Through the high dunes and low marshlands, when the low tide hits the southern facets of the old gods, a brilliant visage would make itself seen. All the majesty and the misery of the lands within had stories to tell.

When he arrived at the terminal, at the edge of the dune, he found two brick-red windbreaker cloaks. Terminal read in its old orange hue:

/////Last entry; 28 months.

“Dear Traveller, I too dared these dunes as you’re about to. I know your journey thus far has been perilous. So allow me to give you some peace of mind.

Throughout your journey you will face many challenges. Most important you must look out for is the wind. Don’t let the dune sand get in your orifices. Do not stay long in the sinking sands, this land is not natural. You’d find many dangers within the sands. Don’t stay too long.

Find yourself a sand-strider to ride the wind and the sands. But don’t let the winds sweep you in its direction. Always fight it. You’ve been fighting the elements thus far so I know you can do it.

And lastly, the worst place you could be lost is within yourself. Always find a place to grasp. Don’t allow yourself to drown inside. It’ll be fine. This too will pass.

Dunes will teach you, and all the places the wind carries. I couldn’t leave you a sand-strider. But I leave you with these. Named after the wind of the old gods. They should serve you well.”

A note slips from the cloth. It reads:
