Those eyes were still so clear, as if they could see straight into the soul. Somehow, this clarity made Andrew a little uneasy.
When they first entered this desert, Andrew was somewhat wary, staying on guard in the dead of night. After all, who knew what might lurk in these desolate sands—perhaps a gang of bandits? In such an uninhabited place, robbing travelers and disposing of their bodies would be all too convenient.

Another night passed.
