Artix sat on the ground outside. It was hot and humid. Just how he liked it! He looked up at the sky. He looked right into the sun. He heard someone come up from behind. "Yes?"

Sky slowly walked through the Mist Village. A Village that his mother used to live in. Hopefully he could find someone who knew her. He needed a safe place to rest after three days of walking. Traveling was fun but definatly not easy.

Artix turns around. He sees Sky. "May i help you?"

"Yes please. Can you help me find the Kage of this village." Sky'd never met the kage before but he knew that he'd no his mother.

Artix looks up again. "Yes i know your mom, and if your looking for the kage, he's the one sweating for being out here for 10 hours straight, or me."

Sky turns his head in embaressment. "I'm sorry. I was wondering if you could help me find someplace to stay for a night or two, sir."

Well, you could stay at a hotel, motel, or my house. If you stay at a motel or hotel, ill pay for you.

"That wouldn't be right sir. I'll jsut stay at a hotel or motel, I can pay for myself."

Artix looks at Sky. "Ok, but i insist to pay for you. After all you are my best friends son right?"

"Oh, um, yes sir." He looks up.

"Well then here." Artix hands Sky enough money to pay for the motel or hotel, food, and alot of other things im too lazy to think of.

"Thanks alot. When I go to visit my home I'll tell my mom what you did."

"Wait. I need you to give your mom something for me."

Sky looks at Artix. "Um, yeah what is it?"

Artix takes out a bright blue stone. "I need you to give this to her. And you must not touch it with your bare hands." Artix wraps it in a cloth and hands it to sky.

"Okay." He looks at the stone. "Do you want me to tell my mother the same thing?"

"Actually i dont you to say anything. Only 6 people can touch that stone because it hold our deepest memories. If you were to touch it bad thing could happen to us. The 6 people are Me, Roxl, your mom, Saruka, Rumiko, and Lex. And trust me when i say Bad Things.

Sky shivers. "Understood."

Artix sighs. "Want anything to eat before you leave?"

"Um, sure, I guess."

Artix walks inside. "What do you want?"

"It doesn't really matter."

He comes back with ramen.

"Thanks."

"No problem."
