Percival stops by Giza Plains on his way to Brass Castle. He encounters a strong gust of wind. Other than that, everything was normal.

[Kel Morgan]

Kel, Aro, and Gina enter the plains.

"Could you please stop for a second?" Gina says. "Some of us aren't used to such travel."

"You should get out more then." Aro says. "You weaken your body and spirit by not exercising and viewing the world."

"Please don't preach at me." Gina says. "I get enough of that from my father and how I don't follow or thank the Goddess enough."

"That's enough." Kel says. "We can rest but not for long. See those clouds? A strong storm is approaching."

"Cousin when did you learn to read the weather?" Aro asks.

"I never did. I just looked and saw what anyone could." Kel states. "The clouds are dark, heavy, and low. The wind is picking up and coming in this direction. Also the air here is heavy like right before a thunder storm. Thus the storm is coming this way."

"That is all part of weather reading as the Karayan see it." Aro says. "I hadn't noticed the air but if it got stronger I might have. You have more acute sense in this area. The tribes weather watcher doesn't have as acute senses and has been surprised. Have you always been able to do this?"

"Since I was a boy." Kel says. "We must leave now. The storm just got a boost from another wind. Run!"

Kel and party run but get caught by the storm halfway across the plains. The wind is howling. The rain pelts down like stones falling from a cliff. The thunder is deafening the lightning blinding.

"What are we to do?" Gina screams out during a lull.

"Keep running!" Kel screams back. They keep running until Gina falls.

"Ahhhh." Gina screams.

"Gina!" Kel runs to her and checks her over "Aro she twisted her ankle. Keep going I'll carry her." Kel picks up Gina and runs after Aro. They make it the rest of the way without mishap but are soaked. "Looks like the storm is heading for the castle. More soaking travel for us."

"Let's do it then." Aro screams "We must get to shelter and change or risk getting sick." They leave the plains running.

[Kel Morgan]

Kel and Party enter the sunny plains.

"Oh much nicer than our last visit." Gina says. "Not a cloud in the sky. Kel I noticed that you and Jorgan weren't stiff at all in your goodbye hug."

"He and I have come to an understanding." Kel says.

"I say the bear hug he planted on you." Aro says. "I was worried I would have to save our little Ke-Ke."

"Where did you hear that?!" Kel asks.

"I read lips." Aro says.

"Ke-Ke?" Gina smiles. "I like it."

"Please don't." Kel pleads. "Only Jorgan can call me that. It is part of our understanding and being like brothers again."

"Sorry, Kel." Aro says. "You calling him Jor as a child was much more mature."

"I'm sorry too." Gina sighs. "Kel I shouldn't have done that."

"It's okay." Kel smiles. "When Jorgan made me made I would call him Jo-Jo the gorgon."

"The rotten streak reappears." Aro says.

"He's not rotten." Gina smiles. "Just so close it is hard to call."

"Now Gi-Gi." Kel says.

"Y-You PROMISED to never call me that again." Gina screams.

"Maybe we should just continue with our journey." Aro suggests.

Gina smiles. "Yes Roo-roo, let us travel."

"Why did I get a pet name?" Aro asks.

Kel and Gina walk away laughing arm in arm. They head for the exit near the Lizard clan.

"Seriously!" Aro calls after them. "What did I do to get a pet name?"

Aro follows grumbling under his breath.
