The Grand Desert seems to go for miles. The sand is golden and the sun glistens over the endless mounds. There are tents of all different colors scattered throughout the Grand Desert. Magenta and gold, blue and green, all different color combinations of triangular tents outline the sand mounds. Camels and palm trees are seen in the vast distance. The sky looks extraordinarily blue against the tents and sand. No clouds are in sight.

I am here if anyone were to need anything. I am at the beck and call of my Lord and Lady. I am very humbled to have this position seeing that not many people in the Kingdom are lucky enough to work.
I wish I could carry water in my body like you do, camel. I am.. so... thirsty.. Well, my humps are certainly heavy.  Sometimes I wish I could just wait for the next oasis like you. I guess we all have our problems. Just like you follow my orders, I follow the Lord's commands. I am not a free man. Where are we traveling to? We are to take these bedsheets to the Lady of Novaria. Our lord is trying to negotiate with her and he figured an offering would help him get his way. The Lady of Novaria?  My joints will ache by the time we get here, this is no quick caravan! I am sorry, loyal companion. Lately I have been thinking about running away and joining the other merchants we can see in the distance, over there. Well, I never signed any contract.  I'll follow wherever you lead.  Might be more interesting with those merchants. You would follow me? I don't think I could make it without you.  Anywhere!  It must be better than Novaria. Let's stop for the night, then. The desert is already getting colder. Tomorrow we have a long walk ahead of us.  Sounds good for me.  Deserts can be tiring, even for camels.
