warm sand swirls around your feet, and a blast of hot dry air hits your
face. the desert spans out around you, a landscape of sand, dunes raised
up by the wind. you glance back towards the mountains behind you, then
step farther in. a small pool of water lies, a small lizard basking in
the sun on a near rock. you step closer, and take a long drink, the air making
your throat scratchy already. a few scattered palm trees are tilted by the
wind, overhanging the pool of water. the largest of the two's shadow gives
no relief from the consistant sun, and you glance around once more. nothing
stands out against the horizon, nothing marks the landscape, until you hear
a sudden snort behind you. you whirl, and there before you stands a wild
mustang.

he snorts slightly, stomping one hoof into the sand. a white star stands
out against his sand colored coat, his mane a clouded sky blue. finally he
tosses his head and speaks.
"Stranger, this is the desert. I am the Guardian
here, steal nothing or be hunted." he glares at you, whipping his tail
slightly behind him. you nod quickly, and he nods as well, watching
you. you stare at him once more, then hurry off into the desert.
