OoC: Okay peoples, I posted first. I will be using Keldar, the link is in my sig.

BiC: I had been wandering for days in the desert. The sands were the color of wheat and seemed to be endless. I had not eaten in over two days and was rapidly losing energy; if I did not find a village soon then I would die. I saw a snake quickly move across my field of vision, but I could not risk using the energy to catch it. The only thing I could do was walk for hours at a time; my body would not let me do anything else until I found some food or water. The sun shone brightly in the clear blue sky, and I could feel its intense heat slowly roast me alive.

After another hour of walking I began to hallucinate. Everywhere I looked I saw an oasis or fountain, only to discover they were actually dead plants or mounds of sand. I stumbled forward in a daze until I eventually fell to the ground and passed out. The last thing I felt before everything went dark was the hot sand on my face.

I woke up on a beach; the sound of the ocean crashing against the sand filled my ears. I could feel the sun’s warmth on my skin and I managed to open my eyes. I felt my face and felt sand covering it completely, I brushed most of it off before I stood up to examine my surroundings.

The ocean was calm and I could see millions of fish swimming in the water. Most of the fish were exotic and brightly colored. Their scales reflected the light and made them look like glowing balls of light dancing just below the surface of the water. The other fish were plain looking; they had dull grey scales and were slow and stupid in the water.

I couldn’t control myself any longer, my hunger became too much to endure and I found myself jumping into the water and quickly grabbing several of the fish with my bare hands. I was too hungry to cook them and began to devour them with incredible speed. Within a few minutes I had eaten all of them down to the bone and began to look for water. I walked over to the ocean and drank some, I was aware that drinking salt-water is bad for you, but at that point I didn’t really care. I found that the water was actually fresh-water. I dunked my head into the vast fresh-water ocean and began to drink.

The cool refreshing liquid trickled down my throat and felt my energy and strength returning. I pulled my head out of the water and dried myself off with my robe sleeve. I decided to step into the water and get my feet wet and cool them off. I just realized that they had been walking on incredibly hot sands for the past few days. I shuddered at the thought of what they must have looked like and decided not to look at them. I stepped into the water and instantly got the feeling in my feet back.

It didn’t matter how I got to this beach, all that mattered was that it was paradise compared to the desert. It seemed as if nothing could ruin this for me. Unfortunately, I was wrong. After a few minutes of standing in the water I saw a figure moving towards me. I drew my katana and faced the figure head on.

OoC: Oh and I am only saying this because it happens a lot. Keldar has never and will never refer to himself as the Demon Spawn. Just making it clear.
