"What will happen to me?" he freaked out. he don't even know where he was. He can't help but just blame his bad luck which was going worst.

"WHERE I AM?!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun was shining brightly in the sky. Everything was agitated by the heat of the sun. Looking far away, the desert itself was visible. For three days, three days in a row, Valt was going on. He doesn't even know where he's going. He hoped that he could see the land, but after three days when he did not see the ground, he almost gave up hope.

He was tired. In the burning sun, he could feel his whole body getting warm. Also, his armour made it difficult for him to walk.

He could have taken off his armour, but there was a reason to keep wearing it. He was afraid that if he came across a strange creature on the way, there was only armour that could protect him from attacks.

"Stop. I don't have the guts anymore." He falls to his knees saying to himself.  He feels dizzy. It's like he will faint anytime. "I can't, I can't-" He was repeating his words again and again as like he was unconscious.  He still has the will to find a place where at least he can stay. He can't give up even if he wants. He doesn't want to die in a big hot desert. He stands up and balance himself and start walking again, repeating his words, 'I can' and so on. 

An hour later, he sits in a hole that is made of sand.  He plan to rest a bit as he was walking for a long hour without eating or drinking. 

"What the heck is this place." he just yelled at his sentence. "I don't have water or anything to eat though, but I guess I can afford it," he hears the loud sound of his stomach just after finishing his sentence, "or maybe not." He hugged his knees and rest his head between his knees. 

Maybe it's stupid to think about death, but in that situation, even the greatest warrior will do the same. He was not afraid of death. everyone has to die someday. More than scared, he was confused.

It's obvious to be confused when suddenly a dragon attacked your kingdom and you went to fight the dragon with the whole army and when you attacked the dragon, a portal open from nowhere and slam you at an unknown place where is nothing but desert.

Tremors were going on on Valt's mind. He felt heavy. His eyelids closed and soon, everything turned black. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Valt open his eyes just when the beam of light hit his face. The sky went darker by the time. It was night and at the night, there are very many chances of being prey to demons or carnivorous creatures. "Did I just sleep? Oh no, It's not good." he heard the loud growl of hyenas and noises of different creatures. "How? there is not even a jungle, then from where these noises are coming from?" 

He thought for a minute and suddenly an idea hit his mind. "If these noises are coming from a close distance then it means there is a forest near here. How's about following the noises." He starts following the way where the noises are coming from.

In a few moments, he stopped. He feels weird. He was realising that the noises are not coming from anywhere but from the land below his feet. "what the heck?"  the earth starts trembling below his feet. He maintained his balance and look after. "What's now?!" suddenly he saw something behind him which make him shocked and tremble in fear.

 A strange thing starts coming out from under the ground. It didn't take Valt long to recognize what that thing was. "Oh no, no, NO! It's an Aracha!" he starts running for his life. He never thought that he will encounter one of the dangerous creatures of the desert at night time.
