Walking, you see a large tree, growing in the middle of the desert!  It's leaves are a light yellowish red, bleached by the sun.  The shade of the tree casts all around, and you see movement in the shadows.  A small creature rolls out, playing with a fallen leaf.  You watch it play a little while longer, until the creature notices you.

Its a Kimb tree.  It only grows here, in the Hyrrt Desert.  The creature stands up and shakes itself off, answering your unspoken question.  It grins up at you, a few teeth showing.  The creature gives a short bark of what you assume is laughter, and smiles again.  Greetings traveler, and welcome to my place.  I am Scakin, a ginnal from Allonia.  I am here to be guardian of any creature that comes to this desert, though my latest charges- he grins again - are fully grown now.
You catch a glimpse of something running around, and a small form comes racing up to you.  Meet Jacin. Scakin says wryly.  You grin at the small melcey pup who has come up to you.  He stands still, then starts bouncing around hyperly, and you begin to laugh.  "Hi!!! I'm Jacin!!! I'm a melcey pup!  Earth element."  His dark coat shimmers a bit as he grins at you, then goes and pounces on Scakin.  Another melcey pup peeks around them, then ducks her head back down. Jacin goes over and mumbles something to her, which makes her laugh slightly, and move towards you slowly. "Um... Hello. I'm Rosia... Fire element." She ducks back down, scampering off into the desert. The leaf lies forgotten as the two play a bit.


A white drigus moves up next to you, and it grins.  Its black mane and tail blow a bit in the slight desert breeze, and the blue eyes continue looking up at you.  Another creature moves up behind it, silently, not saying anything at all.  Scakin comes up, and joins the three of you.  This is Rocke, a dru'siti Drigus.  I am his caretaker, as I am to Jacin and the others.  Shon, he nods to the other creature, is also Rocke's caretaker.  He is more of a guardian.  He never speaks, sort of a... mute. You watch it, then turn back to Scakin.  He nods at you, and turns to watch you leave....
