Backstory

Little is known about her origin but she was raised in great poverty at an earlier age, likely fighting for her survival over their childhood. She didn't really have any color at the time since her mental state over the condition she faced. But things look up as she didn't like her circumstances and decide to migrate herself in the vast area of the desert. 

Though she wasn't planning on facing a group of traveling scholars, She hesitated over not wanting to be seen by strangers or aware that she is watching them in the distance as she hides beside a nearby cactus. But her curiosity remains over noticing the smell of food and canister of water intact in their person. However, they spotted her with no trouble and called her over from a safe distance. The child peek over slightly within her hiding spot, surprised that the scholars are friendly to her. One of the travelers walked to her presence and kneed to her height as she stood. They question her what she is doing in a place like this in a vast part of the desert. She spoke softly that she was looking for some food as she didn't eat for three days while being stranded alone. She asks them if she has any. 

The traveler handed her some canned food to the child, and felt bad for her clothes that looked very ragged and dirty. She wonders if has a name, she tells them she doesn't have one as she responds in a calm manner. 

Another traveler comes close to offering a lid that fills with fresh water. She drank it whole through any last drop of it left till she replenished herself. The remaining travelers told her to stay the night within their camping ground as they have a spare pillow, blanket and spot where she can relax. 

It's quite spacious though it is simple looking, better than her vacant place in her impoverished town she previously lived. She later rested for the night, feeling relieved with being comfortable over her circumstances turned around for the better. 

She woke up with the morning light in her eyes. While she got up, she noticed a note beside her along with a folded pair of clothes. It read: 

"Hope you slept well because we are going on an exhibition to look for some landmarks for chances for some treasures. Along the way we assist you with some supplies and clothing that you can take through this journey."

Signed by their names with neat handwriting some scribble drawings show they are scholars from various professions. 

She got dressed and prepared for the adventure ahead. They later named her Artifact or Arch for a short role for assisting the travelers through their quest in the blazing desert. Later, she found themselves with a rare site of an oasis.

Arch is in awe over the lush, rich vegetation that inhabit there, apart from anything she experienced. But something felt within her body, a warm but familiar sensation as if she had been in this place. Though she hardly remembers anything that feels different within her previous life fill herself with the dread of reality, torn apart from living through a hellish living to survive, and feels everything is just an utopia filled with people that society wants to believe through within the mind. 

The traveling scholars noticed a change of her demeanor, almost like she experienced something awful but at the same time they let her be in her moment within herself over knowing she has been through a lot with her age. They tap her with a calm touch to get her back from that deep thought. 

They explain the oasis, its importance and how it became a popular place that travelers came to visit within the desert region. They say that an oasis brings out excellent sources of food that exclusively benefit to nurture ones that are affected with incurable diseases; Though it was not sufficient in the process of further research of curing patients. Sadly most of the vegetation died out of the oasis through a massive sandstorm. blind those who dare take anything of value from the landmark. Since then it has been very difficult to overcome nature's wrath and end the tale. Arch believes it was destiny that she felt the same pity as for nature's desperation of keeping a sacred spot in secret and providing the resources it needs to sustain itself. The travelers accepted that they will keep quiet and promise to give and grow more crops to help keep in order whenever they encounter an oasis through their voyage. 

Both the scholars and Arch are astounded as the landmark begins to construct a massive sandstone ruin that holds an unenclosed quarry that submerged within the oasis permenter. Over their discovery, they are prized with various rare minerals, most importantly artifacts that go undiscovered for years that intrigued the scholars with their efforts to find closure with the mystery relics surrounding Oases. 

However Arch seems to be not satisfied with her efforts to find what she was after, but persists till she finds a medium sized trunk. Curious of what inside she opens with no avail as the trunk is partly rusted with its indents. Upon realizing this, Arch takes out an old-fashioned lock pick in her person unravel till it slams open. Inside she found what she was looking for, an ancient medical book that engraves itself with an herb looking drawing outlined with shimmering gold. But she finds something else in the trunk, a small decorative wooden chest lying in the very bottom. Open it and find seeds from various sizes and colors believed to be regiment of past vegetation. 

And she finds a Jambiya (Arabian dagger) with a decorative metal hilt & scabbard belt as She holds the hilt and unsheaths its blade. She suddenly felt a rush of adrenaline come to her mind while gazing at its sharp reflective blade, almost looking back at her face. She then feels a warm but familiar sensation that feels like an invisible force holding on their face in a heartwarming gesture. 

There it stood a female figure resembling that of their 30s showing she's of Egyptian descent gaze through her eyes. They put out a carving instrument and mark her face, fingers and even her two toed feet with simple lines and shapes tattooing her body with delicate nature. As she was done, Arch's blood seeps a transparent color like it is painting itself with various colors on the carved markings. It seems Arch was blessed with undeniable blood that fills her skin with gleaming colors and gives her connection within fills a prosperous life left to unfold to find out.
