"I'm Jurek... and so ya know, they didn't feel any pain... the sand worms have a toxin in their teeth that numb their prey, it lasts more than long enough... but my leg's starting to get the feeling back, so we really need to get back to the village..." he sped up his pace.

"Well... at least they didn't suffer... I guess..." *Zack shook his head, his brain still not registering the fact that they were all gone... He hadn't been close to any of them, but they were still his friends... He quickly picked up his pace to match Jurek's, a frown on his lips.* "So your village... They're all like you? They have wings and stuff?"

"yes, they're all like me. We all have wings." he nodded, not looking at him as he walked.

"This... this is incredible... We expected to find some strange ruins, perhaps a civilization that worshipped a winged god... but you... you have the wings..."

"Yeah..." he nodded, rolling his eyes... this guy just seemed to be stupid.
"what were you looking for?"

"Anything... No one's ever mapped out and explored this desert... But we found these statues..." *Zack rummaged through his bag before tenderly withdrawing the small winged statue and holding it out to show Jurek.*

"huh... wondered what happened to these..." he grabbed it, looking it over.
"wow... will Kira be glad to see these again." Jurek chuckled tossing the statue lightly and then looking it over.

"Hey! That's mine! I found it out there in the sand! Be careful with it!" *Zack frowned, reaching to grab the statue back.*

"this is not yours. this belongs to Kira, our elder woman. They belonged to her grandmother and were given to her and then one day when she was small and the aeryns still lived in the dessert instead of the oasis, the sand worms attacked and these were lost." he held the statues away from him.
"believe me, you'll hear the story yourself, she never stops telling it." he groaned.

*Zack growled, not at all happy of having his treasure witheld from him.* "Listen, I don't know who you think you are, but I worked hard to find that and I'm not giving it up just because some old bat lady wants it!"

Jurek grabbed the man by the neck ((cause he still hasn't said his name)) and paused.
"you'll give them back, because these are important statues of ancient Aeryn from our past who are our heroes for their brave deeds and acts." he glared at the man.
"their very names are even witheld from being used so that no one can diminish their accomplishments..."

*Zack glared back at Jurek, not at all happy as he struggled to breathe.* "Listen pal! My friends died over that stupid statue! I'm not going back home without something to show for all of this!"

Jurek laughed, "you're probably not even going home." he pushed the man away, starting to walk again.

*Zack stumbled but managed to catch himself, glaring daggers at Jurek's back as he reluctantly followed him.* "What's that supposed to mean, bat boy?"

"that means, you're probably stuck here. I had enough trouble GETTING you this far, and I doubt we'd take the chance of using a group of our best fliers to get you back... unless you want to walk..." he chuckled.
