Chapter 32: Lost in Sands

I'm so sorry. I said I was going to do this on Wednesday but I got held up. Grade 10 seems more hectic than I thought. I had no energy once I got home so I'm updating on your typical Friday. Wattpad, i actually updated last Friday on fanfic.net. The wifi didn't seem to work a little while after I did it so I was left in dark times *shivers*. So i really apologise

The blazing hot sun scorched the sands of the dunes below as the party baked resting in one spot. Kizuna was busy on a small watch tower looking to the distance. He turned off his skill in disappointment.

"Anything?" Lumino asked. The blonde just shook his head and sighed. The raven lay down on the sands and looked to the artificial sun in frustration. "Guys...Just how did we get stuck in the desert again?"

"Scarlet. Why are we here?" Lumino asked.

"I heard something about there being ruins on this floor," the redhead said. (A/N: Hahaha)

"From what I'm guessing ruins = treasure in your mind. So what, they may have already been searched. There's a chance we won't find anything," Yami said.

"True. But there could also be something valuable," she shot back. She then looked to Lumino who immediately caught the message.

"A Royal Arm in here? It's worth a shot to look for but..."

"Then why wait? Let's go!" Scarlet said running off into the dunes. The rest followed the girl.

"Well we found the ruins but didn't find any tombs. Where did we go from then?" the raven asked.

"We were planning to find a settlement. Without any teleport crystals or chocobos, we've had to walk. Home is too far away so we set out on finding Ruffian," Kizuna explained.

"Unfortunately, nobody has found Ruffian and the merchant earlier ran off screaming when we asked," Tsukino added.

"Right. 'Home of the Bandits.' No wonder nobody has found it. Okay, we'll find it and warp to Home immediately when we do find it. Kizuna, any idea's where it is?" Kizuna brought up his map and skimmed it. He sighed. Since floor 25 was a desert, there were no canyons or paths apart from the one leading to the dungeon.

"What about here?" Lily asked pointing to an area in the south west. "This place looks like it has water."

"How could you tell?" Kizuna asked.

"This spot is a little darker than the rest of the map."

"Guess it's a little hard to see what with the sun burning us from up there. Lumino, we have to go that way." Kizuna said pointing to the left.

"Direct opposite of Home huh. Dammit Kayaba," Lumino muttered jumping off the watch tower. "Alright, let's go."

The party started to walk down the gentle slope of sand. They didn't dare run as the desert did get dehydrating fast and running on sand was very difficult. "What I wouldn't give for a dirt bike," Ronen whispered.

"Can you even drive one?" Raiden asked.

"Is driving one the same in this game as in real life?"
