The Prophecy:

Chapter 3

"You hit me!" Guillermo yelled.

"Of course I did," yelled Faith, "what were you trying to imply by saying 'I look forward to future nights with you?'"

"That dose sound wrong; didn't it."

"Just a little."

"I swear I didn't mean it like that," Guillermo swore.

"Maybe I over acted, a bit."

"A bit," Guillermo muttered.

"OK, a lot," Faith said, "I am use to having my guard up all the time and …"

"You're sorry," Guillermo said.

"Yea," Faith spoke timidly.

"Well, I say we finish this in the morning because I'm about ready to cry and that is not very manly you know. So good night, good lookin."

"Umm, Night," Faith said and she then began on her usual routine of getting ready for bed. Before she went down she took out a gold heart shaped necklace that was has big as her palm from her pouch on her waist and tried like she dose every night to open it.

Guillermo watched Faiths struggle with a golden thing in her hand and finally asked, "What is that?"

"It's a locket my mother gave me before she died."

"I'm sorry."

"No, its ok," Faith said, "I am just trying to open it."

"Here let me try," Guillermo said holding his hand out for it. Faith was a little nervous to hand it over. She never even showed to her father when she was younger because her mother always said to keep it a secret, but she felt has if an unknown force was making her hand it to him.

When Guillermo hand the locket in his grasps the first thing he noticed was how heavy it was. He placed it from hand to hand trying to get a feel from it. There what something urging him to open it and when he had enough from just looking at it, he opened it.

Bright lights release from the locket and when the lights stopped the two looked in it. There where words written in a language unknown to them both but so familiar. There what also a kind of compass next to words and the arrow was pointing east of them.

"I thought compasses pointed north," Faith finally spoke.

"They do," Guillermo answered, "It looks like my journey is now yours has well."

"We should get some sleep," Faith said has she took the locket from Guillermo's' hand and closed it, "We have a long journey ahead of us," and they lied down and rested each with different thoughts.

Faith woke to a warm sun and the smell of something good cooking. At first she thought it was her mom cooking like when she was younger, but she then remembered her mothers been dead for years. She sat up to see the handsome man from the night before except now he was sporting a nice black eye.

"Does it hurt much," she spoke softly.

"Huh?" Guillermo was startled. "Good thing I wasn't staring at her this time," he thought to himself.

"Your eye."

"Oh, not to bad," he answered, "Well after we eat we can set off on our journey. Dose that sound good to you?"

"Sounds great."

They traveled for days at a time getting to know each other. They joked, played games and flirted (Well Guillermo flirted). However they each held back information about themselves. For one Guillermo never told Faith that he was a prince and Faith never told Guillermo why she was in the desert. They continued to follow the compass east until the direction told them to go south were they came across an abandoned Kingdome.
