The Twisted Sands- Chapter 2 By Swamp Guy

They sat by a fire, lazily cooking meat. The kapros and Thorny Dragons dozed in the hot sun.

“Get up, you.” A voice startled Nox, waking him up. The others were bound and gagged.

“Who are you?” One of them asked in a strong Australian accent.

“Kai.”

“Jenny.”

“Slav.”

“Chiron.”

“Nox.”

“Cutter.”

“Sandspike.”

“Quill.”

“Snork....snore....what’s going on?” Pouncer woke up, rubbing her eyes.

“We’ve heard of you.” They said. “We saw you fall from the sky.”

“Who are you?” Chiron asked.

“Kalo.” The first one said.

“Xencrixeir.” The other one said. “But just call me 89.”

“We need your help.” Kalo said.

—————————

Kalo and 89 had built a massive fortress in the dunes that lined the ARK. Turrets were set up. Massive...dragons? Kai was puzzled. The dragon they fought back on the island was obviously never meant to be tamed. Large bugs with sword hands, giant moths, camel-like dinos, more Thorny Dragons, cute little mouse things... this place was very different from the home Kai had known.

“Do you recognize this person?” 89 held up a piece of paper. On it was a familiar face.

A familiar, corrupted, malformed, face.

“Haphis!” Jenny gasped.

“So you do know him.” Kalo said.

“Unfortunately, yes.” Kai sighed. “You want us to help take him down?”

89 replied with a laugh. “There’s a few things you need to learn about the desert.”
