A cloaked figure walked the empty lands, gazing out across the horizon. There were buildings in the distance, standing in sharp relief against the sky turned red by the setting sun. A slight wind blew, dancing around the form and toying with it's hood. A stronger breeze threw it back, revealing feminine features and blood red hair.
Irritatedly, the girl reached up with tanned hands and put her hood back on. She held her cloak tighter against herself and took shelter behind the nearest boulder, shielding herself from the wind. It was getting cold out tonight.

Kruck smirked inside as he looked at his cards. He was playing poker in the local saloon; and he had 4 jacks and an ace. "I'll raise." placing a thoasand more into the pot.
"I fold" sighed one of the other players. Now it was Kruck and the infamous Ward left. Ward was known for never losing- and when he did it wasn't pretty.damn....this is not good
"I'll raise." Ward said in his gruff vioice. he put twop thoasand in the pot.
(ok just so people know i don't know a whole lot about poker, so im improvising u could say)
"Caaaards down!"
Kruck slowly put hios cards down. Ward looked and coughed; but it was easy to tell he'd lost. Ward put down 4 queens and a king.
"You cheater!" Ward exclaimed, pointing at kruck. He swung at the cloaked man with a hard right. But there was no one there to hit. Kruck had grabbed the money and ran.
Kruck ran out of town into the desert. He knew of a cave back here that no one could find him in. He ran through the darkness, only to hit something.
"Owww...."

The girl rummaged through a bag at her side, and was taking out a slice of homemade traveller's bread when she first became aware of pounding footsteps in the distance. Clumsily, she dropped the bland snack and withdrew her hands from her pack. She was trying to stand when someone or something collided with her.
"Ooft!" She fell to the ground, landing on her pack and tangling her self in her clothing. Not one for swiftness, it took her a while to get untangled from her cloak, stand up and draw her sword from when it hung on her side. She pointed it at the shadow near her, by now blushing furiously. She blurted out the first words that came to mind.
"What the hell?!"

(heh.)
Kruck looked around him to try and locate where the voice was coming from.
Oh ssnap. Is it them?
He finally saw the figure outlined in the moonlight. "Who are you?" He started catiously; he just hoped it wasn't one of his gambiling 'friends' or he was in big trouble.
