Sand slipped past her fingers as she looked at it closely with her red eyes inspecting it. She spend the whole night looking at the sand in this area. But she couldn't see any difference aside from no sight of the gem that created the monsters.

And there came the question, why there wasn't any gems in this place? She had some theories about that, those stones could have been picked up in the past beyond her knowlege. Young master said so himslef, that those pecular gems had use for dark mana users.

So it was only rational for her to came up with this theory, but it wasn't that easy finding just one gem even past the Great Dunes, it didn't show itself until night risen and the Sand Wrath came out to attack everything living in its sight.

She felt the warm sensation on her uncovered hand that was the onlt part of her body exposed for the praying eyes of others and for the sun that was rising from beyond the horizon to hit. It was her que to go back to the group waiting for her to wake them up.

Neferi closed her eyes with a guy that was still awake, well three out of the group didn't sleep and it seemed like they didn't need this sleep. Choi Han's balck eyes locked with the red ones of the guide as she finally showed herself after long hours.

After saying to them to rest easy she just left them and didn't show up until now. The Korean knew one thing, she was strong enough to easily beat Hilsman and even chellange Beacrox, but she was so secretive and in the same time she was like an open book telling them everything they needed to know.

"I recomend you to wake others up and get ready for departure." Neferi simply said as she started to go into the direction of beautiful but dealy Dunes. She didn't go beyond of the eyes of the group waiting for them to wake up and get ready.

"Were we will go now Neferi-nim?" Choi Han asked as he aproched the girl once more wearing the shall given by her wrongly.

Tsk.

She clicked her tounge as she reached to the shall to adjust it properly on the man."From this point you won;t get any rest at night, when we reached the end of Dunes, the night is not safe." Neferi warned the group as she turned to face them. She moved the fabric that previously covered her whole face to now cover only her mouth and nose. 

"What landskape we should prepare for?" Cale asked aproaching the girl who like with Choi Han, adjusted his shall. Her eyes scanned the group noticing that only two people wore it properly. Ron and Becrox only needed one lesson and already did it perfectly. So she only helped Rosalyn.

"Its just valleys, but the sand is tricky, people die in quicksand there, and the shifting sand often coveres them before they can escape." Neferi wasn't going to suger coat the desert that they now will be entering. It was dangerous for the outsiders. 

"So we need to follow your every step am I right?" Cale asked already knowing how to avoid dying, he just needed to walk just like this girl did. "Rosalyn can you cast the cooling spell on us?" he asked the red head mage.

"Of course, young master-nim! You also want it Neferi-nim?" The polite mage asked the girl who shook her head. 

"I don't like cold and the heat doesn't affect me as much as you." she explained as she waited for the group to end their preparations and when it was done she started to move.

The Great Dunes, the first obstacle for outsiders, natural traps that couldn't be detected by normal people. The sand was what protected people from beyond this obstacle, and could be only detected by those living there.

"Follow me." Neferi instructed as she moved like an expert between moving sand, her steps were light like lethers as she moved along the unseen path that only she could see. But sudenlly she stopped the group. "Here, those are the moving sand." she explained pointing her finger at the sand that looked like any other.

But it quickly changed as the sand lizard came out and stepped onto the pointed portion of th sand and it quickly wanished underground, the sand swallowing the animal faster thrn other might think. 

"Where does it lead? The sand." Cale the closest one to the girl asked as he analized the sand. It swallowed something so it meant that something was on the other side right?

"Its one way to hell." she said simply, it meant that there is no other side, there is only sand that swallows. "Everything couth dies and vanishes completly never knowing the peace. Its burried with hundreds others." she said and moved along the path.

The other side of the valley was even more beautiful then before, the sun that made the sand shine like dimonds and the endless mountains of it... Truly hte beauty of it land laid with the sand.

"What this land is called?" Cale asked as he could finally feel at easy since they no longer had any danger with the sand beneth their feet. 

"Nothing, its just a road to the other lands." this truly was just simple road nothing else, but it was dangerous since they already were past the safe land and from this point on at night she needed to protect and fight the enemy that other couldn't see. 

"So what is our destination?" Rosalyn aproched the talking two as she made sure that everyone had the cooling magic on them, well except Neferi since she refused it. 

"The Oasis Enclave." Neferi smiled at the simple name of the land. "Normally it would be month worth of walk but, i suppose you all don't have this much time." she added as she looked at the leador of the said group who nodded. Yes he indeed looked like someone who hated waisting time.

"How we will go there?" Raon asked smiling happily at the thought of some magic that could transsport them there, but the bubble of hope vanished as the girl looked to the side.

There was an animal that had big eyes innocent eyes and friendly face that looked like a cat but the size of it was much bigger and its buld was more like an horse thanks to its size. But the fur of the creature blended perfectly with the sand that it laid on.

"What is it?" The group looked at the small herd of the animals that just looked at them with the same curious eyes as they did. Cale's intrested was picked at the desert even more now, it had creatures that no one in his group seen... Truly misterious land...

"The Sunstrider's." Neferi introduced the race as she moved her hand to her mouth and put two of her fingers in whistling and one of the herd got up and walked slowly and lazly towards her purring as she put her hand onto its head petting it. 

"They are the fasted creatures in this land, they will cut our travel to two days." she explained as the animal lowered its head to her and their forheads touched. And as if they had telephaty bond it turned around and roared like lion calling for the five other from the herd to came towards the group. 

"Get on them and lets go." Neferi said getting on the one she called for first.
