Keyleth POV

Its been a day since we've left the tomb and got the first vestige, it was tough but we've manage to get the first one, all we need to do is figure where's the next vestige. Right now, me and YN are gathering some dry wood for the fire. We've decided to split up to gather wood fast until I see YN return with plenty of wood with him.

YN: This should be enough to keep us all warm through the night.

Keyleth: That's good, thanks for helping me by the way.

YN: Anytime.

Just then I felt the wind and it was getting my attention by calling me for some reason until YN interrupted me.

YN: Are you okay?

Keyleth: Oh um, yeah....hey, do you ever miss your home or even your family?

He sigh as we head back to the other with dry woods.

YN: (Admit.) Yeah...well, I've never actually had a home until I arrive Kaer Morhen along with my friends. My previous home was destroyed and I ran away until I fell and lost conscious. Then I woke up in a wagon with the rest of the orphans.

Keyleth: Oh...must've been hard to live through that.

YN: Yeah...what about you? You have families at your home right?

Keyleth: (Smiles.) My family and I are the Air Ashari. But my mother went to Pyrah for her Aramenté when I was young...

YN: Oh, I'm sorry.

Keyleth: Its fine, I think it's just...I miss my family.

YN: (Comforts.) Hey, maybe when this is over, we can always visit your home sometimes.

Keyleth: You and me?

YN: Yeah- (Blushes.) Oh uh, no- I mean all of us, you know, Vox Machina. Yeah, yeah.

I couldn't help but chuckle, he's a good person. While YN goes ahead, I suddenly heard the wind again, enough that I stop for a minute to hear it.

3rd POV

YN returns to the group while Vex is telling how it felt to come back alive while Vax and Percy are seeing up a shelter by the cave.

Vex: And then, whoosh, I was alive again. It really puts life into perspective, you know? I feel more grown, more mature.

Pike: Eh, you look more mature.

Vex: I'm going to take that as a compliment because of how mature I am.

YN: You still look the same to me. In a positive way, I guess.

Vex: Well Vax gets it. Right brother?

Vax: Sure. Whole new perspective.

Suddenly a stick fell and hit Percy head everyone saw Keyleth was distracted.

Pike: Uh, keyleth? Keyleth.

Keyleth woke up and accidentally drop the sticks as she gasp.

YN: You okay, Keyleth?

Keyleth: (Pick up the sticks.) Yeah. Its just, we're so close to Pyrah.

Percy: Is that where you're from?

Keyleth: No, I'm an Air Ashari. The Fire Ashari live there, guarding the rift to the Fire Plane. It was one of the last places my mom was seen alive on her Aramenté.

Her smile then turn to sad when she finished her sentence.

Pike: Oh, Keyleth. I'm so sorry. If we're close to Pyrah, maybe we should go.
