Stranded and lost

....... (live: 1s)[ ..... ] (live:2s)[ (wake up) ] (live:3s)[ (squinting due to the blazing sun) ] (live:4s)[ As you get up you notice the hot sand beneath your feet. You see that you have a shirt, shorts, and a saber on your back but no shoes. Moments later the feeling of thirst makes you worry. You look left and right but nothing. Feeling alarm you head in the [[straight]], [[right]], [[left]] direction ]

As you continue walking, the feeling of desperation arises. You are thirsty and tired and have no idea who you are. (live: 2s)[ All of a sudden you see a couple of bushes and trees. Hoping to be true you run and run and eventually you see a small body of water. You drink the [[water]] ]

You feel quenched. and begin to wander around the oasis. (live: 1s) [ You see a big tree and right under the tree you see some fruit on the floor. The fruit looks normal and doesn't seem poisonous at all. Do you eat the fruit? [[yes]], [[no]]. ]

After eating the fruit you feel refreshed, satifying both your thirst and hunger lets you focus more clearly on the task at hand and that is surviving. You explore the entire oasis but nothing seems to be of use as you notice the sun going down you start making a little bed of leave. As the night begin you lay down on your bed of leaves and [[close your eyes]].

You go towards the fruit on the sand but instead of eating the fruit you examine it. After you are finished looking at the fruit you get up and start thinking about who you are and what your next steps are. (live:3s) [ Not recalling anything in the past. You start focusing on the present and thinking about how you should survive. You continue [[looking around]] the oasis. ]

After finishing looking around the entire oasis you see nothing that can be of used. *stomach growls* Feeling hungry you think back to the fruit you left Do you go back? [[go back]], [[keep moving forward]]

You quickly run back to where the fruits are. As you begin to eat the dates the feeling of hunger goes away and while you're at you take a drink of the body of water. As you notice the sun going down you start making a little bed of leave. As the night begin you lay down on your bed of leaves and [[close your eyes]].

The feeling of hunger pains you but feeling adament of not eating the fruit and seeing nothing of use in the oasis you set off in the desert. *stomach growls* You march on forward feeling hagard and tired you lay down on the sand. You think to yourself is this over is the end. You get back up and think about going to where the fruit is Do you [[go back]] [[dont go back]]?

You wake up and see some insects on your body. You quickly get up and wipe all your body to make sure nothing is on it. After making sure you're ok. You think of your next steps. You plan to carry the fruit on your walk on the desert. You also wanted to carry some water but having nothing to put the water in you scratch that idea. After packing up the dates you [[set off]] into the desert.

As night approaches you lay down and cloes your eyes. As you are in deep sleep insects starts roaming around your body. ..... ..... ....... Since you're in deep sleep you don't notice what is going on. Some insects start biting you. You wake up but you notice you can't get up. .... (live: 4s)[ You never get back up and get eaten alive by the insects. ]

Not knowing where your going you pick a direction and just start walking. As you keep walking you see a cactus. You walk towards it but when you're about 4 feet from it, you start smelling something weird. You notice it is coming from the cactus. You are a little reluctant but feeling a little thirsty you ponder to yourself if you should drink it? Do you use your [[sabor and drink the cactus]] or [[keep walking]].

You use your sabor to cut the cactus. Using your hands you start drinking the cactus juice. *gulp* *gulp* *gulp* *gulp* *gulp* *gulp* *gulp* *gulp* "aaaaahhhhh" feeling refreshed again you continue on your journey to survive. (live: 3s) [ You keep walking when all of a sudden you start feeling a little dizzy. The intensity continues until you fall down and faint. [[*Next day*]] ]

Feeling a little skeptical about the cactus you think its best not to drink it. As you continue to move forward there seems to be nothin out in the distance. [[You continue walking]]

...... You wake up. Immidiately you feel something constraining you and it seems you are riding something. As you look around you see a group of men carying weapons. They see you've woken up and laugh. Feeling scared you asked,"who are you" ....... ...... They don't respond leaving you helpless as you can't do anything. Since it looks hopeless you do [[nothing]]

You keep walking but still nothing. You start feeling scared and desperate, when suddenly you see something on the ground. (live: 2s)[ A scorpion!! You jump away from the scorpion and just look at it. Not knowing what to do you go [[towards it]] [[away from it]] ]

Being right next to the scorpion, you contemplate whether you should give up nowand let the scorpion [[sting you]] or walk [[away from it]]. The long journey made you weak and tired and you don't even know if you will make it out alive

You move away from the scorpion and stare off into the distance. Still nothing. *sigh* Despite the nothingness out in the distance you don't give up [[hope]]

Feeling hopeless you pick up the scorpion. It immidiately stings you and you feel the poison flowing through your body and you start being uncomfortable. You start feeling scared but it's too late. You start hyper ventilating and eventually you feel nothing you close your eyes never opening them again.

You only have hope and that hope is what is driving you to keep surviving. As the sun starts to set you begin to feel chilly. You start to worry because you have no place to sleep. (live: 3s)[ Out in the distance you seen smoke flying out in the. Your weary self immidiately becomes alarm. You run towards where the [[smoke]] is. ]

As you catch up to where the smoke is coming from you hear sounds. (live:1s)[ Is that people talking? (you think to yourself) As you get closer you see a group of people huddle together near a fire. you feel scared do you [[approach them]] or [[not]]? ]

you approach them knowing you have nothing to lose since you have no water and you already ate all the fruit. You approach them and as you get closer they hear you. They spring into action bringing out their weapons. Feeling scared you put your hands up showing them you have nothing. This seems to work as they look more relaxed. One of the men asked "Who are you" you reply, "I don't know, when I woke up I seem to not remember who I am or where I came from." The other people don't know if they can trust you but they seem to let down their guard. Seeing as they let their guards down you [[go closer to them]].

