"It's so hot." you say, struggling to keep up with Cindra.

The Desert temperature was a big shock to you, used to the more comfortable temperatures of the other places you visited.

"Look beyond that sand dune over there," Cindra said, pointing to a dune out in the distance. You could see heat waves passing on top of it, and groaned at the thought of walking that distance. "Haha, just look."

Looking out, you see two creatures playing in the sand, prancing lightly on the sand. One had brown markings on it, while the other had blue markings on it.

"Those cat-like creatures are called Panchi. They are very active, and need a lot of space since they love to explore and chase things. They are so curious about everything, and very loyal. They love to play with other creatures, as well as Jody." Cindra said.

"Jody ... ?" You say, confused. Maybe this was the person that lived in the Castle!

"Oh look over there!" Cindra said, already walking away.

Nuzzling each other, you see two wolf-like creatures. Their tails were big and full. Each had a marking on their hindquarter, it almost looked Egyptian, but you weren't sure.

"Those are Orimo dogs. They can be seen in the sand dunes, howling in the night." Cindra said, referring to the creatures a little bit away from her. They seemed to be comfortable in her presence, as did the other creatures, but unsure in yours. You were a little disappointed in that.

"They're adorable! But ... who was this Jody person you were talking about ...? Does she live in the castle?" you ask, trying to get some answers out of her.

"Ummhmm ... where to next?"
