Sabet peered around the desert, his head craning outwards from the safety of his tent. He had stranded himself looking for gems but instead got bones- and lost. Ahza was his home but he miscalculated the intensity of the miasma and had to pitch a tent to escape sickness and mana poisoning. The nin grumbled at the sight of the mountains where his home lay. Sabet could see where he needed to go but just didn’t have the strength to make that journey.

Receding back to safety and fastening the tent shut, Sabet lit his lamp and rolled out a few maps to study. Ealei looked so colorful compared to Ahza- but did they have trinkets as gold and rare as ones he could find in his home region? Sabet entertained the idea of reaching Ealei and all he could do like splashing in the water and climbing living trees. He gazed at his jelly paws and unsheathed his claws which had worn from clambering up rocks and trekking through the desert.

Sabet rolled over, his mind full of Ealei. It has waterways and tree cities! I bet I can find some pretty cool things there! I mean, compared to Ahza’s bare lands full of sand, some streams and- he grimaced at the pile of bones he had unearthed. “Bones,” hissed Sabet, swiping at them. Sabet took a deep breath, excusing the idea of bones filling up his collection and he yawned. “Well, I’m sure it’s far more exciting than here,” whispered Sabet sleepily. “I wonder if I can walk there..” Sabet curled up around his maps and drifted off to his dreams.
