The vast expanse of the desert, high air temperatures, and strong winds push the golden sand up and reduce one's vision.
Yuna Caibella, she found herself awake at the edge of the forest. She didn't know how long she had been unconscious. The white-haired man sat nearby, then immediately stood up when the elf girl opened her eyes.
"Mr. Elliot?"
The white-haired man gave a signal with his hand, asking the elf girl to follow him.
Yuna didn't find anyone other than them. They had just passed after the monster attack, and the elf girl was awake in good condition. The white-haired man must have deliberately saved her.
Yuna followed the white-haired man, and took a couple of hours approaching the place where their expedition companion had built their tent that night, which was now razed to the sand.
In that place, there were still some relics of weapons, broken tents, and logs, and the most difficult to accept were the corpses of their comrades.
