Astra, Aethir, and Simon rode their mules along the sands. They could not
follow the true pull of the unfinished medallion for that would take
them into the heart of the Waste. Though Astra had never heard of the
Calamari in her native lands both her experiences in this severe place
served to instruct her. Though Aethir and Simon had not been in this part
of the world in many long years, they knew enough to travel only along its
edges.
"Northwards we must go until..." The thought of the open sea thrilled Astra. She had not laid eyes on wave and mist since leaving her home to kill the northern Dragon. She wondered if the waters of the north were like the waters of the east. She also wondered how long it would take to get there, and where from there would the mystical medallion take them next. ~~...and what happened to the gypsy?~~ she thought. ~~it is as if this damnable waste has swallowed him up!~~ Without any hint of his covert presence - not even seeking Astra for more payment - Astra concluded that he either left this particular expedition, or was taken out by the goddess only knows what kind of beast.
