Preparing For Derby Desert

Knowing where to find Axel wasn't the difficult part of preparing for their journey. Truth be told, Zero didn't think that they needed to do many preparations for Derby Desert but Truen begged to differ.

"The harshness of the desert cannot be underestimated," Truen warned.

He talked about the dangers of unknown monsters lying in wait beneath the sand, the harsh sun and heat as well as the lack of water. Zero listened to his best friend talk about stories of people getting starved and shrivelled up in the unforgiving environment.

"The worst is when compasses don't work and when the desert starts creating illusions. Desperate adventurers will follow them when they are out of food and water, only to realise that it was a trick by the sands. The wind changes all the time so sand dunes shift, it is literally a death trap. Even experienced guides of the deserts can die at any moment, the place is full of dangers and you'll never know what happens next."
