Jaya, Senge, and Nikko all traveled south towards south pole. They had stopped at a few towns on their way down, and currently the group was making its way to another town. It had been a few days since the last town, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry to get to the South Pole. 

Like normal, Nikko sat behind Jaya, looking at the world around them. While he was curious to move east, and to see the lesser visited towns and cities of the earth kingdom, the desert was just too much for him.

"Hey Jaya." He suddenly said out of the blue. "Do you think that we can reach actual peace? It's been a long war, and I'm not sure if everyone can burry the hundred year old hatchet."
