there looking up at the ceiling awaiting the storm. She heard as the winds build up outside. The storm had begun.

DarkStar continued to look outside as the sandstorm begun. He continued to look outside as he slighty focused a bit. Withen seconds small tornados started to form in the sandstorm. "All too easy," said DarkStar. The tornados vaniosh insantly. He began to make gaps in the sandstorm appear, where ni sand was for a period of time. A knock happened on his door and the gaps vanished. "Come in," said DarkStar as he contined to look outside. A lady came in with a plate of food and some water. "I thought you might be hungry and thirsty," said the lady. "Just set it on the bed," said DarkStar as he remained looking out the window. The lady placed it on the bed and looked at DarkStar. 'Is there something interesting out there," asked the lady. DarkStar looked towards the lady. "Not in the slight bit, just watching the sandstorm," said DarkStar. "I see, well you enjoy yourself," said te lady as she left the room and close the door behind her. DarKStar looked outside again, towards the fod and back outside. "I'll be back in a bit to have some fun," said DarkStar as walked to his bed and sat down beside his food. "Some chicken with sand, vegatables with sand and some water with sand, just lovely." DarkStar raised his hand over the food and all the sand on and in his food came off his food and began to float right under his hand. It began to form in a ball and DarkStar throught it away from his food, and he began to eat some of his food.

After some Short time, DarkStar finished eating and walked to the window. DarkStar looked outside and the sandstorm instantly stopped. DarkStar heard some plates crashing in the hall. "Let go of me you brutes," yelled the lady. "Come on I just wanna have some fun," yelled a man. "Someone help me," yelled the lady. "DarkStar sighed. "Guess its time to play hero...," thought DarkStar. DarkStar grabbed his cape, put it on, walked to his door and opened it. he looked down the hall to see five men surrounding the lady with a man on top of her. DarKStar walked down the hallway towards the ruckus. Some of the men turned around to see DarkStar. "Look at that boys, a hero has come to this poor damsel in distress," said a man in a mocking tone. "Go take of him." Two of the men started to walk towards DarkStar with their fist ready. DarkStar looked at them both and started to melt there brains inside of them. They fell to the ground instantly. DarkStar continued walking towards the men. "You two come with me, we take care of this unlike those two dimwits," said the man as all but the man that was on top of the woman came towards DarKStar. "Foolish men," said DarkStar. One came charging at DarkStar with his fist ready. A blade came out of DarkStars sleeve and DarkStar stabbed the man in the chest with it. DarkStar pulled the baled out of him and pointed towards another man. That man instantly caught on fire. The final man in the hallway fell down to his knees terrified. "Please spare me," said the man in a whimpering voice. DarkStar looked at the man and smiled. "Mercy is for the weak," said DarkStar as he stabbed the blade into his head. DarkStar removed his blade from the Man's head and sheathed it back in his sleeve. The last man stood up and held the lady with him, holding a blade to her throat. "Take another step closer and she dies,' yelled the final man. DarkStar looked right into the man's eyes. The man instantly became petrified in fear and let go of the lady. The lady ran away from the man. "Now die you foolish man," said DarkStar. the man moved the blade towards his heart and stabbed him self slowly into his heart. The man fell over on the ground and bleed to death. DarkStar looked towards the scared lady and through his keys towards her. "I'll be leaving now." DarkStar left the inn and entered the town.

Sheeka opened her eyes as she heard something outside of her walls. Standing up and jumping off her bed about 10 feet into the air she grabbed onto the ceilings ledge and peeked out of her window, It was still dark out but she seen fire from torches around. She heard more noises around and seen a shadowy darkness speed past her window. The stench from it was horrible. Covering her mouth and nose with one hand she put her feet up against the wall she was hanging from and did a back flip off to the floor. She landed on her hands and feet in a feral manner. She ran up to her door and opened it slower her guard was not there. She stepped out of her room turned down the hall and started running. She knew what was here and what it was after. "Crap" She whispered to herself and turned back ran into her room grabbed a purple glowing gem off her desk and slipped in into a pouch above her pelvis and ran back out of her room in the same direction. She turned left and followed a big turn to come to a dead end, her guard was standing there. He quickly passed her a dark purple silken cloak and covered her in it. Without words they looked at each other as if talking. With a nod she took his bag which she through over her head and shoulder letting it hand down like a hand bag to her hip. She put her hand on the wall in front of her and it opened then mouthed to her guard. "Take care of mom." She wiped a tear away and ran off down the opened as it closed behind her. She started following a pitch black path leading down into the earth.

DarKStar was outside the town looking at the desert area. "Why did those men have to come by and cause a ruckus," thought DarkStar. "Now I have to leave town early then expected." DarkStar sighed and walked into the desert area. It was a cool night in the desert. DarkStar stopped walking and looked up towards the starry sky. He sighed and looked back at the desert area and continue walking.

Sheeka walked for about 3 miles in this dark path before she started to feel around the walls blindly. She found a weak spot in the wall and pressed hard against it. Turning into another hall way she found a torch on the wall. She picked it up and the door behind her closed. She started taking the new path. Her family made these paths just to protect the keeper of the stone. Demons have been after this stone for years and each generation of her family have kept it safe, There are many paths to choose from in this deep underground passage its hard not to get lost, but all kin born from this family spend most their lift studying these pathways to memorize their own rout and escape from these demons.

DArkStar stopped right in his tracks and kneeled down to the ground. DarkStar drew a circle in the sand and began to look at it. A demonic face appeared in the and and vanished. "What are demons doing out here,' thought DarkStar. "There here for something but what?" DarkStar got up from the sand and continued to walk in the desert. "better kep an eye out for them," thought DarkStar.

She took a few more passages and put her torch out. She slid down the wall and let out a yawn. She then curled her kneed into her chest and hugged it there to await the next move.

"The presence of demons seem strong in this area, but I don't see any," thoguht DarkStar as he looked around. DarkStar snapped hsi fingers. "Thats it, maybe there under ground in some sort of under ground cavern." DarkStar Look at the ground and his right fist glowed red. He punched the ground and cause it to shake. The roof above Sheeka began to crack. DarkStar heard the cracking sound. "Ah ha I was right... wait if I just damged the ceiling in the underground cavern, doesn't that mean it will... SON OF A BITCH," said DArkSTAr as the ground below collapsed and he feel down towards the bottom in the underground tunnel system. Just as DarkStar was about to hit the bottom he began to levitate above it. He stopped levitating and landed on hsi feet. He didn't notice that Sheeka was near him. "Lets see now, underground cavern, check. Demons in sight, negative. Dammit you mean I fell in hear for nothing," said DarkStar.

She said as if clearing her throat with an annoyed tone.

DArkStar blinked his eye and looked down to Sheeka. DarkStar moved a bit away from her. "Sorry about that, I came down here to see the demons I felt the presence of, I did not expect to see any else down here," said DarkStar as he smiled. DarkStar stuck his left hand out towards her. "Here let me help you up, I must have knocked you dwon when i came through the roof."

She shook her head and stood up carfully on her own. "Yeah the demons are like 5 miles that way." She pointed to her left. "Now I need to go before they find me." She had a real nervous look on her face and turned to walk off into the tunnels.

She walked to another dead end quickly to get away from the hole in the wall and put her hand up against the weakest part of the wall pressing it in. The wall opened infront of them. Not to far above ground she heard a howl "Crap they got the scent!" She said under her breath and ran forward hoping DarkStar would follow. "Once we get there rats off our tails maybe I can explain abit more." She said her fist clenching. "They must have got the scent once you broke the ground through.