You get close but not to close so they can't see you. You hear them talk but you don't hear what they say. As you continue waiting patiently, (live: 3s)[ you feel something crawling on your leg. Feeling terrified you brush whatever is there and run towards the group. This alarms the group and they tell you to stop. Feeling a little scared you put your hands up showing them you have nothing. This seems to work as they look more relaxed. One of the men asked "Who are you" you reply, "I don't know, when I woke up I seem to not remember who I am or where I came from." The other people don't know if they can trust you but they seem to let down their guard. Seeing as they let their guards down you [[go closer to them]] ]

Right when you take a step forward they notice it and instantly become on guard with you. Another man demand, "what are you doing" You reply," I just want to talk since it's cold out and I have no where to go." The other travelers look among themselves and nod and lets you come towards them. You tell them about your journey and what has become of you. Some are still skeptical while some do believe you. As you continue talking to them they tell you where you are and where their from. They tell you that you are in [[Tornan desert]] and many other things.

Tornan desert is a place where many lost people come from. No one knows where these people come from all that is known is that lost travelers wander around in the desert. The people you met are from a tribe, called Shullah that helps these so called lost wanderers. They also inform you of the dangers on the desert from the insects all the way to people, called Yorus who captures the lost people. No one knows why they capture them but all they know is that once your capture no one will see you again. As the night befalls upon you and the group, one of the men decide that everyone goes to sleep and you agree. you Find a spot near the fire and close your eyes ang go to [[sleep]].

As the sun begins to rise one of the men wakes you up. He says, "Time to get up we need to head back to out tribe. For the first time since you woken you feel safe. You feel glad that you didn't lose hope and continued to march on. Despite not knowing who you are or how you got there, you decide to focus on what is right in front of you.

As your riding an animal you don't know You notice that the rope that is binding you is a little loose and you might be able to free yourself. Looking around, you start deciding what you do? Do you wish to [[free yourself now]] or [[wait patiently for a better]] moment to escape.

You free yourself from the rope and look in both direction you wait (live:2s)[ you continue waiting. Then as you begin to get off the animal you just run you don't know where but you run. This alarms the group and they chase you right away. One of them pulls out a bow and arrow and fires and you striking you in your back. Feeling the blood run through your back you feel that this is the end of you. As the unknown group walks towards you, you start losing conscience and close your eyes. Never to get up again. You died not knowing who killed you. ]

You loosen the rope but not to the point where the unknown group can notice you. You continue riding and overhear the group talk about something (live:3s) [ "This man right here will fetch us a good price. Who knows he might even catch the eye of Loka." You continue riding when you here the leader of the group say "We'll set up camp here." You begin to think of the ways you will escape and ultimately decide you will do it when everyone is asleep. ] (live:6s) [ As everyone begins descending on there beasts they carry you to a certain spot and lay you [[down]] ]

You look at the person who just carried you but didn't say a word. You notice the various scars on his face. This instills fear in you and you begin to worry. As night begins You continue waiting for the right moment. You notice many of the men are a sleep except two. You begin to untie the rope from your hands and feet. and think about your [[next steps]].

You begin to make a plan and start thinking of ways to escape. You first try to find a way to distract the two guards. You think you can distract them by throwing a bowl they fed you with. You decide to go with that since there's not much else you can do. You throw the bowl pretty far but still just enough that both guard can hear it. The guards follow the sound but they saw nothing... they come back to the camp but didn't even notice you were gone. You keep [[crawling]] until they can't see you.

You feel that you've crawled enough and your pretty far away from the camp. So you get up and run, not looking back once. You keep running even though you feel tiredness creep up on you. You continue pushing forward. As you continue running, the sun is rising erasing all your weariness. You begin to worry if they can catch up, when you suddenly see a group of travelers that don't look like the other group before. From afar the attire the other travelers were wearing seemed more proper compared to the rags the people who kidnapped you were wearing. Do you [[run to them]] or wait and [[follow them]].

You run to them screaming help. The other travelers seem to be wary of the newcomer they see but allow him to come to them. You explain to them what happened and they immediately understands what took place. They tell you, "you're a very lucky person to actually escape from the Yorus." He further explains where you're at and tells you that you are at [[the Tornan desert]].

Tornan desert is a place where many lost people come from. No one knows where these people come from all that is known is that lost travelers wander around in the desert. The people you met are from a tribe, called Shullah that helps these so called lost wanderers. They also inform you of the dangers on the desert from the insects all the way to people, called Yorus who captures the lost people. No one knows why they capture them but all they know is that once your capture no one will see you again. As you continue traveling you tell them about your journey. While you continue talking they tell you they are leading you to their tribe. Feeling safe you give a sigh of relief and think about all of the events that befell upon. You thank the other travelers and continue on your journey.

You lay low and continue to follow them but you realise they are heading towards the direction of where the other group was. Do you [[alarm them]] [[Keep quiet]].

You yell at them to stop. Hearing an unknown person they bring out their weapons. .... .... A couple seconds later nothing happens you get the courage and [[walk closer to them]]

You don't tell them the dangers that await them and continue following them. (live: 1s) [ ....... ] (live:2s) [ ...... ] (live:3s) [ All of a sudden you hear a sound of a horn. Knowing what the danger is you begin running away but their beast quickly approach the group and yourself. You notice the other group getting slaughtered. You keep Having not ourun the beast, the beast starts stomping at you leaving unable to get up. You eventually are unable to move and you lay on the floor eventually drawing your last breath. ]

Right when you take a step forward they notice it and instantly become on guard with you. Another man demand, "what are you doing" You tell them about the dangers from the direction you left. They instantly look among themselves and discuss among themselve. They eventually trust you and you walk closer to them and begin telling them your journey.
