Flashback
"Monto, Amid wait up," a girl shouted.
"Keep up Melony, the Maki family are the number one patrolling family of Alabasta and no heat is going to stop that," Amid shouted. Monto grinned as their sister ran after them. Maki Amid was twelve, Monto was ten, and Melony was eight.
"We're going to make Dad and the rest of the family proud," Amid laughed.
"Yea, so long as our ancestor desert scouts watches over us we cannot fall down from the heat," Monto laughed.
"Heat isn't our enemy, it is our friend," Amid laughed.
"Wait up guys, the heat isn't my friend," Melony yelled.
"What? it's not, well you two haven't been properly introduced yet have you," Amid joked.
"Stop that," Melony growled as her teeth became sharp.
"Stand right there," Amid ordered.
"Amid, don't make her do that," Monto yelled.
"She has to be introduced and that is a perfect spot for her to stand," Amid laughed. Monto looked unsure which freaked their sister out more.
"Do you want to be a true member of our family or not," Amid yelled scaring their sister into running to the spot.
"I'm here, I'm here, please don't yell," she whined as she began to sweat.
"What is happening?"
"Where you are standing is in an orange zone," Amid explained.
"In the desert everywhere is hot, so our family of desert scouts use our knowledge of where yellow zones might be in order to prevent over heating and dieing. You can move over to their and rest, it's a yellow zone."
"Any green zones," she asked as she sat where he asked?
"Not anywhere around here, I'm sure there's a shady spot that way, but chances are a sand beast is waiting their to eat a nearby traveler," Amid informed. They both nodded and started moving with their older brother again.
"Our family scouts for areas that are perfect for building a village at. Grandpa said it's the hardest job other than being the king," Amid went on.
"How is being a king harder," Melody yelled.
"The king gets blamed for everyone's problems and in a place like Alabasta there are a lot of problems," Amid replied.
"So who's the Maki families best friend," Amid shouted.
"The heat," they both shouted.
"We use our knowledge of hot zones and hotter zones to take down enemies, if we see pirates we lead them to a deathtrap and tell them there is treasure there," Amid shouted. "That's because?"
"We're the Maki family." The three of them laughed as they traveled through the desert.
"Don't step their," Amid shouted at Monto causing him to stumble in panic, but he caught himself. "He threw a rock in front of Monto and it sank through the sand.
"Quick sand, how are you so good at this," Melony gawked?
"Knowing the dangers of the desert is in our blood, you just have to unlock that family instinct," he laughed.
"No way, you just got special training from dad I bet," Monto yelled. Amid whistled to himself as he walked pass them.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Flashback over
Inv was walking through the desert thirstier than he has ever been in his life.
"I should have got a jug of water before leaving, why did you do this to me Maki," Inv whined. Inv looked over and saw a tree in the middle of the desert. He through a rock at it to see if it was a mirage and the rock bounced off. "Thank goodness," Inv laughed as he walked towards the tree.
"Hey kid where are you going," Maki yelled.
"Shut up Maki, I'm taking a break," Inv shouted.
"Green Zones are just as dangerous as red ones here," Maki yelled.
"I have no idea what your even saying, that's how tiered I am," Inv whined as he layed against the tree. The tree shook, but Inv was to tired to recognize it.
"Kid wake up, kid," Maki yelled as a giant worm came out of the desert and charged at him.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Flashback
"Melony are you OK," Monto shouted.
"I'm fine, my butt just hurts," Melony shouted. Melony had fallen in a dark cavern.
"Here, I'll lower a mirror," Amid shouted. He went through his bag until he found a mirror that was half his size. He then pulled out a rope and tide it to the mirror. "Do you see any precious stones or anything," Amid yelled as he used the light to scan the room.
"I see weird writing on the wall," Melony shouted back. "What do you think it means," she asked.
"Maybe one of the elders of a near by village can tell us, but we'll have to get permission from mom and dad first before doing an escort mission," Amid pointed out.
"Wait a minute," Melony shouted up as she looked at a wall. "I see some sort of jewel in the wall, I'm going to pull it out," she shouted. "Wait for a person that knows what their doing," Amid shouted.
"Melony no," Monto shouted as she pulled the gem out of the wall.
"See guys, no problem," she laughed. They were about to laugh two, but the cavern under them started to cave in.
"Get on the rope Melony," Monto shouted. The two of them grabbed it to support their sister and the mirror as she climbed up.
"Hurry," they both shouted.
"I'm her..." Melony slipped and fell off the rope and was consumed by the sand as she fell in the cavern.
"Melony," the two of them cried. Amid fell back in shock and Monto started digging with his hands.
"Amid, please help me dig," Monto shouted. "Amid please," he cried, but Amid stayed still as tears streamed down both of their faces.
"Melony is..." "Don't say it Amid," Monto yelled.
"Melony is..." *sop* "Please Amid don't," Monto whispered.
"Melony is dead," Amid cried as he fell to the ground. "It's all my fault for asking her to explore, I killed my baby sister..."
