“Shit.” Lilli said blandly, watching the sand rise up to swallow the city whole, circling like a whirlpool. She barely closed her eyes before whipping sand flew into her face and swept up a scorchingly hot wind. A rumbling sound grew louder and louder as the earth twisted underneath her feet. It built and built, rising to a howl that struck at the forefront of her mind and left her ears popping from pressure and pain.
The sand rose and fell like a tide, filling buildings and building its way up. A roaring wind knocked her back, and Ser Alcuin caught her as she stumbled backwards.
When the wind died down, she opened her eyes.
“It’s like the city was never there.” She marvelled.
Benk cleared his throat. “Yeah, that’s scary. The sand looks flat and undisturbed. I’d never know it was just here a second ago.”
“Yes, yes,” Elathor said, obviously disinterested. “Magic will do that. Are you going to marvel at hot sand all day, or come with me to Ulante? I suspect that we are quickly running out of time.”
“Oh!” Benk scrambled up, sand running down his armor. “Let’s go. I bet they have beds.”
“And substantially fewer corpses.” Ser Alcuin agreed.
They walked in the cooling desert for hours before it got too dark to carry on. Elathor
