[QUOTE="EvolutionKB, post: 3790723, member: 47833"] [sblock=background]Viron walked through the desert. The heavy armor and the shield he carried made his progress through the shifting desert sands difficult. He was not uncomfortable though. Through centering his own mind he was immune to the harsh desert sun, and the unforgiving winds that blew stinging sand in his face. He was looking for a small oasis that was nearby. As he strode atop the dune he was climbing he saw it. ***** His mother was there, his father ran into the tent that they had called home for more than a week. The small oasis were hard to find in the desert. If it wasn't for the predators that came here to hunt for food, Viron and his family would have stayed here for the remainder of their lives. His father grabbed his spear and shield. "Run, escape from here!" he cried as he ran out of the tent. "The agents of the God-King come!" Viron and his mother ran from the tent, all they had clutched in their arms. They quickly mounted a camel and began to rid away. They could see the agents of the God-King coming atop their tusked behemoths. They would make short work of the people that had set up temporary homes in the oasis. Viron and his people were considers outsiders, barbarians by the God-King. As Viron's camel rode away from the cool shelter of the trees, he could here the trumpeting of the great mounts of the agents of the God-King. Their loud footfalls echoed in the silence of the desert, as did the the death cries of those who stood in defense of the women and children, including Viron's father. **** This was it. Viron hated to do it. After they had ran, Viron and his mother had taken up residence in the city of the God-King. There they were rebels, hiding in the shadows of buildings and fighting the God-Kings power. One of Viron's goals is to bring life to the desert once more.
