Maenya wandered across the sry rolling hills of sand and dust. She stepped over white bones bleached by the sun. She had enough water to survive, unlike the this poor creature. The sky was a forget-me-not blue, and there was no cloud to be seen. The sun beat mercilessly on her back, but she took no notice. She had only one reason for being here. To find her mothers charm necklace. She had been given it the night they were attaked and had lost it in the sand. maenya desperatly wanted to find it, that was only reason she was actually wisiting the place where her family died. There was very little hope of finding it. A metal chain, linked on were five charms, a sickle moon, a star, a key, a heart, and a tree. They all had special meanings and were a good protection against fear. For Maenya anyway.
As she walked over another hil of sand, the scene of death came. long with it came a flashback:
The screaming came, shatering the silence of the night. The sound that awoke her from her sleep. It ceased suddenly, and Maenya sat straight up. A dark figure knelt over the bed of her sister, its evil red eyes turned to her. She fumbled for her sword, unable to find it, she stood up an turned to run. A long thin hand grasped her wrist, and her hair pulling it backwards. The sharp edge of a knife glinted in the moonlight, red with blood. She felt it break the skin at her throat. Desperatly she though 'Brisinger', The man screamed and let go of the knife, his whole body up in flames. A shade stepped out of the shadows. The world went black.
Maenya came back to the world. She wasn't going to remember what happened her. She wasn't going to dwell on what happened. What done was done. She knelt down and began to search he hand s running through the sand. She would search untill she had to go back, or she was running out of water. Then a shadow passed over her head, the shadow of someone.
