Alexandria hurled himself from very the small hill with his sword gripped firmly in his right hand. The kingdom beyond the desert was still very far away and since the damned beasts were moving towards them, it meant they hadn't gotten to the kingdom yet.
As he ran, he tried his very best to avoid the creatures streaming in straight lines towards the other side of the hill. They were like mindless beings without a mind of their own, controlled telepathically by another supreme being. Alexandria continued creeping beside them. He figured it was best to observe them from a distance but that wasn't possible when there were two long lines of those things on either side of him all streaming to the same location.
He walked slowly, occasionally glancing at both sides to check. He was still going when suddenly, a dry breeze blew itself across the desert...and the creatures stopped moving.
