"Why am I back in the desert?" Zok mumbled as he looked around himself.
He was back in the desert alright, but he didn't have any recollection of how he got there. None whatsoever. On top of that, he was all alone... consumed by the vastness of the place. This was even more peculiar since he wasn't foolish enough to go somewhere as dangerous as the desert without the help of his pets and Shira.
However, as he began thinking about it more and more, he started to forget about... everything. It started with his adventure of the cold lands, then he forgot about Cero, Shira... and even Kaira. As he forgot about them, the scenery around him changed as well.
The desert slowly transformed into the settlement Zok grew up on. But this time, the behaviour of everyone around him was different. They no longer saw him as a burden but with respectful eyes. There was no sign of the shamans or his father.
