Towards the jungle

Though a hike through the desert in any direction would be hazardous, you eventually reason that the jungle is a likely place to find survivors. Survivors. Just the thought that someone didn't make it sends a shiver down your spine, but the reality of the situation is all the more reason to start moving. At any rate, there's bound to be someone out there who can help.

With that in mind, you begin the lengthy descent down the pyramid steps to the baking sand below. Unbreakable or not, this heat is hard to bear. But rather than mourn for your busted canteen, you continue to trudge forward into the seemingly endless dunes.

After what feels like hours, you dare to glance back, only to discover that the wind and sand have conspired to sweep away your footprints! With no evidence left of your progress, you slowly begin to second guess your approach. "There's got to be an easier way," you mumble to yourself. Coming to a halt, you once more shield your eyes from the blazing light to try and take in your surroundings, hoping to find something to break the monotony.

Much to your surprise, there seems to be a dark shape in the near distance! But from here, it's hard to decipher just what it actually is. There's always the possibility of running across some sand dwelling beast, but at the rate things are going, would it be worth the wait to avoid it? For now, approaching the mysterious shape seems like the best course of action.
