Difference between revisions of "Summary:White Sand"

Kenton awakens and emerges from the sand sometime after the battle has ended. The Kerztians are gone and only dead sand masters remain. He crawls to a nearby tent and passes out again.

 

:''Day 47''

Duchess Krissalla spots tents from a distance using her telescope. In an effort to find water, Flennid and Torth ride ahead to find a sand field with everybody dead. When the rest of the party arrives, Daazk identifies the dead sand masters and, crying [[Diem|Ry'Kensha]], flees in a panic. Believing that their guide is calling for an ambush, Flennid shoots Daazk, for which Baon admonishes him for killing thier chance to survive traveling the Kerla. While Khriss, Baon and the Professors take stock of supplies in an empty tent, Flennid and Torth steal the remaining water and abandon them to ride back toward port.

 

While searching the other tents for additional supplies, Kenton is found and awakened by Baon and Professor Cynder. Cynder brings the Duchess Khrissalla and Professor Acron while Baon gives Kenton some of their remaining water. At first they believe he cannot understand them, but Baon recognizes that Kenton thanked him in Dynastic while he was recovering. Kenton is puzzled that they can be low on water when they are not in the desert yet, and he explains how to find [[dorim vine]]s. While saying his farewells to the field of the dead, Kenton realizes Drile never drank the water and thinks it means Drile must have betrayed the Diem.
