Sheikh Mahmoud: Maids you will be in charge to the palace and of course my daughter.

-Before even Sheikh Mahmoud left, Princess Ayah already got her camel and went out of the kingdom unguarded-

Princess Ayah: Finally the fresh air of the desert, and real cactus, not like those paintings that are not even authentic, ugh!

(Jack's POV)

While Jack was still scouting a group of bandits came and beat Jack, Jack tried to shoot the bandits but his gun had no ammo, so he was left unconscious.

Bandit 1: Well he got to have a coin somewhere in his shirt

Bandit 2: Or maybe at the pocket groin

Bandit 1: Ugh let's just leave

The Bandits then left Jack dying at the hot desert
