The fumes of the crash burned my throat. I painfully lifted my head from the dirt everything was cloudy there was dust flying every where. I crawled out of the desert vehicle with my arms crawling across glass and metal my arms got cut up a little, I stood up
Lesloth! I screamed
"Here" I heard a weak voice call out I limbed over to Behind the desert vehicle he was laying on his back I held my hand up to block the sand I knelt by him
"Come on" I said we got to go.
"My legs" he coughed out.
I looked down at him the desert vehicle had landed on his legs.
Click! Click! I looked around and saw nothing I looked back down at lesloth
R-u-n! He coughed out slowly.
I was confused I looked at him oddly and thought back to my training in the desert we have to watch out for the desert spines. Huge snakes made of bones of a beast. Horrified I stood up and looked around quick little movements all around me.
"I'm coming back for u" I said quickly to lesloth I started to run as fast as I could Click! Click! I turned around I saw the tail of the desert spine going into the sand I took the knife out of my pocket and held it in my hand and turned around he leaped out of the sand and leaped at me I started to run knowing he was right behind me I didn't even look back he leaped up out of the sand right In front of me and into the air I looked at the hole he made and crawled into it I could just fit on my hands and knees a started to crawl through his worm hole I suddenly came to a stop the hole ended I panicked I turned around and sat with my back against the dirt behind me. Tired out I curled up and waited till the clicking stopped I crawled quietly back down the worm hole and stuck my head out I looked around It looked clear I stepped out sweat running down my head breathing hard I started to walk but stopped in my tracks I turned around and thought of lesloth I turned away and walked in the opposite direction I walked for hours my skin blistered from the sun and sand. I was so thirsty the sun was setting and it was about to get cold the sand stopped blowing and it was just sand dunes for miles I crawled up the sand dune and got to the top I looked down over the desert I turned left then right I saw a small fire and a single person sitting there right next to a huge hole I ran toward him stumbling in the sand I finally made it I walked up to the fire so tired and soar I collapsed in the sand he ran over to me
"It's going to be ok my name is Nathan" I sat up.
He gave me some water. he had and an extra cloth to keep the sun off me
"How did u start the fire" I asked
"My brother died in the black war and all that I had left of him was his hand lighter"
I looked over to the hole "what's this" I asked
"They call it the pipe" Nathan said "its a long deep hole and no one knows what is down there because the gargants want it hidden they built a huge sand wall about a mile that way"
"So we go down there and figure it out" I asked
That's the plan Nathan nodded.
