Wild flowers swaying in the meadow. A man in white coat is gently brushing the young girls hair as she was taking a nap on his lap.

The guy uttered words to her and she opened her eyes... Then a strong breeze passes by, blowing off the dried leaves and grass. In an instant, the guy disappeared. She stood up and saw the guy walking towards the horizon. She reached out, then he look back and uttered another word.

"Master..." she called.

The woman from the cave opened her eyes and saw a boy brushing her hair.

"You finally awake, big sis!" the boy spoke.

"Who are you?" she rose up and look at the surrounding.

This time she was in an oasis. It was hot but it was refreshing.

"Where am I? What is this place?" a lot of things she didn't know.

The boy gave her a coconut husk containing a homemade soup.

"Here, have some. Food is a best medicine and it will help fill your stomach a bit." he sat down next to her.

She took a sip from the bowl.

"It's delicious..."

"Thanks! I made that! The old lady from the last city I was, taught me how to cook that" he smiled.

"My name is Job, an orphan and a traveler. What's your name?" he faced the lady.

"My name? My name..." she couldn't remember anything.

" I..." She tried to remember her dreams...

Recalling what the man had spoken as he looked back into the girl.

"Treya..." She whispered.

"Mhmm?" Job tries to hear what she says.

"Treya... that's my name." although not sure if it was her real name or not.

"Treya... Such a nice name." the boy laid his back on the ground.

"You think so?" she smiled.
"Treya..." she repeated.

"What happened to you? I found you lying in the dessert few miles away from the cave, wounded and unconscious." he ask.

"I don't remember... What is this place?" she kept looking around.

"An oasis. The dessert part of the Ashwan Kingdom. A bit of a kilometer away from here though"

Suddenly, a strange looking all white furry fox and rabbit-like looking creature with a red gem on its forehead jumped out from the tree.

"Pinyoooo~" says the little creature.

"Hi there, little fella?" Job took the creature in his both hands while it tries to lick him.

Treya seemed to be curious about the little creature.

"What is that? Is that creature yours?"

"No, it just followed me as I was travelling in the dessert." the creature leap out from Job's hands and tried to get near Treya but she took the small knife next to her pocket in defense.

"Pinyoooo~#~~!"

The creature got scared and went back to Job. Job tried to protect the creature as well.

"Hey! hey! He's not a bad creature! He's harmless!" Job defended the creature.

"Pinyoo~<3" nod the creature.

"He isn't?" she lowered her knife.

"Yes! How can a such adorable creature like this be dangerous?" Job continue petting him.
