The heat was oppressive. Wind hadn't blew for days. Shades were rare. Because of that, the heat stroke with all his power. For some the heat was terrible for others it wasn't a pain. For Susanne it wasn't such pain. But not because of her abilities or her strength of will. But her clothes. She only wear a beautiful simple black dress. Nothing more. Not even shoes. She loved the feeling when her toes burrow into the hot sand. That's why she was not affected by the heat like others. And of course, the supporting from her little pet Hector, who spend Susanne shade with one of his big hands (his hand was almost as tall as Susanne herself) since they entered the desert.

If you see Hector the first time, you would propably say that he is bizarre. And you are probably right with this. Hector was twice as big as Susanne. His hands and his head was really big, but his legs were definitely to short for the rest of his body. Hector has no eyes but a perfect sense of smell. Hector are definitely bizarre, but don't tell this Susanne. She hates it if someone bullies her little friend.

Susanne's hands were on her back. On her lips was a complacent smile. And by every step it seems like she would jump a bit. She looked like a defiant child.

Suddenly Kanji and Keribo ran away. Susanne finally discovered the new person. She turned back and told: "Come, Hector". With an undefined but approving grumble, Susanne and Hector, who still spend Susanne shade, went to Keribo and Kanji.
