"No, but I have been to earth several times, didn't you say that this was earth?" Kye looked at her.

Hunter shook her head. "No, this is Ariema. It's supposed to be the Quest Planet or some bullshit like that."

Kye nodded in understanding. "That makes more sense," he said. "I like it out here though. At the moment, anyway. It has a peaceful sense to it."

"It does," Hunter admitted. She leaned against the tree, closing her eyes and taking in a gulp of cool, fresh air. The air here was certainly better, she had to admit.

"I noticed you looking at the mountains, have you ever been to them?" Kye asked shyly, trying not to sound like a creep.

Hunter shrugged. "I have, but that's a story for another time." She turned to look at him, the moon reflecting in her blue eyes. "So, where are you from?"

"Htrae," he searched the stars. "We must be a long way from it, normally even when most of the constellations are different I can pick out where it is."

"Is it like Earth?" She asked, tilting her head slightly.

He smiled at her, his dark purple eyes glinting. "Say earth backwards."

She grinned. "Clever. I mean, what's the technology like?"

"Well," he pulled out his dagger and showed it to her. It had silver edges, a gold stripe down the middle, and a red ribbon wrapped around the handle. "This is what the weaponry looks like, just there are also bows, and swords and other things. We're more like the mid evil time period of earth."

"Huh," she said. "That's kind of the way things are here, too." She sent him a small grin. "But the air is cleaner."

"Well, I usually spend my time down in the caves beneath a huge ancient forest," Kye explained, he looked back at the sky, a sort of sadness in his voice. "The air is pretty clean down there."

Hunter lay a hand on his arm for a brief second. "I get it. Maybe I can show you to a place like that while you're here."

Kye glanced down at her hand. "You don't have to, I was actually headed to the surface when I ended up here. I need a bit of surface time," there seemed to be a sad aura around Kye, yet he was still smiling. As if nothing was actually wrong.

She shrugged. "Suit yourself." She stood, stretching. "I should get to bed," she said. "You should too. We have a lot to do tomorrow." She headed down the tree, to the roof, through the window, into her room.

Kye stayed where he was, thinking back to the first time he'd ever entered a cave. He'd been dared by some "friends" to go down with them. But when he went in, they pushed him down a hole where he couldn't get out, and they left him. He wandered that cave for weeks, with very little food, before he found his way out. After that, he vowed never to get lost in a cave ever again. That is why he spent so much time in the caves.

Hunter gazed out the window, at the sky. She sighed. Helping strangers with quests was no fun, especially if they died. And then most of them forgot about her.

Kye waited a bit longer before climbing back into his room. He laid back on the bed trying to get some sleep, hoping tomorrow they would figure out why he was there.

Hunter awoke long before the sun rose. She packed supplies into a bag and waited for Kye, going over the plan in her head.

Kye hand't really slept. He always had this problem in new places. He waited until it was beginning to get light, before getting up, and collecting his things. Then he walked out of his room and down the stairs. His soft leather boots making no noise on the stairs.

Hunter stood leaning against the wall, her eyes closed, soaking in sunlight. She didn't notice him.

Kye unfortunately was a master at going unnoticed, and therefore always scared people when he spoke. "Morning," he mumbled. Giving a small smile.
