Skinny and short with long brown straight hair that reached her waist and fluttered in the wind as she moved. Her clothes were very worn, appearing to have been cut or ripped at the sleeves and waist. She looked too fragile to be out here on her own. We didn’t speak for what seemed like hours, just walked on. Exhaustion settled into the depths of my out of shape physique. Everything was barren. No signs of plants or life anywhere. A ground composed of grayish-colored dust crunched beneath my feet with every step. The horizon was full of more lifeless colors, everything except the sky, which still remained a pale red with bright, enormous stars. I didn’t know how I felt. Mostly a numbness consumed me. This was not how I expected Evadere to be, nor anticipated to explore it like this. I thought Emry and I would be walking for miles through endless golden grasses until we reached another beach even more illuminating than the last. I thought this planet was going to be rich with colors, possibly some my eyes had never seen before, a place of wondrous magic and mystery.
