The sand dunes of Farah'deen, a warm and harsh wasteland. The storms and winds blowing grains of sand around, fast enough to damage skin, and ruin clothing. Walking within this harsh territory, were two curious figures, clad from top to toe in thick cloth, their eyes covered with dark and thick-brimmed goggles that made it hard to see anything. They didn't seem to carry much. The tallest figure lead a Camel, that carried multiple bags and supplies. The shortest figure simply carried a light backpack, and what seemed like a short spear, or a pointy cane. The silhouettes were hard to differentiate.
"Are we there yet?" The shortest silhouette asked, her voice was a bit on edge. It had been a long journey, after all.
"Not yet, we have a few miles yet…" The tallest figure spoke calmly, but with a stern undertone.
"The others are already there, why couldn't we just bring the camel onto the boat?" The short silhouette moaned out in irritation, though, she didn't expect an answer. In fact, she knew why. They carried the entire fortune their family had amassed over generations, trusting this to shady boaters was far too risky.
The tallest figure didn't reply, simply staring forward in silence. The warm sun, alongside his thick clothing were a heavy burden to carry, they were a burden he had to carry. His kin depended on him, his judgement and mind. His determination. Sadly, the man felt like he had let them down. His leadership had led them to escape their homeland, in search of true freedom and joy, the man blamed himself for this.
"... You're so quiet… Are you thinking about something?" The short Silhouette replied, glancing up at her brother in concern. Her thick black goggles hiding away the concerned look on her face.
"I'm fine, Priy…" The large Silhouette replied, exhaling softly.
"T-This… We are doing the right thing, right?" The short Silhouette asked, she was just as confused as he was, just as scared. They were going to a whole new land, with new people, a new culture, and new laws. Nothing they knew of home would help them. The large Silhouette reached his hand down for the shorter one, letting her squeeze it tightly. They continued on like this, hand in hand. The squeeze felt real, unlike anything else on this journey. With his grasp on reality, he continued on, towards their new life. Their new home, Regalia.
