Salvation and a meeting (cade)

The golden sun beat down on Sarahi's face as she wandered through the pathless wilderness. A hawk cried above her head. It looked down to see the beautiful woman, her dark hair cascading down her back in silky curls. The bird glided closer and heard her sing softly to herself "sands of day swept away by the winds of the night. The snakes hide away as the chill comes. a lonely girl walks the desert night and day. Looking for salvation." Sarahi looked up and watched the hawk fly off, when her eyes landed on something beautiful. A golden city in the hills. Her weather beatened mind looked for an excuse. It's a mirage she thought No, mirages show water. This is real! Thinking of water she took a sip of river water from her flask. It would take her only a few hours to enter the walls of the city.

The barbarian noticed the tanned skin beauty from a distance as he drove his mule towards the same direction she was heading. Cade had spent the day hunting, the wagon had one deer and two rabbits with in its hold. The wagon was making more ground then she was walking so Cade knew he was going to have to suffer that awkward moment when you meet a stranger on the road alone. Him in his temperament probably would of stopped the wagon and had a go with the benshira. A road lay would of top the day off to his hunting trip but the barbarian learned a lesson a while back in assuming all women are weak. His hand rubbed his leg at the phantom pain the devil lady named Aello had scarred him with.

Aello was the reason why this day with this benshira he was going to rethink his approach. She was forty feet out, this was the time he will see if she would run or attack just out of pure fear. To avoid such a conflict Cade kept his hands free from his weapons and kept them tight on the reigns of his mule. It was up to her now to see where this encounter will go.

Sarahi noticed Cade the same moment he saw her.Life, HUMANS! she thought. She dashed forward and got down on her knees and hugged the mule. "Thank you thank you!" She kissed the mule's snout. Her voice was not as you would expect after years alone in the desert. It was as beautiful as the whispering wind dancing through the sand. And her eyes, her beautiful eyes. They were the color of an oasis' trees laced with the silver of fish is the river dancing and flashing. Her hair flowed down her back in waves rest down to he shins. She looked up at Cade.

The barbarian was a little taken back from the benshira's joyfulness over his muled wagon. She showed no fear of the driver as she looked deep into his svefran blue eyes as if relieved he came upon her. Maybe his luck was returning to him, he thought then shook the idea out of his head. He had been cursed by Ovek and will never trust in luck to ever play in his favor again. Even though he has been departed of his ring it was something he was going to take time in recovering from.

"Woman! you should not waste your kisses on such a ugly beast for they be more well suited and a ruggedly handsome fellow such as I" His deep toned myrian accented bellowed out in jest in breaking the ice with this stranger of the desert. " Are you in need of a ride?"

"yes thank you." she smiled as she hopped onto the wagon. "I apologize for the scene i made down there. You see for 4 years i have been traveling the desert and more recently this wilderness, first lost, then trying to find Sunberth. I have had barely any contact with the outside world until now. I have also lost my horse. If we can find him, I will be glad. Also I have been living of the wildlife i killed with my slingshot, stole from farms littered around, and a few families put me up for the night and pointed me in this direction. They knew nothing of the cities and were living of the land like myself. I have not had prepared food or water since i becam lost. i have been living of cactus juice and dirty river water. Do you have anything to drink?"

Cade looked upon the benshira woman with much interest. She seemed a bit scatter brained but that could be of exposure and lack of proper nutrients. The barbarian grabbed for his skin of water and passed it over to her. She mentioned a horse being lost and such a possession did not come by cheap, maybe there was a way to make a profit here.

"Take a drink of my water, we are close to sunberth now, you could see the smoke from the slag heap over the horizon." He pointed the unholy looking smoke cloud, this woman was going to be in for a shock for the smell will gag all natural senses of a human's body. He grabbed a chunk of bread from his day ration and also handed it to her.

" What happened to your horse, woman?...." He paused realizing he had not introduced himself. He may be barbaric but introductions were all about information gathering and the savage was not above such skill. " I am Cade by the way".

"I am Sarahi." she took the bread and water skin and drank deeply. She only to small bites of the bread so that her stomich would be able to handle it. "I was met by a group of rouges that kidnapped me. However when they became drunk i was able to slip away with my life and with my pride. There leader has taken my horse i wish to get him back. Maybe a little revenge couldn't hurt." she smilied wickedly.

Cade was intrigued by the girls story, not that he was heart felled for her disposition but he could always sense a propserous chance to earn some coin or atleast carve such a earning out of those that he thought worth his time. He needed more information before he would commit his sword and body to such a task, and revenge was a task best served by those that make a living on such action.

" Revenge is my business sweetheart" He informed, tapping the pommel of his sword " If you would like to come up with some kind of business arrangment, i can help you retrieve what is yours and divy out your revenge the best way I know how?"

"I need to use the only money i have to buy a house. If there is anything I can do for you..." She looked down. "I do anything to get Arctos back. My father gave him to me when i was 7. He was only a colt. I raised him, and taught him." Tears glistened in her eyes and they fell from her cheeks, silver diamonds, onto the dry dirt. Her horse was her only compainion for five years in the wilderness. 13 years she had him. Only to be stolen by bandits. This could be her only chance to get her best friend back. 13 years. She would do anything. Risk her life. He was the only family she had, and a horse at that. 13 years. She would do anything.
