They were walking on a borderless desert. They had been traveling for nights. A house of some sort was their destination, as told by the Game. Their house appeared to be a stone-metal-sand cave three days of walking away. The wineskin on their belt was half-filled with 500ml wine-water. An Aluminum folded ladder, as a weapon, was tied to their back. Three days ago, their horse was dying from the harsh conditions of this desert. They ended the horse’s life, cut it to pieces, and cooked its meat when the heat of the day peaked. With limited time, the meat pieces were not fully dried. They ate a slice of horse meat every twelve hours. A thunderstorm was coming. They started running. When they finally arrived at the cave, they hanged up clothes and meat. A bag of corn seeds sat on the front porch. They found vegetation nearby and set up morning dew collecting spots. In their sleep, cornfields magically grew out of desert.
