  The group wandered in a seemingly aimless direction, as the sun rose into the sky. They made every effort to walk as their chitin-plated guide had taught them, though the Ghorfas seemed to be much more natural at it than Naruun and Hayk. Their guide, Bat'tan had tried to teach them in a few minutes all of the things he had learned in his years in the desert, and Hayk had rubbed succulent oil on himself to mask his human scent; even the Ghorfas' lizard-dog had to be slathered in the stuff.

  Suddenly, Bat'tan stopped, and held up a hand, signalling for the rest of the group to do the same.

'Kait-Chak is close now.' Without warning, Bat'tan let out a strange call that rose in pitch, then became a scream. The sandpeople gripped their weapons tightly, and shifted on their feet uneasily. The massif darted towards a small rock outcrop where it's masters stood. The sand began to vibrate, then ripples started forming as if they were standing in some kind of liquid. Then the ground went still for a moment. For what seemed like the shortest eternity, all was quiet and calm.

  When the moment had passed, the ground erupted into a whirlwind of sand, and with it, rose a massive head. All Hayk could see before him was a wide, gaping mouth, numerous horns, strange large eyes, and teeth nearly as big as himself.

  Naruun looked at Hayk, then said, as calmly as he could muster, 'I hope you brought the explosives, kid.'
