"The Lamaken Desert…" Mia said with revulsion, shuddering at the thought of crossing the burning hot plains again.
"Looks like it's going to get hot in here…" Isaac said, with a hint of dry humor.
"Stop joking around and grab my hand." Mia snapped back, irritated at having to go through the desert another time. The portal opened, and a sandstorm whirled around them as they were immersed in yet another memory. When the sand cleared, and they had wiped it all out of their eyes, they found themselves following the group in the largest section of the desert, with many treasures and pit monsters lying hidden beneath a cloud of mirages. Ivan stepped forward, revealing another djinni for him to befriend. Ivan started to jump for joy, until his sweat started to pour off of him again.
"God, I wish I'd packed a change of clothes. I'm sweating all over! It's disgusting!" She heard herself say. Mia would have said the exact same thing had they not have to hide. She followed them around some more until they were met with another treasure chest. This one had some coins in it, and Isaac pocketed them. Ivan urged the group to make for the next oasis, but soon they were crawling on the sand, exhausted to the brink. Isaac finally collapsed upon the sands, as a golden light lifted from his body. Ghost Isaac ran after it, and dove over Isaac's unconscious frame, as the dust absorbed itself into Ghost Isaac's body. He landed with a forward roll, glowing white for a few more seconds before fading down to normal. Their surroundings swirled yet again, and they found themselves in the room once more. Mia washed herself down, having sweated through her clothes yet again, which now were glued to her frame. As she washed herself, she carefully watched Isaac to make sure he wasn't staring at her. Luckily for him, all he did was stare off at another wall of the room. Mia dried herself off, and pulled Isaac from his daydream, whatever he was thinking about.
I'm sorry folks, this chapter was really short. I promised you an update, and you're going to get one, I hope that I don't get writers block and kill the story for you all. Keep reading, and I promise that the next one will be longer!
