No Compromise

Time passed. Occasionally, they found sympathetic travelers who sheltered them, giving them a place to stay for the night. They'd share flatbread and cactus tea, and his family would sleep with full bellies and warm hearts.

Half the time, his dreams were interrupted by attacks from their guardians. And he would fight, tooth and nail, to keep his people safe. The humans never changed- no matter how tall or strong or smart he grew, they were always the same.

And half the time, his dreams were interrupted by his own mission. He'd awaken his peers. Together, they'd gut their sleeping guardians, taking their possessions, disappearing into sand. Anything to survive.
