394 Bald Prince and Hairless Cat_1

Endless Sand Sea.

Amidst the vast yellow sands, the solemn and mysterious chanting resonated.

A long procession slowly emerged from the lee side of a sand dune.

At the very front of the procession, clearing the path, was a troop of kobold honor guards, exactly one hundred strong.

They were select kobold warriors, one in ten thousand, with pitch-black skin and robust physiques, adorned with shimmering golden ornaments.

In the midst of the procession, four black horse-like creatures with large hooves were pulling a massive black sarcophagus, which was being slowly escorted by the gold-utensil-bearing priests.

The priests were reciting particular incantations, summoning the dark Netherworld Butterflies that gathered and descended upon the huge coffin.

This was a funeral procession.

Within that black sarcophagus lay the body of the Yellow Sand King.
