A Midsummer Desert Walk
''There was no denying it; this place was hot. But the being standing at the gate in the middle of the Elonian Desert was beyond caring. For countless years he had stood here, waiting. A ghost, but still on this worldly plain for a purpose. Now it looked as though this purpose was to be fulfilled.

''He had been watching the young woman approach from the east for some time now. Dressed in the traditional raiments of a Canthan holy monk, and wielding a faightly glowing blue staff, she gave off a collected yet powerful aura. As she came closer, the ghost could see her long flowing brunette hair, and he could make out a crimson red cape that apparently bore the sign of a strong and powerful guild.

''When the woman and ghost were nearly face to face, the ghost broke into a smile. He held out a crystal in offering to the monk. She took it and the ghost turned around to open the gate.

''"Thank goodness you have arrived, Cho Xianghua! We have much to do if you are to..." He turned back around and stopped.

''The woman had not returned the smile, or even really acknowledged the presence of the ghost, but instead had taken the crystal and was now lazily tossing it up in the air repeatedly, as though testing its weight.

''"Erm... As I was saying..." The ghost seemed puzzled by the woman's complete lack of attention. "Uh... why have you come alone? It is madness to think that..."

''Cho looked the ghost in the eyes for the first time. "My friends came with me. They are awaiting my return in Elona Reach."

''"Then I would suggest you return for them." The ghost frowned. "Completing this part of Ascension is impossible without the help of a whole group of experienced..." But his voice faltered once more.

''The look the young monk gave was frightening. Cho tossed the crystal off to the side. "Screw you, ecto lover." She walked off through the gate, leaving an open-mouthed old hero behind.

''Later, she managed a smile as she looted the corpse of a dead minotaur. All in all, it hadn't been too bad, and there was even a novelty, as an amused Cho Xianghua examined a small vial of red dye she had found. It was time to quit for a while; she didn't think the next batch would hold much promise. Pockets jingling with gold, she took out her map and headed back to Kaineng Center.''

This page is obviously a work in progress. I'm very new to editing a wiki, I have done small amounts of work on another, much smaller wiki, but as you can see by my contributions I haven't done much worth mention here yet. Hopefully that will change. If I've done anything stupid/broke any etiquette rules, let me know on my talk page or something.

Oh yeah, stole the idea from Gem, as have a billion other people. Gem, I have no idea what the code I copy/pasted does, but it looks great. Thanks!
