“Oh my Archons..” Alhaitham muttered in frusturation as he held the back of his hand infront of his eyes to keep the sand from messing with his vision.

His Akasha Terminal was of no use too: it wouldn't give him the information he needed. Why was it so hard to get to Aaru Village? Just to see that stupid Merc..

“Alhaitham?..”

A voice spoke behind him. His shoulders tensed as he almost drew his sword, before seeing it was Candace.

“Candace, mind helping me to Aaru Village? I need to see Dehya, and I'm not familiar with this part of Sumeru.”

“Dehya's here with me right now, Alhaitham.” she spoke, “She'll be back any time now.”
