Birds circled overhead.

I cannot bring myself to care.

I shut my eyes again.

"I leave you for five seconds and this is how I find you," Jrudon crosses his arms and looks down at me in dissatisfaction with how he has found me. "You, Amadi, are going to have to get used to these temperatures if you want to even get close to any urban areas."

We’re in a dessert. Nowhere close to civilisation. Apparently, Numix has the biggest dessert which I find weird because Numix is the second coldest kingdom—second to Kaso which is where I just escaped from.

"Are you sure that you know where we’re going?" I ask.

"Don’t underestimate me. Me traveling from Kaso to Numix is my job."

"Right."

He hands me a cooked bird. "Eat up. You’re going to need it."
