Quin stretched in the early dusk. "Arya, you are part of a group of ninja, right? Aside from your village, i mean."

Arya looked up from where she was sitting, Flash the Accelgor sleeping next to her. "You mean Kaze, Saizo and the others? Yeah, it's just been a few months since they last contacted me." She sighed, "I wonder if I should just save my sister the trouble and die."

Quin shot her friend a look. "Don't talk like that, you are my only true friend here," she grabbed Arya's arm, "If you die, it will be by my side in a large battle. We swore that to each other the day we became friends."

Arya calmly yanked her arm out of Quin's grasp. "I remember that promise. sorry for speaking so roughly."

"It's okay, just stay alive," Quin said. She looked towards Espeon. "When we met we were just two young girls in a forest much like this. I was crying, fallen soldiers around me. They had thought they could sell me to the slave trade. If you hadn't shown up that day, I might have been lost in the madness that surrounded me."

Arya nodded. "I remember that day. Espeon was hiding in a bush, you had your fathers sword on your back. Tears were on your face and you kept on saying it wasn't your fault. I had seen the marks they had branded on themselves. That's why i went over to you; you seemed like you needed someone."

Quin smiled softly. "You risked your own life for me, Arya. I wonder why your village hates outsiders so badly. Could it be because of the slave trade?"

Arya nodded. "That's exactly why, Quin. They were scared of you."

Quin drew her knife. "You know why I'm searching... Why i had my father's blade, right?" Arya knew already, but shook her head no to be nice. "My father had died when I was still young, two or three, and all I had left was his blade. I never knew my mother, and Espeon is the only family I have known, until I met you. While Lux, the Radiant Blade, may be powerful, I'm no blades-man. That's why I'm searching for the Seal of Returning, a legendary seal with the ability to bring back the dead."

"But is that what Zycron would want?" Arya asked, "Would he want you to waste your life searching for an artifact that may not even exist?"

"I don't know," Quin said, "I just hope he won't be mad at me if I do bring him back."
