Nick led his four employees toward the north.
They decided to veer off towards the west for a bit.
The reason for that was the big area to the northeast.
A couple of kilometers northeast of the Swallowing Swamp was the Desert.
The Desert was a Specter that was called the Desert as well as an actual desert.
However, compared to the usual deserts, this one was far smaller, only being about five kilometers wide.
The Desert was an even plane of sand.
There were no hills, dunes, holes, or whatever.
It was perfectly even.
There were also no stones, animal bones, corpses, plants, or whatever.
Every point of the Desert was identical to every other point.
There were two reasons why Nick wanted to avoid appearing near the Desert.
First of all, the Desert was at least an Elder.
