Took A Ride

"Hey look, CAMELS!" Knightin Gale yelled and ran with a swift. "Cama what now?" Strike and Mike asked at the same time. "Aren't they so adorable? Who's the cute camel...yes you are mister" Knightin Gale started to play with the camel. Then suddenly out of nowhere. "Hold it there missy! Ya messing with ma children".

(Are you insane!?, the human doesn't breed camel! It was just a phrase; to mention he's caring for the camels as his own children)

"I'm really sorry sir. Honest. I didn't mean it". She apologized to the stranger. Strike bumped into the middle and asked, "Sorry to bother you, sir..." "Who the hell are you!?" the stranger asked back. Strike also didn't like people interrupting his chances, so he looked a wee bit mad at the stranger and said "My name is Strike Kin Ace. Anyway, I was trying to ask you..." in the same way the stranger asked. "...Strange old man, that we've never met before". Strike pointed a considerable point of information

The stranger replied. "Oops! Where are my manners? I'm just a wandering trader. The name is Tahim. These camels are the only ones I have. I'm renting them for affordable prices". "Wow! I never knew you can rent camels." Mike said to himself but Knightin Gale noticed. So as to tease him... "You've never been to a dessert. So, of course, you don't". "Oh yeah. Thanks for reminding" Mike acted as if he's too dumb.

Actually, Mike isn't that stupid, he's kind of a crazy person. But he also cares about stuff as much as Strike. After all, he is Strike's best friend. Strike catches the part 'wondering trader', so he asked politely from Tahim, "Mr Tahim, do you happen to know a place, that me and my friends here, can arrive by going three miles past Ziko and five miles North?" The trader listened closely "Let me see...3 miles after Ziko and 5 miles North!? That's a dead-end pal. Anyway you wanna ride there? 300 silver per camel for travellers not knowing their destinations". Tahim tried to change the talk. At this moment Knightin Gale took a minute to think about the 'dead end' part and said "That's weird. Dead end... sure I heard it someplace else. I just can't point it" She said. "Well that's funny cause I was wondering the same thing," Strike replied. "Didn't that ninja guy say something like, 'find the well, meet the end' something" Mike reminded. Strike happily said, "Okay Tahim. You have a deal of two camels. But we can't travel back. How do we return the camels?" "Finally I found myself a buyer! Oh don't worry, when you are done with your ride, rub their nose, and say 'return to papa' then they'll come on their own. Treat them well for me. Give and manage these two sacks of water. These sacks are for the camels not for you people. Further advice. Your journey will be at least two to three days. To manage the water in the sacks". Mike jumped and gave the money. "Don't you worry trader. We'll go there and return your camels". He said.

Knightin Gale and Strike went on one camel andMike on the other; they started their journey to the unknown place. "Hey, Mike, how much money do we have now?" Knightin Gale asked. Mike laughed for seconds, stopped and said "None!" he said. "WHAT!?" she asked. "Well then, we have to find a place to sleep it's about to be dark soon. And this hot floor will reduce its temperature by 27 to 30 degrees. And yes! NG, though I've never been to a desert I studied about their terrains" Strike said and answered the question Knightin Gale was about to ask. "WAIT! Do you mean if we keep riding we will be frozen to death!? Are you SERIOUS!?" Mike asked. "There's a higher chance,"Knightin Gale said and continued. "And if we didn't make a campfire we have to stay awake ALL NIGHT LONG and if we sleep without a campfire, we'll freeze to death as you mentioned. Plus, the camels need to rest and take some water. AND we came so far for the first day as a fact for the bright side". "Look over there! It's a mini oasis. Let's go there, make a camp under those trees, refill all the water sacks and take a nice rest and continue our journey first thing tomorrow. And it should be done before sunrise. Understood team?" Strike said. "Roger that Strike" Knightin Gale and Mike said.
