Arcturus smiled back. Somehow she felt safer with someone with power over wind. After all, rainstorms always came with wind. Somehow he knew that both water and wind were intimately connected. During rainy seasons Arcturus always imagine water and rain dancing with intricate steps in the great sky, which served as sort of ballroom. It was their own dance, but a danced they shared with the people below by pouring their blessing on the crops which were their livelihood. Arcturus was always grateful for water and wind.

"I am sure you can handle it," he said.

Sienna smiled "Thank you for your confidence" She said. "If we get to hot tomorrow, would you mind soaking us with some rain?" she chuckled.
 
"Acela!"

Arcturus was happy to see her, he had been busy and had not had time to thank her for using her light to help them find their way.

"I am so glad you are here with us too. Thank you for lighting up our way. You will be sorely needed to be sure."
 
"I really mean it, Acela, thank you."

And they began moving through the sand, which was still cool. Arcturus noted that the night was passing when he began to see a the outline of sand dunes a little ahead in a gray light. He looked back and could also see outline of trees in the distance behind them.

"This is going to be a hard journey. But I can't wait. I want to get to those caves as soon as possible. I don't know how long Destiny will hold. King Mizar said nothing about that."
 
Terran flew surrounded by a whirlwind of sand. She knew that if a sandstorm came up she would have to use all her power to make sure they got to the cave. She flew a little behind Arcturus, Sienna and Acela.
 
Arcturus felt a little rushed [ooc: ;)] because he was in a hurry to get to those caves and get the cure for Destiny, but he knew that they will have to take this journey slow or their horses would never make it there.

"I think we will be good. The desert journey should be difficult but we will be able to manage. In the dark caves however, we will have to be a lot more careful and stay on our guard."
 
Saphire had been riding for along time and stopped to give Flame a rest. After about half an hour they started out again. The next day shortly after noon she arrived back in her kingdom. Flame also knew where they were and started galloping twords the sea.
When they arrived in the village Spahire rode up to the castle and enterd through an open gate. She got off of Flame and went to a door that led into the castle. When she was inside she walked down the hallway untill she found a servant. She made a quick curtsey than said "I need to see King" she said. At first the servant wouldn't take her to see him "He is in a meeting with the men of the court and souldn't be disturbed" "Perfect" she said with a smile "I want to talk to all the men of the court as much as the king". The servant was confused but started leading her down the hallway.
As they were walking she asked him "Are all the men of the court the same men that served under the last king" "Yes, of course" he said.
Farther down the hallway her stopped infront of two large doors and knocked then turned to Saphire and asked "Who shall I say want's to talk to his majesty?" "Sap-" she stopped hersleff remembering her dream than said "Amathist". The servant looked shocked for a moment then went down on one knee and said in a shacky voice "Your highness". She put her hand on his shoulder then took his hand and pulled him up and said "Yes, I am the missing Princess. Though I did not know this till just yesterday and I won't be able to stay long" Then someone from inside the room said "What do you want" "Wait here" said he servant to Saphire. He went into the room and said "Your Majesty and Men of the court I give you Princess Amathist!" Saphire slowly walked into the room and made a small curtsey. All the men of the court stood up mouths hanging open in surprise. "She looks just like her mother" one of them said. Then all of them went down on one knee. "Rise" she said in a gentle voice. All of them rose from off there knee's and stood starring at her. After a few minutes of silance one of the men of the court turned to the "King" and said "You can leave now and I ask you, we all ask you to never come back" the fack king quickly ran out of the room and was never seen again in that kingdom.

"The whole desert landscape soon became visible as the sun began to rise up from the direction of the Ocean, The ocean of course was far away on their left. In all directions now all they could see was sand; their horses would alternate between a trot and a walk. When the sun was completely out and a little higher, they dismounted and walked, so as to give the horses some rest. Everyone was beginning to feel thirsty and started drinking from their water bags. Arcturus kept an eye out for any sign of water under the sand. With the help of Terran to move some of the dirt and sand away, he was sure he would be able to get enough of that underground water.

"I hope we can at least get close to those caves by nightfall," he said to no one in particular.
 
"I hope to get there before nightfall." Sienna said back, she patted Boleyn and gave her an apple. "Does anyone know if we are going the right way?" She said a little concerned.
 
OOC: I thought the cave was still far, but if you want to make it that we are almost there, we can but we haven't even used our powers in the desert.


IC:
After walking for a distance, Arcturus and his companions mounted their horses again and continued at a trot. Arcturus thought he could see a dark cloud in the distance:

"Looks like a storm cloud, but it's on the ground," thought Arcturus.

Of course, having lived near woods and farmland, Arcturus had never seen a duststorm before.
 
Sienna got a little frightend. She heard how dangerous these things could be, and with her powers she hoped she could stop it. "How far away is Arcturus?" She said
 
"It is not far," he answered to Sienna.
We will need everyone's power to help us through that dark mass. Wind and earth, that's what I see, and darkness. We would have to be able to see, Acela," he finished looking at Acela.
 
"Ok, then, lets go."

Terran began to work on maneuvering some of that sand away from the group.


OOC: Feel free to use your powers to get us through the sandstorm now.
