She fought futily as the doctors made her settle back down. With a huff, she crossed her arms and glared at their retreating forms.
"They are far from your city fortress's protection. Besides," Senaka sighed as she returned her attention to the man at her bedside. "It is not an army that I fear lurks in those dunes."
Narrowing her eyes, Senaka looked off into space, trying to remember the vague details of her mission. Normally, she wouldn't do these things, mercernary type work, but this particular adventure had peaked her interest.
"It is a relic. A symbol of an age long dead, before your people made settlements this far north." Pursing her lips, Senaka wondered how much to reveal. Ace, she thought, was a rather unpredictable character.

(seems a little much considering the technological level the rest of the world is in, which is more like the 1800's. Ish. . . I'm not sure, I haven't really tried to pinpoint the time, but nucs are far too advanced fopr sure. >.<)
"Firstly, destroying the whole desert will not only kill many innocents, it will also be futile. The creature that guards this relic has a hard outer shell that can protect it from most anything. Legend says it is harder than diamond," she addressed firstly, knowing that destruction was not far from the gernals mind.
"The relic alone is harmless. It is only when it is in the hands of another that it can become a curse. Though the exact nature of the relic has been lost to time, we do know what it loks like." Leaning over, Senaka slowly pulled out a folded parchment from a pocket in the cloak that was piled in a chair beside the bed.
Unfolding it, the ancient parchment held only a feint image. The relic, if gazed upon at first looks like a circular pendant with graven shapes along its sides and an enscripted mask in the center. This is only the surface image, tilting it in the light reveals that the outer rims of the pendant is comprised of dead or decomposing bodes and the mask in the center is actually a skull of an unknown beast.
"This is the relic known as the Great Despair."

"Indeed. We are all mortal in the end, for all our grandeur ideas of eternity and immortality. The best weapons, or the best fortesses will all crumble away. But I hope that we can work together to make sure that when the end does arrive, when the gates to the abyss, or when the waves of war threaten to obliterate all we hold dear, we will be united against it," she said with a reverence that indicated that these words were not new to her.
Senaka caught the scent of his worry and looked around at the others who wandered the recovery ward. Making everyone panik would not help matters. Taking this into account she lowered her voice as she continued.
"That is why I said the key words "legend" and "harder". I do not know what the beasts hide is made of, but it can withstand even a high caliber Diamond lazer. I know this, because a few centuries ago there was a black market cache on merchandise crafted from its shed skin. Someone had found where the beast's last den was and brought back scores of its skin."
Shifting a little on the bed, Senaka thought about the days when she herself had obtained an hourglass with some of the beasts' hide embezzled on the outside. "It looked like fools gold," she murmured as she saw in her mind the trinket. Shaking her head, she sighed before continuing.
"But that will not be of any help. What will is to know who would want to take the Great Despair from its shrine, yes?"
(sorry, I know these are gettnig kinda long. I hope you don't mind. But you have to admit these are some pretty important details, right? ^'^)
