Description
I'm not sure how long I've been walking, now. Weeks, months... a damn long time. It's certainly been that long since I've seen another living soul. I should have listened to the Elders and just stayed back home; the Desolation is definitely not something to be taken lightly, even if the rumors are true, and there is something better on the other side.

I passed through some of the ruins from the time before the Catastrophe, today. No one's been here for a long time. Nothing but prickle-bush and long-ears, now. I can't help but wonder what the people who lived here were like, if they even saw it coming... Were they aware that their world was coming to a violent, sudden end? Or did they just wake up one morning to find civilization having collapsed into a pile of gleaming bones, baking in the heat of a sun more vicious than any they'd ever known? Was this place a desert before? It could have been a beach town, and the bowl of the Desolation the seafloor?

I don't know. I guess I'll never know. All I can do now is keep moving forward, hoping that the rumors are true. I've come too far to go back now.
