Ashanti cried and cried and called out for her parents she had never known. If only there was some way out of this desert place or some way she could be free again, but nothing changed. She called for Cameo and dreamed about him in her dreams. They lived somewhere else where sun shone and moon lit up the sky at night.

Xyber was planning to take control of 3 nearby cities at the time of the next moon and then he would marry Ashanti. The next moon was only 2 weeks away. Ashanti knew this and was worried. She tried to think of a way to get out the castle, maybe get to Cameo. Then one night she had a dream. She was young and her brother Styles was there.
