Lady Tanya Tate had heard about the Magic Water of the Lonely Oasis and its healing and arousing properties. She decided to make the long trek and cross the desert to visit the Oasis and experience it for herself. The tension between her Father, Lord Tate, and much of Naiga was increasing and some of the roads were becoming unsafe. This may be her last opportunity to visit the region When she finally arrived the Keepers of the Oasis allowed her to stay in one of the garden rooms, very close to the magic spring. It was one of the greatest honors they could bestow upon a visitor. The Oasis is a calm and simple place where Cherie DeVille works, however, and Tanya was not impressed. It lacked the luxuries that she expected.
