When Angel heard the name Salmado, a flash of realization crossed his eyes. Not long ago, when they had first entered the Wildstone Wasteland, they had encountered the Sandwind Caravan. One of its wind-element members had been named Salmado.
Could Anoto's sister be a member of the Sandwind Caravan?
Anoto quickly confirmed it.
"Not long ago, my sister met a friend from the Toothpull Desert. Then she told me she was going far away to travel and seek adventure... I like adventure too. My sister could have taken me with her, but she didn't. She left alone with that hateful Sand Eagle!" When Anoto mentioned "Sand Eagle," it ground its teeth furiously.
By then, Angel had basically confirmed that Anoto's sister was Salmado of the Sandwind Caravan. And the Sand Eagle traveling with her was Aguado, the one they had met before, whose eyes lit up whenever "faraway places" were mentioned.
Its sister's departure had left Anoto heartbroken.
Without its sister, White Cloud Township made it feel lonely and cold. It did not like that kind of life. So it had made a decision then and there: it would seek out its sister and follow in her footsteps.
Less than twelve hours after Salmado left, Anoto had flown from the heartland of White Cloud Township toward the Toothpull Desert, hoping to catch up with her.
But it was still only an elemental sprite. Compared with adult elemental creatures, its speed was slower by more than an order of magnitude. It had not reached the Toothpull Desert until today.
The moment it entered the Toothpull Desert, it saw the Sand Eagle flying alongside the Gondola and remembered Aguado, who had "lured" its sister away.
In its rage, it had initiated a fight with the Sand Eagle, leading to everything that followed.
