Go to the City of Sheba.

Cesar & Janissa tally the votes, with everyone except Sakura voting for the trip to the city. Once that was done, Cesar made the trip to Freeport, where there was a Sheban merchant airship that making a cargo stop. The merchant was busy trading silks & spices from the Dragon Continent, and fine weapons and woven carpets from Sheba, in exchange for goods to take back to the desert city. With the contact in hand, Cesar made the proper arrangements for the guild to ride on the return trip to the city.

(Three days later)

"Goddess!" Jasmine speaks out, fanning herself, as she downs a jug of water. "I know how hot it can get in the desert, but I never thought it would feel this hot."

"The air feels very moist, too, Jasmine." Janissa tells her, downing a jug of water herself. "Add that to the heat, and it feels alot hotter than it otherwise should be."

"Maybe it's my Northman bloodline that is adding to the ordeal." Jasmine tells Janissa. "Perhaps if I was of Full Amazon blood, I would tolerate this kind of heat better."

Indeed, even at the altitude of around 2,000 meters, and hugging the shoreline, the guild members could still feel the heat & the humidity above one of the many rolling dunes of The Great Desert. There are very few known routes to the many oasis, and the handful of villages and cities like Sheba. Most ground trade routes either hug the shoreline, or slither from one canyon, to another. After all, any trek along the rolling dunes are treacherous, and most people that attempt to do so, get lost pretty easily, and eventually die.

Fortunately, the merchant airship made a recent stop at an oasis, to stock up on fresh water, and trade some of the goods from Freeport, with a nearby village, for some local food. But it still didn't help that some of the guild members--especially Jasmine--were busy trying to stay cool & hydrated. Cesar could see the sweat beading down Jasmine's skin, making the thin cloth layer of her sleeveless tunic cling to her skin. If it wasn't for her thin leather bikini suit underneath, the crewmen would have a difficult time paying attention to their tasks at hand. So he went over to her, and helped her shed the sweat-laden tunic, exposing her two-piece black leather bikini set to the air.

"That should help you some, Jasmine." Cesar tells her.

"But won't the crewmen--" Jasmine asks him.

"--they will mind their own business, Jasmine." Cesar tells her, as he rolls the tunic, and tosses it to Janissa, who brings it into the cabin. "The captain has a strict policy on crewmen interacting with passengers, especially the guild."

"I hope so." Jasmine tells Cesar, grinning a bit, as she takes the fan with the other hand, and continues to fan herself off, using her free hand to touch Cesar's abdomen. "I like how bronzed and toned your body is."

"If you're thinking about sex, Jasmine," Cesar tells her, "then it's best to wait until nightfall. It may still be pretty hot when the moons are out, but at least we should get a pretty cool breeze by then."

"You know I am, Cesar." Jasmine gives him a smile, and then stands up, wrapping her arms around him, and smooches him on the lips.

"I know what you're thinking, Jasmine, as my Elven ears overheard your talk with Cesar." Janissa interrupts gently, wrapping her arms around Cesar from behind. "If you're going to have sex with him, then you're going to have share him with me tonight, and that is an order."
