Nix appeared in a sand-covered training area. The immediate pressure weighing down upon him nearly drove him to his knees.

A flash of red and he was enveloped in the strong arms of Shae, her soft lips kissing his face while her tears ran freely down her face. "I'm sorry Nix, I wanted to see you!"

She wore light training armor and her long red hair had been cut to her waist and then braided. Nix should have been surprised to see that she had wings, but for some reason, he wasn't.

"You gave me your word Shae, you can visit him for as long as he can stand on this plane." Nix recognized the face and the voice but didn't know the name.

Nix could already feel his legs shaking. Was the gravity different here? Or perhaps there was some trial necessary? He cupped Shae's face in his hands, she seemed thinner and her cheekbones a bit more pronounced. "Archon training?"
