(Sorry for a slow post, had a midterm exam yesterday, alright here goes~)

A few days later....

The cruel, scorching sun beat down on the small party of travellers in a barren, dry[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/1/16/Fortress_-_Desert_trunks.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090821003324 landscape. ] Jagged rock formations and mountains towered over them at on all sides, mixed in between with strange, giant stumps of ancient trees. Silence hung heavily in the hot air, broken only by the wind howling through the landscape, and the grunts of their tall, fuzzy mounts...

Camels, strong and tough, were the ideal means of navigating this rough terrain, the village men had told them earlier. Each girl had been given one, along with a quick lesson on how to ride it and a cloak made of light fabric to shield them from the sun. Following them were a small troop of warriors, led by thechief himself, a large man in heavy armour, Azraq's husband and leader of the 20 odd warriors brought to assist them.

At the start, Vale had been in the lead, but soon found herself struggling to control the temperamental beast. Eventually she started to lag behind, grumbling and cursing, she made a weak excuse about watching the group's rear and remained near the back sulking.

Daphne meanwhile, was surprisingly good at riding her camel. She easily kept pace with Shani and Lily, ready to help if anything happened to them. "You guys doing alright?" She whispered.
