From a distant, the man wandering through the desert was not an unusual sight. It occured quite regularly, since it was the fastest way to travel in Egypt. What made this man's journey across the desert so unusual was that it was not a man but small boy, only about 11 years old, braving the desert alone.
As the boy walked, he hummed an unknown tune, letting the hot sun beat down upon his face. He walked straight ahead with his eyes closed. Refusing to awknowledge the world around him. Suddenly his eyes opened and Cedric stopped in his tracks.
Without looking around Cedric said to unknown, "I know your there and I know that you want this." He held up his jewel just high enough that it could be seen without giving another a person a chance to take it. Continueing he said, "So why not quit this little charade and show yourself."

Tayu had been walking a good ways away form the boy. She had found it quite unusual that such a young boy would be traveling alone in the desert. At first she thought he had been lost. Then she thought, still thinking of why he could be here alone, He can't be lost...He doesn't seem to be scared or confused...Maybe-
Just as she had come to her conclussion, he had raised above him a small gem. Aha! She thought getting a bit excited. He must be here for the same reason as I! That...or...He is here for the opposite reason that I am...
She then heard him speak. "Young man." She said her voice calm but steady. "I am not here for your gem. You seem paranoid. You should calm yourself. I will only take it if you attack me." Her voice never lost its clam but stern tone.

(during this time he shows absolutely no emotion) Cedric never turned to face her. He instead lowered the gem back to its original location and said, "You speak to me as if you know nothing of the past." Turning to face the girl he slowly walked towards her. "The world is at war. We are fighting each day just to make it to the next. The sooner you learn this the easier life will be." The gravity around him grew even though his gem had still not been used. Standing only a couple feet from her he said, "I am calm."

Tayu smiled at the boy, "Thats nice. Now where are you from?" She asked trying to be nice to him. She was trying to act as if nothing was happening. She didn't want him to feel threatened, the last thing she wanted was to fight him. she had been walking all day and was a bit tired. "So...You look young. How old are you anyway?" She asked him taking a few slow steps towards him. She was carefull,for she had no idea how he would react to her, a complete stranger, walking to him. She just wanted him to be comfortable and ok with her.

Cedric stared up at her before he walked a couple of feet laid down in the hot sand. Cedric closed his eyes, saying "I am from a place where violence ran free and the death of many was rejoiced. As for my age I am far older than what my appearce shows." He then opens his eyes and sits up, "Ahh yes where are my manners. My name is Cedric. And I am the only ... (brief pause) actually forget about part. So tell me alittle bit about yourself."

Tayu walked over to him sitting down beside him. "Well....My name is Tayu...And I am pretty young. And sence thats about all you gave me, thats all your getting, sorry. Suely you understand though." She then laid down on her back, arms folded under her head. She closed her eyes so she wouldn't have to look up at the bright sun. "So....Are you good guy or not?" She asked him, her eyes still closed tightly. She wasn't going to say wether she was or not untill he did, she didn't want attacked. And to her he seemed tough.

Cedric sat for a moment on the ground pondering the question. After a small pause that seemed like minutes have gone by he finnally responds, saying, "Honestly, how do you define good andevil. Because isn't what evil wants considered good to them. In this since everyone is good. So I guess I am good." Cedric sighed as he figured out that hejust made absolutely no sense in his small speech. Again he turned to her and said " I'm nuetral but I may just be the only true good guy here."

she smiled thoughtfully. "well, I suppose you are right. So are you with Kinna or metcheal? To better define my question." She said and gave a light chuckle. she sat up and leaned back on her hands. "You are quite the interesting person to talk to Cedric." She leaned over and ruffled his hair.

Cedric looked up at Tayu with his emotionless face. "I used to be on good's side. Now I am not on anyside. I'm just here to stop history from repeating itself." Turing his head back to desert he continued on saying,"I take it that you're on the side of good."

Tayu smiled. "Well, yes. And your 'here to stop history form repeating itself.' What does that mean? Have you been reincarnated?" She asked him leaning forward and hugging her knees. This kid was odd. He was...different. Was that so bad? Being different? She was thinking different themore she was around this kid...'Or well, he said he wasn't a kid....' she thought.

As Cedric looked into the desert his eyes became unfocused. He said in a low soft tone, "Do you know where our powers come from? Do you not know of your their (the stones) past or has everyone forgotton about it?" Cedric burried his head in to his hands as he tried to not cry as he remembered about his fallen comrades and the war he fought in.

She thingyed her head. "The stones you mean?" She asked. "I know there was a war and stuff. But not the super details." She said her voice soft. She leaned in to him like she was about to here a secret. "why? What happened?" Her voice was almost to quiet to hear. She was on her hands and knees, and she had her ear in his face, waiting to hear some huge secret.

After Cedric lifted his head out of his hands he said in a soft tone, " One thousand years ago the world was at war, peace was only found in dreams at that time. As the legend says it was Good vs. Evil and whoever won would take claim to this world. At the end of the war both sides imprisioned their souls inside different gems."
Cedric took a sigh before he continued on, "I guess the legend gets the jist of it but what really occured was completely different. During the war both sides committed heroic and savage acts. Good committed evil and evil committed good. There was no difference in thier strategies. The group who won just happened to be called Good in the legend. The battle that took place was more like a slaughter. No mercy was given, there was to be no survivors. I can't blame evil for what they did. Instead of being killed off they sealed their souls into gems and started hiding them around the world. Good soon found out about this plan and started sealing people's souls towards the very end of the battle."
Cedric sighed again, as he looked back at the girl infront of him. "So innocent," he thought. Again he continued on, "And that brings the story to me. I was chosen by Good to stop the battle from happening again. Instead of sealing my soul in the gem, they just sealed my powers.They also sealed away my life and death, so I will never age or die from aging. I was cursed to survive and stop the war for eternity."

She sat back, her mouth slightly open. "Wow..." She was finally able to mutter. She took a deep breath trying to take in all she had heard. "T-Thats....wow...I had no idea...." She looked down. Was all she had known a lie? Was all this just...She couldn't properly, she was too hungry and tired...and confused. Did anyone but him know this? Was all this just a trick? No...it couldn't be....but what exactly was going on? She decided to think about that when she had settled down a bit. For now she just sat there.

Cedric stood up, and took a couple of steps forward. Turning around he said to Tayu, "I know it's alot to take in, and you probably feel like you've been lied to for a while. I'm sure they did it to protect you." After taking a long pause to let his words sink in he spoke up again saying, "Don't forget that your the only one who decided what you believe in." Cedric started walking away when all of a sudden his stomach growlled very loudly. He immediately checked his pockets only to find them empty. Turning around he walked back to Tayu and reached out his hand saying, "It seems that I'm hungry and a little sort on money. Would you care to go grab some food at the next town?"
