Jade ran out to the stable as fast as her legs could carry her with guards hot on her heels. She ran though the stable doors, and spotted a black stallion already staled. In a flash, she jumped onto its back, and gave him a swift kick fled into the night.
The streets of Urû'baen were nearly empty at the time of night soon the gates would close, and she would be trapped. The steed was pushed to its limits as Jade saw the ten horsemen gaining on her. They shouted for the gates to close, but they were to late Jade was out the gates. She could hear the shouts of anger to get the gates back open, but Jade wasted no time making her escape to her home in the Hadarac desert. She was a fast rider, and by sunrise she reached the soft sands of the desert. The horse was near exhaustion about ready to drop. Jade dismounted, and petted his nose. "You have served me well my friend. "He tousled his gray mane, still breathing heavy. "I will walk so you can get much needed rest my swift Storm." If she pushed him to hard he would overheat and die out on this harsh land. Jade traveled all day only stopping at a hidden well to get Storm and her some water.
When the sun was about to set, Jade found what she was looking for. A set of caves that was a hide out and a rest stop to many people that made their home in this wasteland. The entrance was protected by a removable stone, most would past right by thinking that it was just a rock. The caves went deep underground complete with a natural well. Little cracks in the walls and ceiling aloud enough venation for a fire to be made inside; even firewood and brush was stacked to the far side. It was an oasis big enough to hold seven people comfortably for about a week.
Once she and Storm were safely inside, Jade built a small fire and replaced the stone on the entrance. After finding some old animal skins someone had left behind, she made a bed by the fire. Then made sure Storm was settled for the night with all the water he could need. Finally, she belted the sword and bag from her hip before lying down and falling asleep exhausted from her long journey.
A rattling sound by her head awaked Jade. She sat up a stoked the ambers of the almost dead fire to see what was going on. There in the dim firelight, her bag on her belt was shaking violently. She reached out her hand to untie the sack from the belt when a tiny claw ripped out and shredded the bag exposing a small red dragon. The firelight danced on its tiny scales two crimson eyes fixed on her while its whip like wagged back and forth. It let out a loud squeak, folded its wings and took two steps toward her. In response she reached to stroke its long neck, but as soon as her fingers brushed the scales pain shot up her arm. It was like a liquid fire was traveling up her veins she laid back in pain blacking out.
She reviled a few moments later, with the baby dragon on her chest licking her face. Jade jumped afraid the pain would return when it didn't she sat up and took the dragon in her arms and stroked its neck. That's when she noticed the new rough spot of white skin on her hand. She looked at her hand then back at the dragon she had no doubt that the two events were linked, but did not know their meaning. "Well, my winged, friend lets get some sleep." Jade cooed to the dragon as she laid him beside her bed where it curled and went to sleep by her head.
