The cruel sun beat down the barren wastelands, it's one malevolent eye unblinking, and the sky was its co-conspirator, there wasn't even a wisp of cloud to soften the harsh rays. No one would've believed this region was hit by a rainstorm just a few hours ago.
The small lizard-like monsters took shelter in the shadows of the rocks where the sand was not hot enough to roast them. The air was thick and hazy, taking a breath seemed like drowning in lava, and among all this noise of a single car, engine tore the silence and laziness of the wasteland, in all its might. The noise of the car attracted the monsters but the man driving the humvee didn't care about anything else, other than quickly reaching his destination.
He just had to reach and help his summons, no he didn't need to help his summons, they were already sufficient to handle the monsters. What he truly wanted, was to verify one of his theories.
