Fox finished the building with the other by mid noon as he arched a brow as Rin came up patting him. "What is it that you want brother?" He said then knew as he saw the mans face. He shook his head and knew that his dear friend was about to fill him full of things about the wedding. " I still don't know why you want me to have a wife. I haven't been here for some time brother. Though I will take her." He said as they moved to the chiefs house. He knew that the man who had been like his father besides the king would want words. In all honestly he hopped the old man would help him figure out how to save Ana. He knew that the old man knew many things and he knew that Ana was not who she said she was too. Just as the man told him that he would be the son of a king soon enough and go to save the king and his people as well as the amulets. When he was told that he doubted the man. Though here he was now. The old man had forgot to tell him he would find a attraction to at lest one of the amulets and even love it. He also forget to warn about the price he had to pay to keep the people of his kingdom safe.

Rin smiled when as he brought Fox into his house. Sitting down in his seat he relaxed and thought ofer what Fox said. "I have my reasons for doing what I have, Fox, you know I always have a reason for doing everything." he said as he looked at him and smiled. Leaning back in his chair and looked at fox. "from how you have been looking while working I would dare say that you know what is going on with little Runa or should I say Ana. Her father dug her a hole that many people can never crawl out of. But there are ways and she needs someone at her side, she needs you." he said as he looked at him. "that amulet she has is very powerful and can take life when used. But it can give life in the right situation. Can you tell me what kind of situation that you would think that hte amulet would give life." Rin said as he looked at Fox.

Fox lessen to his dear old friend as he pondered on What he said. " how do I save her then? I know where the other amulets are and I have a feeling That is why she needs my skills not me. The other amulets where stolen from their masters each one taken to a place of evil And pairl. Just tell me how to save here run."

Rin sighed as he listened to him and nodded, "part of what you say is true, she does need your skill but she also needs you. For right now she is the only one standing in the way of the world falling apart. Since the other amulets have fallen into darkness she is the only light and her light is fading with each passing day. But before she fades she needs to get the other amulets, bt she isn't strong enough. So she needs you to help her to go into the evil to get the others. But going into the darkness has its own price to pay. Now I have said too much, this is all I can say to you now,." he said as he looked at Fox, "and you still didn't tell me, what kind of situation do you think the amulet would give life?" he asked as he looked at him.

Fox lessen to what Rin had to say. "So let me guess I am to use my skills and retrieve the others for her and she can make them light again? I am a thief and how do I explain this to the king? I am sorry father I decided to deceive you and go off on a adventure without your knowledge or blessing." He closed his eyes as he took in a breath then look up at him. "Where do I find the first amulet?" He said as he stopped walking and faced his old friend. " I have to save her."

Rin listened to him and leaned back in his chair slightly. "yes, but if she does return all to light she will die herself. Yet there is a amulet that has been stuck in the darkness longer then any other. It was lost to the darkness years ago and it was one that can do what no other can." he said as he looked at him. "she will get that amulet and will die getting it. But once you have it bring the amulet and her to me. I can do the rest from there." he said as he looked at him. "and the king will understand. If you have to do something to help save the people you care about he will understand." he said as he relaxed and then smiled at him. "the first amulet is in a place where no one can see it or touch it. It is not to far from here and you should be able to find it. But here it a warning, for each amulet you find and bring bac into the light out little Ana will have a short time to live. But once you find the one amulet that has been in the darkness the longest bring it to me and I will help from there." he said as he looked at him.

Stared at his old friend as he shook his head. "Great...no pressure Rin. So I better get started. How far is the first one? A place where no one can see it nor touch it." He said as he stood and pondered on where that could be. "You know I hate riddles Rin. " He couldn't think of any place near that would fit the description of the first riddle till he thought of the oasis. "The oasis. There is a cave at the bottom of the old oasis. The ancient ones had a city long before and that was whispered to be the opening. It would be a place where non could see or none could touch it by normal means at lest." He said as he looked to his friend.

"Am I right on my hunch?" He asked as he put his things down and gave a whistle as thunder appeared. He quickly gathered his thing from his saddle bag and put his gear on including his infomus mask. He quickly mounted the horse as he reached down and pulled Rin up on the back of the horse and gave the horse a kick in the side as they quickly lunged forward at high speed. He knew that Rin was going to object but since Rin was getting him in this mess he was coming along for the ride. "If it is going to steal more days of her life then we better get started shouldn't we." He said as he gazed over his eyes at his old friend.

