Akello blinked in confusion but widened her wings, slowing down. She looked down, the desert sand swirling below her and gasped. Beige. As far as the eyes could see. As she finally touched the ground she landed gracefully and her eyes darted around for the hunt. She grabbed a handful of hot sand and sprinted over to Tsuki, peeking warily inside the hut. Tsuki ran in and fell asleep instantly, leaving Akello with her own silence. Sliding down the door frame, she sighed, heavy lids watching the sand swirl around like a whirlpool.
