"Can you go, Tezka?" She asked.
"Well-"
"Please, Uncle Tezka. Just this once!" Filia and Frey joined their mother in her plea.

"You are free to come to the Blood Desert now, if you want. You'll be my honored guests."

"Can we, young sparrow?" Tezka asked, knowing that Salaark couldn't be far away.
