Trase wore a layer of clothing all over his body and a scarf around his face and head to keep sand from getting into his face while trekking through the sand of the great desert area of Desierto. He had come there with one of his partners in Onyx Pinion in order to find and recruit a certain mage. A red-haired mage that Trase had made it a priority to recruit before they found themselves in a war. She was vital to his plans during the events that would happen soon but she was the one and only experiment that had run out of his mother's lineage out of anger among other things. He understood why she did do it but that did not mean that she did not have a purpose in Onyx Pinion that no one else could fill. She had control and the power of a certain entity that could be used to quickly turn the tide in any battle plus it could be used to help fix the world. He had to show her that she had a purpose to fulfill.

He had chose the perfect person to travel a sea of sand with but that did not mean he was the perfect person to be around at all. Trase eyed the man who he stood with and sighed as he thought of how annoying the trip had been already. The resident sand magic user of Onyx Pinion had to make joke after joke almost as much as he had to breathe the air around himself. Trase was slightly reminded of his old, ignorant self from the past while around Kyle. It wasn't so bad at times but Kyle's debauched way he got with women was something that drove Trase to his limit easily. Most of the time it would end up with Kyle being thrown into and sealed in a glass jar or recently with Trase's new abilities with manipulating ice/cold he would freeze the man solid to the point where he couldn't separate into bits of sand. It would stop him from talking for a bit but eventually Kyle would be freed to help with something. 

Even though Kyle had a way of annoying Trase that did not mean there was no respect between the two. Trase saw the man as someone who could lead Onyx Pinion but decided to make him a sort of second in command of the group. This was because when Kyle was serious he would get things done and get them done well. Trase was reminded of how he found the older Kyle in a jar inside of the Cor Torva facility in a cell where he had killed his mother at. He didn't know exactly why there was a jar full of sand in a cell at all but he opened it anyways to try and figure out what it was about. Nothing happened when he opened it but suddenly the sand came out of the jar on its own and formed into a man's body where it laid on the ground. The man was sleeping which threw Trase into more confusion. After waking up the man he would find out that Kyle was an ex-assassin that his mother had found and experimented on in a sort of way to repent him of his past sins. He was placed in a cell in order for Trase's mother to be killed by him and not have Kyle prevent it somehow. This made Trase have a sort of feeling that Kyle was closer to his mother than others were.

"Kyle, I hope you are able to control yourself where we end up going. I'm not completely sure of what type of city or anything we will find ourselves in but I know there will be women there so please try to not grope them or make us look threatening. I'd rather not fight anyone from an ancient hidden city in the sand." Trase spoke out to his companion as they walked through the sand. "Sorie used her tracker on Nakiya in order to find this place as well as gave us what little info Cor Torva had on this city and their people. Like most people of this world they might not take too kindly to someone drooling over their women and molesting them practically, you know?"