Rin chuckled when he heard him and knew he hated riddles but he had to. He had to have as little help as possible. Smiling when he heard him say the oasis he relaxed back and nodded as he smiled at him. Though when he got up he expected him to just leave but then he pulled him up onto the horse with him. "you know I didn't want to come." he growled at him and stuck close since he was too old to fall off of a horse. "but your correct, it is the oasis." he said and then sighed. He nodded sadly, "your right but I am not sure how much a old man like me could be of use." he said as he looked at him.

Ana finally managed to get away form the girls and was hiding up on the roof of a building. She had seen a horse bolt out of there with what looked like Rin and fox. She wasn't sure if it was them but where ever they were going she hoped that he would be okay.

"You got me into this old man." Fox snorted as he grinned and looked behind him." Don't worry your son is on his way you know my brother wouldn't miss out on a adventure with either one of us. You are the only one who knows where they amulets are suppose to be. That is why you are hear and I know you still have tricks up your selves." He said as he guided his horse through the sands long forgotten to most as he mad his way to the oasis. He came to a stop as they reached it getting down and helping Rin down before walking to the edge of the water as he peered down into it. "Why do I feel like impending doom coming from this." He said as he shook his head and smiled as Rin's son and his best friend appeared about that time. "It took you long enough come on lets go save the world brother." He said as he pulled off his shirt so he wouldn't be weight down. He kept his knife close as he took in a deep breath and dove into the water knowing Rin was not going to tell him much more. He sunk to the bottom and there found the entrance the cave that was spoken of. He quickly swam through the opening and surfaced in a superdense cave. He looked around looking for any clue to the amulet. His eyes caught something that slightly glowed in the ceiling of cave. Rin's words came back to him. "Where none can see and can not touch." He shook his head as he chuckled. "Great....one down now how to get it out."

Rin laughed when he heard him and nodded, "yes your right about everything." he said and smiled once they got to the oasis. He then sighed once he was on the ground and looked at Fox, "I always liked traveling by foot better then horse." he said and then walked over to the edge with him. He then chuckled, "because darkness lies where no one sees or touches it." he said as he looked at him. He then watched him go and knew that he would get how to get hte amulet.

Ana was back at hte village still hiding out but more of the men had left. She wondered what was going on and a weird feeling came over her. It was odd and she knew she didn't like it

Fox looked around the cavern. He slowly made his way to the jagged rocks as he began to climb. Near the top he looked up as he looked for a way to get the amulet. A slight smile came to him as he pulled out his knife and quickly jumped as he dove the knife in the rock cursing as he sled a way down. He looked up as he climbed up more. He reached the peak of the cliffs. He climbed up and stared at the amulet it was only a few feet away. He got his nerve up as he shook his head knowing he was crazy for this but he had to try for Ana. He lunged of the cliff as he slammed his knife in the ceiling as he hung on to it high above the water. He reached out as he pulled the amulet from its home in the ceiling. He smiled as he looked at it though the smile ended suddenly as he felt a rumble. His eyes widen as he cursed as the knife slipped and dove into the water. He quickly swam from the exit. He surfaced and sat on the shore catching his breath as he threw the amulet at Rin. "Here..."

Rin smiled when he saw Fox come back to the surface and then was handed the amulet. Looking at Fox he patted his back, "you did a good job, only a couple more." he said as he smiled at him. Though while they cheered pain was racking threw Ana back at the village. She screamed as she curled up into a ball. She didn't know what was going on but it felt like the time her father made her use her amulet a lot and it took the years from her. THe girls form the village ran to where she was and tried to figure out what was going on. But they found all they could do for her was to take her inside as the pain ran threw her. Yet after a half a hour it stopped though she felt weak. More weak then she had been before and she wans't sure why. She hadn't used her power so why did it feel like she had a shorter time here then before.

Fox got up slowly as he looked at the old man." You know if I had known this was what you where training me for. I would have left long ago. Where to next you old man." He said in a playing tone as he looked at the small group that was gathering. "I guess I want be doing this alone after all he said looking at the others."

Rin smirked when he heard fox. "if I hadn't trained you like I did you would of never met that girl, the girl that your destined to be with." he said as he looked at him and smiled when he saw the group they had. "now then the next one is said to be in plain sight yet none has seen it." he said as he smiled at Fox and wondered if he would get this one. Back in the village Ana was in pain more then ever and could tell something was wrong yet didn't know what.

Fox turned as he heard the old man and arched a brow. "Really? This is what I get for a clue. Where is the village idiot when you need him. How can something be in plane sight but never be seen? " He rolled his eyes as he climbed up on his horse. He thought about it as he wondered what that riddle could mean. He looked around as he saw none of the others that had gathered where going to be of much help. Why couldn't he just have the location and figure out how to get it from there. That he could do all the stupid riddles where on his last nerve. He didn't understand it the amulet was not a feeling that he could understand that was something that was in plane sight but never saw how could the amulet be in plane sight but never been seen. "Is it in a well known landmark?" He asked hoping for some clue.

