[POV: KiRA.]
When you think about a vast desert, do you only imagine a vast wasteland covered in sand, or dunes in the distance?
'Not even a normal desert is limited to these things.'
The heat that stings on your bare skin, the heat that penetrates through your clothes and burns your body, the heaviness you feel with each step you take, the hot winds that hit your face…
The normal desert is a hell on earth, a survival zone where living, surviving, and thriving becomes a game of life and death.
'Demons love deserts. The High demons love heat, the demons of different sins love the different aspects of their sin represented in the desert, while the demon kings enjoy the warmth of the desert sand.'
They watch you starve, they smile at your misery. When you're dying of thirst, they are planning to offer you a ray of hope.
Some play games with you and show you mirages. You see water, an oasis that isn't even there.
