The sun hung low in the sky, casting long black shadows in front of Valve as she walked forward slowly, the golden light edging her sharp features like thin ropes of flame. Her recent ventures to the desert and the prairie had been fruitful. She had a much better picture of where she and her allies stood, as well as any potential problems she may soon have to deal with. Her work was hardly finished however—it likely wouldn’t be for some time. She needed to make the trek to Tinuvel soon to see exactly what this Orkaan stallion was made of, and whether or not he could be properly managed.

But first, Valve needed to see Evaline. She never liked to be away from the dunes for too long. There were too many strangers lurking about, too many opportunities for her enemies to take advantage of her absence if they happened to notice it. It was too bad Nyazik had disappeared. She could have been useful.

None were more useful than her golden companion however, and when she spotted Evaline milling about in her favorite spot in the shade of the sparse trees of the oasis, Valve found herself feeling glad to see her again.

“Evaline,” she spoke warmly. “Good to see you, arkadaşım.”
