Accustomed Desert~20

Stripe walk up the scorching heat. They are transported within a desert. They have been walking for hours. It pisses Stripe that he chooses the letter "i" and the stupid face powder even put on the word.

"Inevitable."

"Inside."

"Insecure."

Stripe had it rough while they can't even spot an oasis. He almost cursed when his feet got caught in a hole.

Nod looked like his oxygen bag will squeeze out every ounce of his breath as they march under the heated rays of the sun. He can't help but slowly roll down to where it would take him as he whispered water... water...

Hue wanted to yank off his glooves but it is not right for Nod to see. It's not that he is denying his disability it's embarrassing him.

Oak almost wanted to cry out some blood. Her pores are all open. Her sweat are dripping she even tried using it to wet her patched lips but regretted it by a split of second. It tasted salty and gross.

The uncultivated track made them crawl as they can't find a shelter. When Nod suddenly shouted from below where he rolled.

"There is some water and camp here. There is a ruined building here..Quickly come!" Nod invited and just like a hyenas that found their prey they moved as if there was no tomorrow.

When they arrived to where Nod was...

It was like a sacred altar that was abandoned. The pillars were built in gold. The walls were broken bricks and the flooring were purely flat rocks. The cieling was halfway teared. There are paintings of song above.

"We need to find the thing that connects us here!" Hue commanded

Stripe looked on the entrance and found a horn when he picked it up his hand did not pass through.

"I found it!" He declared as if he won the lottery.

The three gathered to clap their hands as they rejoices. They started to look for water to drink but found none. Until they end up by the altar.

"There is a bottles of wine here." Hue stated.

He read through the label and said.

"This is fresh and new" as soon as he said that everyone gulped trying to prepare their parched throats.

Stripe used the horn to open he bottle of wine. He also used it to fill it in. Stripe took the first sip and found it sweet. Hue took his own part and as if the heaven opened. Nod had his own portion and as if he heared the sky singing. Oak chunked all of it when she feel relieved.

But they end up getting tipsy and drunk. Stripe kept blowing the horn. Hue started laughing on his own and is discussing about survival tactics. Nod started dancing with Stripe and Oak started getting violent. She started kicking everything yet thankfully her body passes through it all.

Due to their noise camels started marching on the temple. Dongkeys are saddled and many more wild beast gathered. Hue started yelling at a snake. Stripe kept blowing the horn that made the animals to gather more. Oak started wrestling with a dongkey on her own since the dongkey can't see her. Nod dances around the wild cats. The wild beast were confused. They can hear and smell them but can't see anything.

Men in horse started to arrive holding their torch. They found the ruin temple full with animals as the horn sounded.

"This is a bad omen." The commander announced.

"Fire your gun to keep the wilds away!" He ordered his military royal trank stood and shine through the sand.

The gunfire had the animals scrambling away.

Hue chased the dongkey he was lecturing when he saw a new customer. It's a horse this time. He waited for the horse to halt in his face and started talking.

"Hey horse do you know that if you keep carrying a person that can walk fine. Your end up as the slave! Did you hear me?!"

The commander who was riding the horse kept glancing to where the voice was coming from.

"Who are you? Show your self!" The commander with mustache dared.

"Me?! Your asking who I am.?.. I am Hue!" Hue shouted.

"Who?! What do you mean! I demand you to speak up and reveal your name." The commander interrogated. His breaded eyebrows sway with the wind.

"I am Hue!" Hue yelled as it echoed.

"Your name please, stop playing with the word who!" The commander warned.

"But... but.. that is my name." Hue sobs and run inside the temple.

The army were left dumbfounded.

Nod started to take the horn from Stripe and dances as the army were inspecting within the ruins. The horn floated up and down. It started twirling and being thrown on it's own. The army cannot see anyone but the horn moving. The commander tried to catch it but it suddenly got moved out of his way. When he was about to follow it the horn suddenly fell on the ground. The commander started to oder his men to catch it when Nod got tired he fall down to sleep on the ground with the horn in hand. The commander was about to pick it up but Stripe came in. The commander was surprised that the horn moved in it's own. Since they cannot see the four but they can hear them. The commander stood in front of the horn and was ready to grab it when it got blown in his face. The sound surprised the army. They gathered in front of the horn when suddenly Stripe started vomiting in the horn after focring his lungs to blow the horn countless times. The army got bathed by Stripe's puke.

Oak came grappling the horn and started swinging it like a sword. Thankfully she learned arnes. The army got slaughtered in a click.

Later on the report of mysterious horn annihilating the army became the news of the desolated sand. Hue woke up with his face on the sand. Nod had his hair full of the dirt. Oak and Stripe woke up on top of the army's exhausted and snoring bodies.
