Chapter: The Windswept Desert
You plod through the hot desert, sweat dripping on your skin. All you can see is sand, white and beautiful. Or it would be beautiful if you weren't practically burning. You need to find shelter or you will die. Of course, a way off this rock would help too
Plot points/Scenes
Scene 1: The fiery wreckage
Scene 2: The journey

Themes
All of the rock formations seem reminiscent of a coral reef, though eroded by wind. The bones of leviathans lay on the ground. The sand is almost white, impossibly clean looking
