Aah... Wh-what is
with this heat...?

...We went through the cave and ended
up on the other side of the mountain.

Which means...

Those are the
Sands of Kogorh...

Whoa... We made it
all the way there?

The Sands of Kogorh.
Phaeroh's here.

I... I'm going on...
to meet Phaeroh.

Wait! We can't just
let you go alone.

I mean, our job right
now is to protect you.

Well... We did get the
stolen box back, right?

Yeah, I guess we can't just
keep chasing him around.

Hmm, all right, we'll take
care of 'em next time.

Hold on.
Are you seriously going?

Do you know what you're saying?
This is a desert. It's hot.
People die here. Get it?

I'm ready for it...I think...

...The desert is divided
into three regions.

Huh?

The foothills to the west, the
center where it's hottest, and
the massive peaks to the east.

H-hey, hold on...

...There's a town between
the end of the western
foothills and the central area.

Where did you hear that?

I went there with a friend
once. It's a nice town
built up around an oasis.

We'll hold off on any
major decisions until
we get there, then.

Sounds good to me. Old
Raven won't be able ta think
straight till he cools off.

What about you, Patty? Aren't
you looking for some treasure?
The Maris Stella, right?

I'm not sure if you'll find any
clues to that in a desert town.

Don't worry about it, kiddo!
Aye, where there are people,
there are clues aplenty!

You're right. You'll find
people to talk to there.

Then it's decided.
I'll accompany you
to said town!

...Rita...

...I know.
We'll make that our
first destination.
