Day 6

After the sun rose we tried to get back to the village for safety so slowly we began to head there. We began to run as  fast as we could, but a few moments later the desert scorpion hurled its self up out of the ground right over our heads. We split up going left and right luckily we managed to get out of the way in time before the scorpion slammed its body into the ground. Then the question was what to do about the scorpion we faced, we waited for it to move but nothing happened. we began heading back to the village again and strangely the scorpion followed we moved again and he followed again. We had no idea what it wanted so we began walking back to the village. When we where back together in our group we where traveling at a steady pace occasionally looking back and sure enough the scorpion has following us still. When we reached the village wall we asked the mayor why the scorpion was following us and he said "This scorpion's name is Requaza (re qu a su) and it is and old friend of this village it use to be a guardian here but a while back it left and this is the first time we've seen him since, and he seems to have taking a liking to you." We repacked our gear and began to head out again but as we left we heard someone shout "WAIT!" it was the mayor as he caught up to he said "Take Requaza with you he will be a great allie to you on your journey." as he popes out of the ground behind us knocking us off our feet we discussed it for a moment and we said thank you and decided he could tag along and so we set off again on our journey.
