With the storm of dust and sand approaching, Arubek decides to go underground to escape the wailing winds. Observing his surroundings as he continues, he notices an Oasis next to a cave. Arubek had no food, no water, only a sack and scraps of clothes and trinkets. As he approaches, he notices a slightly blue slime covering the grass and sands around oasis.

He enters the cave, same goo on the course walls of the cave. He sits, back to the wall and peers out towards the sands. The storm arrives in a hurricane of sediment sands, just out of reach but it's eye and walls are completely visible to Arubek. There, he sees a majestic hawk soaring the outer walls of moving sand. It caws within the torrent of gravel and dust following it.

 Arubek, pleased with the sight of a true hunter, begins to plan a small trinket dedicated to this bird. As he begins the planning stages, he hears a voice, soft and subtle, from deeper within the cave. The slime from the walls begin to sink into a large blob. The voice is heard again, muffled and quiet. The slime blob begins to take shape into what appears to be a thick, though not fat, human female.

The lizardman tilts his head at the slime girl. She tilts back. He switches sides of the tilt to get a better look, she does the same thing. This continues for thirty full minutes until the slime girl says something, "Hello."

"Hello", Arubek replies. His tail waves back and forth in the sands until it rests pointing to his side.

The two awkwardly stare at each other, not entire sure what to think. For the slime, there was a naked lizard man in front of her. For the lizard man, desert just talked to him. It was not a pleasant moment.

"What's the outside world like?", the slime said, trying to break tension.

Arubek looks back outside the cave. "It's covered in sand", he replied.

"I could see that. Is it all like that?"

"I have no traveled far, so I cannot say."

"Who are you?"

"I'm a talking fish."

"Really? That's so co-"

"No, not really."

"Oh. Who are you?"

"I'm just a lizard man... looking for something."

"Like what?"

"Nothing important right now."

"Ok. Tell me about the outside world.

"Well... the high elves are still xenophobes and they still keep dark elves as slaves. The dwarves in the earthern underground have a lot going on right now. Orc invasion, none of my concern."

"Sounds cool. I bet some adventurers are going to help out both those!"

"Many do."

"Tell me more!"

"Well, the Ruined Lands have the two city states trying to destroy each other. Humans."

"Never change."

"Yup.
