Fair.

Aella used her ability to pull aside the rubble from the fallen arena until she came to what she was looking for, she saw a hand reaching out from beneath.

After moving more rubble she grabbed onto the hand and pulled Claire from the wreckage.

“Thanks.”

“No worries, you ok?”

“I’m fine. So did you win?”

“I don’t know about win… but I think… I found a way forward.”

“oh?”

“There’s still a chance for happiness, I’m going to go looking for it.”

“Can I come with you?”

Aella turned to Claire and smiled.

“I always like to travel with friends, that might even be happiness right there.”

“So,” Claire looked out across the desert at the collapsed bridge, “Where do we go looking first?”

“First off,” Aella pushed Claire off the rubble he was stood on and towards a part of the bridge that made a path down to the desert. “We are taking you to Koob, you left your parents pretty worried you know.”

“I guess I should see them, its not fair to let them worry.”

Aella and Claire set off as the sun started to drop off behind the horizon, both smiled.
