'Come on Pookie, let me go'.
'I'll give you anything you want'.
'I'll give you my wealth and even an arm or leg if you want'.
'Just let me go'.
'Let me go'.
'Let me go'.
'Let me go'.
I do what I do best when cornered.
I think.
I plot.
I look for a way out.
"Then I traveled west with Mage Alia and Rumi of House Kiseson" I explain in the sand pit to the young Jarkar.
"Oh buddy, that's a doozy" he exclaims with a chuckle and another drag of his pipe.
"Buddy, that's not even the beginning".
"I end up falling down an Ums pit, midway through the desert".
"I am saved by an Um who cleared a way for me upwards".
"I make it out of there only to have to fight my way west".
"I find a sand rider and a mage on it, but they get attacked by an Um and that put an end to that".
