Subject: ~New Candidate~

~The rather short girl enters the Sands, a tattered cloak wrapped around her slim shoulders. Stone hues veiw the great Queen hesitantly. She was so big, and Ain was so small. What would such a large creature do to her? Would the gold do anything at all? Well, she could always stare, and staring was the worst thing she could do. The 14-turn old gil moves over the Sands and into a shaded spot, hoping to remain hidden from veiw. The only reason she was here was because her parents had kicked her out of the house...~

"And stay out!" her father called, wiping his hands on his dirt-stained pants.
"An' don't yew come back unless yew've got yerself a 'lizard-thingie!" her step-mother had added, noding her plump head. Ain had rolled her grey eyes, turning and calling back at her,
"They're DRAGONS!" Ain barely had time to duck the clay pot that had been thrown at her.
"Dun't you DARE talk ta me like that, child! In fact, dun't yew come back 'ere at all!" her step-mother's voice had snarled at her. Ain shrugged and slung her bag over her shoulder and headed on, looking back only to catch a last glimpse of her sister.

~Ain shuddered at the thought of her sister. Always the good little girl. The blonde beauty had attracted all the attention, making her look bad. There was nothing she could do about it now. The only thing she had left of home was the tattered cloak around her shoulders and a silver charm. It was a firelizard. Her real mother had made it for her. Her sister had the matching copy. Ain sighed and ran a clean hand through her black-grey hair, brushing it away from her face. It could be a long wait, but she knew her sister would turn up here, too.~
