Somewhere in the desert of the dead.
"Hello Mr. Froggy" Kali said to a desert frog she found hiding in shade of cactus. "How are you? Will you be my friend?" She said with a smile and a tilt of her head. The frog croaked at her. Kali picked him up and jumped up and down in glee "Yay". The frog cowarded in her hands and closed his eyes. Kali looked down at the terrified frog and said "Oh I'm so sorry Mr. Frog. I got carried away with having a new friend. Would you like some water?" The frog open his eyes and looked up at her. Kali smiled and reached one hand into a pocket and pulled out a mister and spray the frog who cuddled with her hand and enjoyed the moisture.
Kali began walking through the desert again while talking to her new friend. "I'm so happy to have someone to come with on my journ..." Kali's head drooped alittle forward as she began to snore. The frog looked at the girl very curiously. Suddenly a loud yawn came from below as Shin rose out of Kali's shadow. "Seriously this girl I can't see why she stays out in the sun during hottest part of day" Shin said. The frog looked at Shin and peed in Kali's hand. "Oh you filthy creature" Shin said as picking up the frog and holding it while he picked a cleaning wipe out of a box Kali had in her pack. Shin sighed "When will this girl learn?" Shin put the frog back in Kali's hand "Well I guess it is a good thing Kali has something to talk to atleast". Shin looks around at his desert surroundings "Ahh the Desert of the Dead. I haven't been here in a long time" Shin said to no one in particular.
After keeping on look out for half a hour Shin said "Well little frog it is your turn to watch over Kali". And with that Shin disappeared back into Kali's shadow and as soon as Shin was out of sight Kali awoke. Kali opened her eyes and looked around and then done at the frog. "Oh I'm so sorry Mr. Frog. I fall asleep like that randomly. But I'm so happy you didn't run away or fall and get hurt. I would have felt so horrible." The frog looked at Kali and let out a loud croak. Kali smiled looking at the frog and mimicked "Ribbit" and then giggled. "Well Mr. Frog shall we continue our little journey?...Hey wasn't I saying something before I fell asleep? OH YEAH! I'm on a journey to find my older brother." Kali then started walking towards some cliffs in the distance and made a little frown. The frog tilted its head and croaked at Kali. "Oh sorry Mr. Frog I was just thinking that I haven't seen my brother in over 15 years. I remember very little of him. He doesn't even know our parents are dead. But this is why it is important that I find him so I have family again" Kali said with some tears in her eyes but a smile on her face.
After walking for 2 hours Kali reached the mountains and started walking through a valley she had found. Kali smiled looked down at her little green/brown companion and said "Hey maybe we can find a nice little green area and some rocks with bugs under them for you here". Kali looked around the valley she saw bits and pieces of grass every once and awhile while walking until walking around a bend she found a small river with a tent. Kali quickly got excited but remember not to jump up and down for the sake of Mr. Frog.
A voice called out to her "You there by the rocks why are you here?" Kali responded with "Hello I'm just passing by. I'm sorry if I have intruded." A cloaked man came out of the tent with two other men. The first voice said "Well come over here so we can meet you properly" Kali got very excited and responded enthusiastically "OKAY" and began walking towards the three men. The other two men looked at first and softly said in unison "Shall we kill her and steal her stuff?" The first man nodded.
Kali walked over by the men and when she was close saw that they had alot of goods. She smiled and said "You men must be Merchants." The men looked at each and giggled "Yeah" they said. Kali could not understand why they were giggling but joined in with them. One of the men saw the frog and said "What the hell are you doing with that ugly little thing?" And smacked Mr. Frog out of her hands. Kali had a look of horror on her face as she reached down for Mr. Frog she said "Why did you do such a mean thing to my friend?" The man pushed Kali down on her side away from Mr.Frog. "This ugly little thing is your friend?" The man said as the other two men moved towards Kali. Kali shrieked "Why are you mean to me and my friend? It is not a proper way for merchants to act." The man looked at her "We are gonna let you know a little secret since your not gonna live much longer. We are not merchants we are Thieves" And with that he stepped down hard on Mr. Frog. Kali screamed while tears ran from her eyes as she reached out for her friend. "Why did you kill him? Why?" One of the other men punch Kali in the face and Kali fell back alittle on her knees, but again Kali reached out for her dead friend and this time the first man kicked her in the face and knocked Kali onto her back. Kali put a hand to her face and felt the blood from her lip and nose and when she looked at it began to have a panic attack while crying and screaming. And then she went silent and her eyes closed and she slowly sank into her shadow and a red form began to rise. The men stood in shock as the thing rose up till it towered over them and it let out a barbaric roar. The men wet there pants turned and started to run as they screamed. The red form reached out and grabbed one of the men before he made it to far and reached into his shadow and pulled out a spike and impaled the man on it. The red thing then turned and looked towards the other two men and took after the two men in a dead sprint. It quickly caught up and jumped onto the one of the mens shadow and disappeared. The men stopped and looked around where did the creature go they wondered. All of a sudden the red thing reached out of the one mans shadow and grabbed his leg and started to spread all over his body and there was one last scream as he was crushed. The last man ran to the stream and after the red thing had crushed all of its victim to a pulp it started swinging wildly as it chased the last man taking out chunks of the ground and the mountain side as if it was paper. The last man tripped and fell on his face next to body of Mr.Frog. The man rolled over and looked up in terror as the red mass stood above him it raised what could be thought as a foot and brought it down with such force it put the mans head down several feet in the ground. The red thing looked around looking for more enemies. Nothing made a sound. And after a few minuets of looking around the creature dropped to a puddle and slowly became darker and darker until it was a simple black shadow again. Shin rose looking about holding his head "What happened this time?" After a minuet or two Shin set about making portals out of the shadows underneath the fallen men. And then Shin brought Kali's body out of the shadows it had been hidden and cleaned the blood from her face, "Poor child" is all Shin had to say and with that he disappeared back into Kali's shadow.
Kali woke up several minuets later. She looked around in horror at the destruction around her and then down at the body of Mr.Frog. Kali began to cry "I'm sorry I brought you with me". She picked up Mr. Frog and made him a small grave and a little marker said a few words and promised that she would find her big brother alone so no one else would have to get hurt on her journey like he had. And with that Kali set off northeast towards a town called Midgar.
"Hello Mr. Froggy" Kali said to a desert frog she found hiding in shade of cactus. "How are you? Will you be my friend?" She said with a smile and a tilt of her head. The frog croaked at her. Kali picked him up and jumped up and down in glee "Yay". The frog cowarded in her hands and closed his eyes. Kali looked down at the terrified frog and said "Oh I'm so sorry Mr. Frog.
