Albert
Also who's your char now?
Mario
*Concord hovered just above the ground, flying through the desert and kicking up sand in its wake. Thin, pitch black wings sprouted from its back, and yet did not seem to be flapping to keep it off the ground. Rather, it seemed as if it was just floating. Zareth do be like that sometimes.*
Albert
*The wind howls and whistles through your wings In the long rollings steppes of the hombaxian dessert as you brisk by dunes age platue passing wild life cactuses, dead bodies... Wait what*?
Mario
*Concord paused. It stretched out its hand, and after a moment a large, fairly long mace with a large, rounded head appeared in its right hand. It looked around warily.*
Albert
*The non quite corpse person on the ground let out a single cough before drooling out into the sand whispering somthing not quite discernable*
Mario
*Its eyes widen, and it drops to the ground. It props the body up while searching for some water in its pack.*

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

*Despite its panicked motions, its voice is flat and calm.*
Albert
*You're responded by a rough sneeze as the collapsed andi is too exhausted as of right now to respond, however his eyes dart off to a small stone tablet carved with somthing just a few inches from his hand*
Mario
*Concord attempts to give the man some water, splashing it on his lips.*

"What's this? Do you want the stone?"
Albert
*He proceeds to lunge up at your water skin with surprising hidden strength practically sucking it down as he drinks before rolling onto his back and handing it over again empty and clearing his throat*

" T-thank you, and... Is this the part where you take my soul"?
Mario
*It chuckles lightly.*
"I am no angel of death, friend. No more than any other. I am merely a humble traveler, and I happened to come across you. Now shush. Drink."
Albert
*Andi proceeds to laugh in turn finishing off the water skin and slowly sitting upward after a long while*
" Ok sooo I'm still alive... Ok noted ughh"
*His eyes go wide in shock before gritting his teeth*
" Did you see an eagle pass by mame"?
Mario
"I've seen no such thing for quite some time."
Albert
*A golden white light flares up between the gaps of his exposed gills as he work into a dry rage before stopping"Disgusting bird stole my water and left me to die"...

" Heh and now I think I may have endangered you as well sadly"
Mario
"We will be fine. We are not far off from civilization."
Albert
" Yeah I am aware just not sure how much energy I have might just hinder you on the way. He stumbles to his unimprssive full height .

" But names first I guess I'm am Andikan"
Mario
"Hush now. Do not speak of such things. Regardless of your capabilities, I will not leave you. I am Concord."

*It allows its summoned weapon to disappear.*
"We should depart soon."
Albert
" He he thank the gods I was almost afraid you take my dramatic tone seriously"
*He proceeds to lean on you and huff*
Mario
*Concord supports his weight and begins to walk through the dunes.*
"Come on, now. We have a journey ahead of us."
Albert
*He follows layed upon you his legs nearly giving out a few times as you travel on through the desert expanse*

" All this to see my father's home land... Heh still quite beautiful I guess"
Mario
"Where might that be?"
Albert
" Just off the east coast of yiwa... So exactly the direction were heading in now"
*He face palms," I had to cross the desert, couldn't just swin the channel... Take the easy way around"

" Pffft me and my ideas"
Mario
"We all make mistakes, friend. Sometimes we make fatal ones."
