Day 11 of MiqoMarch: Desert!  Went for another old prompt to finally add screenshots to properly.
Originally found Here: Wilt
The unrelenting sun of the First beat down on Karoiseka as she scoured the desert for her dear friend.  Alisaie was out here somewhere, and Karo was frantic to find her, to see her, to know she was hale.  Amh Araeng’s sand was creeping into her boots as she rounded the corner of one of the towering ruins around her.  Wilting under the oppressive heat, she sipped from the waterskin she had brought along.
Hearing a noise from above, her heart skipped a beat as she saw the Red Mage drop down from the top of the building in the pursuit of a sin-eater.  Dispatching it quickly, her friend left her back to her.  Karo knew she had been spotted, as their eyes had met on her jump down, but Alisaie had yet to turn.  Karo’s heart fell.  Was she truly so disappointed that the Warrior of Light had not arrived sooner?  Was she not glad to see her friend after so very long?
Doubt disappeared, and Karo’s heart flourished as Alisaie finally turned, and after a moment fell into each other’s arms holding tight.
“I thought I had lost you. I promise I didn’t leave you,” Karo choked back a sob, trying to stay strong in the hot sunlight, the pain of a scant few weeks ago still raw in her heart.  She knew it had been much longer for Alisaie, who had seemed to come to terms with it until Karo had pulled her into a tight embrace.  They clung together, not letting go for quite some time, finally satisfied the other wasn’t going to vanish.
