Desert of Crumbling Sand

----

After his battle against Deserea and the other Desertborn Brigand members, Kieran's first action was to check on Head Merchant Penni and the other merchants. Although the caravans were unharmed by the battle, Kieran doubted these merchants remained unaffected.

After all, the battle was far more fearsome than the previous one. The battlefield was still in a dreadful state even though it had concluded.

"Head Merchant Penni, are you alright?" Kieran asked while knocking against the main caravan.

A whimper sounded from inside. "I-is it safe out there? Is the horror finally over?!"

Naturally, the source of this terrified whimper was Head Merchant Penni, who barely peeked his head out from the small gap in the caravan.

"Correct, it's time for us to resume our travels," Kieran said.
