Alex spent a few more weeks in the prison, with a handful of visits from the chief's daughter as his only source of entertainment.
And it seemed he was her source of entertainment as well.
The chief had ignored her request, it seemed, but that was to be expected. Now, she only came here to talk whenever she was frustrated with her situation, or anxious about it all.
He was an outlet for her to lay out all of her problems. And Alex was an excellent listener.
She also wanted to learn more about him, so he told her. He told her exactly how he had come by her, how he had been dragged away by the Prison wall in the sky, never knowing where he had ended up.
It wasn't until she mentioned that the inner desert was to the northeast that Alex finally realized that he had been teleported somewhere far to the west. It was the complete opposite direction of where he had been visiting from.