Rin chuckled when he heard Fox and shook his head. If he could tell he would but for now he had to just tell him these riddles. Though when he heard him he smiled and then nodded as he relaxed a little bit. "you are right about that, it is something that you ahve probably seen every day while your in the village and yet never really thought could harbor something." he said as he looked at him.

Fox looked at him not real impressed with the old man at this point. "What like the well? There isn't many places to hide things in the village and they are suppose to be in great places of evil remember. Though after this I am starting to consider you great evil and a pain in my side." He said as he held his hand out for the old man to help him get on.

Rin laughed when he heard Fox and slowly took his hand and got up onto the horse. Looking at fox he smiled, "you are very close to the answer. My question for you is if it was in the village, in a place you have seen and in a place of evil where would it be?" he said as he looekd at Fox. He was very close to the answer for the next one was at hte bottom of the well in a stone. Many have seen the stone yet no one really knew it. For no sun couch reach the amulet from there, not even on the sunniest days.

Fox let out a breath as he heard the man. He looked to the others as he shook his head." Apparently home we go." he said as he lead the way. Once in the village he walked to the well. He honestly wondered what unexpected horror would wait for him there. He stripped of his top garment as he heard the women and rolled his eyes. He really didn't care if they saw his chest. He was a little more worried what would bring if he found a stone at the bottom of the well. Would there be a ancient forgotten monster at the bottom that would come up and eat everyone would the water in the village be tainted or disappear. He really didn't want to do it but for Ana he had to try. He looked back to the old chife as he grabbed him and some rope as he walked to the edge of the well. He then picked the old man up as he readied himself. "You got me into this and we will work together to get us all out." He said knowing that Rin was going to fight him but the old man was going in the water with him. "You wouldn't bind your own son by brother to this fate but you would me where does this seem fair to you Rin? I remove a Amulet something happen to the place around it leaving the place in ruins. What is going to happen here how many are going to die for this one? And Ana how many can she honestly survive you people where stupid when you made these cursed things. I want the head of the damn person who thought making theses life sucking stones was the best idea. Now hold your breath."

Rin smiled as they headed back home and they were soon all looking at hte well. Though when he heard Fox he should of known and nodded, "you are my son and I wouldn't make you do anything on your own if you dont want to. So I will go with you." he said since there was no arguing. He then smiled at Fox, "dont worry, with this amulet nothing much will happen. It is why it was placed near the village. We needed a place where we knew that if someone was gathing would have to come and we would see it happen." he said as he heard him and then took a deep breath, ready to jump in.

Fox lessen and gave a nod as he dove into the well pulling Rin with him. He quickly let go as he sank further and further into the darkness. he had to admit he hadn't expected the well to be so deep. There looked to be no bottom to this well. The further he he went he found a quick current that drug him from the well and to where the great ones knew. When he woke from his black out he found himself in a cavern floating. He slowly made his way to the rocky land and climbed onto it as he was happy to be ride of the water he was no fish and didn't care for being surrounded by it. He laid there for what felt like hours as he slowly made his way to his feet. Where was he as he looked around at the man rock formations and different symbols about the cavern. Rin was right the stone was some where safe alright and not near the village. He looked about the cavern wondering what was so deadly about this place as he saw the remains about it. He slowly made his way further in keeping his eyes open.

The cave was well let for some strange reason as he soon found the amulet atop a large rock. He could tell the place was scared from the markings about it and held great power. Though he didn't like the vibe he felt from it. He knew that he shouldn't be there and the bodies out front didn't help rest his nerves as he stared at the rock. He didn't want to just try and step up and grab the amulet he had a strange supstion that would lead to his death. The blood stains in front of him gave it away. Though all his mind could think of was Ana and that it was for her he was doing it. With out hesitation he leaped onto one of the larger rocks next to him and climbed to the top of it. He closed his eyes as he did a running start and leaped into the air doign a frontwars flip above the amublt and grabbing it as he landed on the other rock behind the one wehre the amulet had been.

He grinned as he placed it away and frowned as the cavern began to quiver. "Great thank you RIn." He yelled out as the cavern fell around him. He looked up as he saw a light and a opening in the roof of the cave he quickly used all his skills and strength and escaped from the cavern. He sat in the middle of the desert as he took time to breath wondering how far he was from the village and if Rin made it up.
