The four of them locked their arms around themselves, laughing as they jumped up and down and exclaimed: “Land ho! Land ho! Land ho!”

After so long, none of them had the energy to have anything but excitement pumping through them.

After a few minutes, they arrived at shore.

Tyr immediately knelt down and kissed the floor several times.

“I love you, grass! Where have you been all this time!?”

“Oi!” Hanzo shouted, “Come on… we have no clue where we are. For all we know, we may still die of hunger.”

The shore they had landed in wasn’t like anything they had witnessed before.

It looked like a normal sandy beach at first, but as they continued walking up the shore, they noticed that the sand didn’t stop.

It continued on like dunes for as long as the eye could see.

It wasn’t even a rocky desert, which they were used to by now. The ones filled with cacti and boulders as far as the eye could see.

No, this one barely had any cacti, and not a single boulder in sight.

The sand was fairly flat, with light bumps and valleys that extended into an infinite distance.

On arriving atop a hill and seeing all of this, tears nearly came out of Tyr’s eyes.

“Did the God of luck decide to take shit on our heads this past month?” He said, his eyes opened wide with despair.

Noa felt her knees almost buckle, “First Tyr nearly dying… and then the dragon bounty, and then being stranded on the ship… and now, this?”

Malon simply stood there uttering the same words under his breath: “No food… no animal… no food… no rabbit… no deer…” He continued.

Tyr took a deep breath, “Alright!” He roared, “Snap out of it! I won’t die just because of some stupid thing called starvation! I just survived hell!”

He began to stomp forward, the others staring at him from afar.

‘Starvation wants to kill me? I wonder… Reverse!’ Nothing happened…

‘Reverse! Reverse!’

His stomach suddenly grumbled.

‘Ah… whatever! I don’t need Reverse. I’ll survive this without a problem.’

After he continued for several dozen feet, the others were also convinced to follow him.

They all gathered themselves eventually and began their trek across the dunes.

*Hours passed…*

The group continued to dwindle down to their last legs as they walked across the scorching land.

With tongues swinging and postures slouched, they finally made it atop a large dune hill and noticed a twinkle of blue at the very bottom of it–thousands of feet away.

“An… oasis!” Tyr exclaimed, a smile appearing on his face.

Malon also seemed excited at the thought of an oasis, but Noa and Hanzo weren’t so convinced.

They looked at each other silently, shaking their heads.

“We have no other choice…” Hanzo said under his breath, following Tyr down the hill toward the oasis.

Tyr hadn’t wasted any time whatsoever, not even waiting for his group before hopping on Rudra and sprinting down towards the water.

It was over a thousand feet down, but Rudra made his way there fairly quickly.

‘I wish I could bring you my bounty from Infinite Domain, master…’ Rudra exclaimed in a low, somber tone.

He felt the hunger and pain of his master and didn’t like it whatsoever.

“It’s fine… this is no big deal.” Tyr exclaimed under his breath, as the oasis neared.

As they got closer, they noticed that the small twinkle of blue was actually enormous up close.

“This place…” Tyr said lightly, his chin pointed toward the sky while looking at the large structure before him.

“Its a city.”

There were giant walls made of sandstone and metal, along with giant stone spikes that appeared every few dozen feet.

The walls were tall, clearly measuring to be over 500 feet, which shocked Tyr.

“I swear it wasn’t thing big a second ago… and where did the blue water go?”

At that moment, Hanzo and the others arrived on his Hoverski.

The group made it to the main entrance, where not a single guard was present.

Although they were a bit confused, they neared the large entrance.

They couldn’t see what was inside, as the entry doorway looked to be blocked by a thick white mist of sorts.

As they traversed across the fog, an entirely new scene blessed their eyes.

Malon’s brows furrowed with confusion, “Green… everywhere.” His eyes darted all over the place.

The others were no less bewildered.

Tyr couldn’t believe his eyes. In front of them was an enormous, thick jungle.

The trees were large and small, but the canopy was dense–blocking out the sky. The rays of sun that shined in from the treetop crevices gave the entire area a slightly yellowish, green hue.

The air was humid and moist, the ground slippery and wet, and the forest stretched for as far as the eye could see.

“There’s no way this was actually inside those walls.” Hanzo said, in slight disbelief.

Tyr turned, “Most of the trees are about 30-40 feet tall.” He noted. The trees were like from the jungle part of Gitran. They were mangled, twisting and turning in every which way.

“However,” Tyr continued, “There’s a few that are huge. Like that one.” He pointed to an enormous tree in the distance that looked to tower over the wall they just came from by a few hundred feet.

“We would have see that tree on the other side… that means this is a small, but separate dimension within the confines of this wall.”

The others gasped slightly in lodgement and surprise as they heard Tyr say this.

“Thats some awesome technology.” Hanzo chuckled, the others also agreeing.

Before them was a wide dirt-trodden path, which they decided to follow.

On their way, Hanzo and Tyr decided to scope out the area a bit more by flying over the main treeline and trying to get a viewpoint of the place.

Hanzo went left, obviously using his Hoverski.

Tyr on the other hand went right, using his dragon wings to fly. He had a solid amount of control over them now, as he had practiced a fair amount.

“Insane…” Tyr exclaimed to himself as he saw the forest before him. It looked like there wasn’t any desert dunes to begin with. The forest extended as far as the eye could see.

Finally, he saw something that looked manmade in the distance. He squinted his eye to get a better look at it.

“A warehouse?” He confirmed, noticing a large and worndown metal building in the middle of the jungle. He began to slowly float over to it when he heard Hanzo’s shouting all of a sudden:

“A city! Its a city!”

As Tyr heard this, his head immediately turned away from the warehouse. With a smile, he flew back over to the others.

“Finally!”
