Chapter 5 : Dangers Of The Dessert Part 1.

The Female continues observing me intensely, so i look back at her, matching the obvious challenge she is performing.

—I am not going on my own, i simply move closer to the gate and see how is the environment ahead.

My words are fluid and true, which seem to be enough to appease her scrutinizing sight, letting the incident pass without further ado.

—If you say so …

Comment the Female in a berely audible whisper before expressing resolutly.

—Read the Rules and follow them if you want to go out of the Town, I will not gonna ignore another provocation.

{What is her problem?!, i just wanted to take a look and learn a bit about this place!, Whatever, at least this scolding let me know something new}

Seeing with greater detail the vicinity of the gate, there are two of the buildings in which several guards are stationed.

{Barracks?, no, they are to small for that, probably are Auxiliary Facilities, or maybe they serve as Rest Stations in case the Guards and Soldiers have to remain on active duty nonstop all day long?}

On the wall that is near the street side of these buildings, there are Framed Marbel Boards embedded with Obsidian letters.

{They love to use Marble, Obsidian and the hazel stone as the core raw materials on their architectonic designs}

{It is because the finished result looks attractive to the eye and its use is viable?, Or is it because they have no alternative on this subject?}

Leaving that question for the moment, i focus my attention on the Framed Marble Board in front of me..

§ Rules To Leave The Towns §

"Never" leave the walls "Alone" unless you are at least Level 3.

Minimum Five People are necessary to form a group to go out.

Groups conformed by Three Integrants can depart if all of them are Level 1 or superior.

Duos can leave on their own if both are Level 2 or above.

§ Always Carry Emergency Supplies §

{This rules are more flexible of what that woman made it seem!, And the title on the Board was in Plural,"Towns", most likely there are other settlements nearby}

{Should launch Myself into the fray of adventure and going out to explore and face unaccountable enemies and dangers, considering that i don't have anything to loose?}

{A lot of the knowledge i have is absent of my mind, lacking basic understandings and clues to build a functional foothold to remain on this strange location}

{Not forgetting that … , My fiancee … , she was murdered, and i am not really caring in the slightest for what have happened to her, WHY?!}

—Hey!, you are a newcomer too, Right?, Want to tag along with us?.

The sudden sentence distracts me of the lamenting that was happening inside of my head.

Seeing the one who spoke to me, a short young man with metallic short hair and glowing eyes, both of a grapefruit shade.

He is quite skinny, but far of being malnourished as the other person i watch in the chamber, and having the fair hazelnut skin of everyone that i encountered since i arrive here.

Berely reaching a meter and a half of height, his tunic of white linen is extremely baggy on him, simultaneously, being long enough to easily confused the appearance due to looking like an oversize dress.

{Wow, and i felt that in my case these clothes were baggy, His "Disposition" is visible, Could it means his intentions are trust worthy?}

—What do you mean by us?.

{He call me "Newcomer", and say "Too", i don't remember seeing him earlier, or he was in one of the other two Chambers?}

»—And shouldn't you present yourself first?.

I add with joking tone, he grinns and corrects himself.

—Right!, haha, I forget that, my name is Vincent Echeverria Vinnval …

{Intriguing, i couldn't see his name on the Interface, but i think the "#" represents other letters and for an unknown reason, i can see the "V"}

»—The others are Newcomers too, six without counting us, and three that arrive here yesterday.

{Is that a prudent decision?, He doesn't know anyone?!, well, it is the same for me, ahh?!, What difference does it make?, better to have bad company to go out than remain here and keep thinking about how my life was in the past}

Accepting the suggestion, both walk towards this group, Vinnval presenting me to the other Nine members of this temporary Team.

»—He is coming with us, he is … , Eh, What was your name?.

{He is quite clumsy, or maybe just too relaxed}

—I didn't have the opportunity to tell you, but all of you can call me "Korvac".

—Welcome to the team Korvac!.

Said Vincent with a bit too much enthusiasm, earning himself several shushes from the nearby bystanders.

—Let's depart, we can present ourselves later, we are not going far.

Comment a Man with black hair and blue eyes that is taller and bulkier than me, surpassing 2.3 meters of height.

{Why his clothes look tailored for himself but at the same time they are not different of what the others are wearing?}

The doubt lingers on mi mind as we cross the gate, walking over the cold sand of this dessert under the veil of the early morning.

A few minutes into the route, a large rock formation similar to a steppe becomes visible.

Walking up to the top is possible to see the horizon in the west getting illuminated slightly each passing second, having a beautiful orange reddish colour.

{The sun comes from the west?!, What is going on here?!, in my Planet the morning arrives from the South!}

—Lets enter into the Caves before the light reach us, The temperature in the environment spikes up until it becomes unbearable, especially if you are on the sand, be careful to not go through a heat stroke, they can be lethal.

Said the Bulk Man with consciousness.

{Has he seen this event in person?, because that is the impression he is portraying}

»—Stay alert, "Sandworms" are easy prey, but if they fall onto you and attack a sensitive area of our bodies, they can kill us with one bite.

{I didn't see that coming, he was talking about the climate then this}

»—Corners and turns are dangerous, "Carnivorous Caterpillars" are skilled predators that wait patiently for their victims, executing them quickly, unless it is one of the large ones, block them with your arms, it is better to have an injury that lose our lives.

—You mentioned Caterpillars, then there must be Butterflies or Moths.

Said a woman with short black hair, that gives her a wild but somehow smart vibe.

—As you suspect … , There are a few of those, but they prefer a fresh environment, that is why we are coming near the dawn, they go to deepest and colder parts of the caverns …

»—While the Sandworms wants to reach the surface from their nests, because moving through the sand, their speed increases exponentially, like a fish in water.

The woman makes another question.

—So we have to get rid off this Sandworms sp they are not a threat for the Town?.

—Not only this Town, travelers and the ecosystem near the river can be affected if there are too many of them, causing shortages in food production, on top of stronger and resilient Sandworms …
