Lassim felt the sun beating down on him as he walked through the endless dunes of the desert.
He had already completed several missions, and now he was on his third one, an escort mission for a merchant caravan traveling from the sect to a city along the northern coast.
The merchant caravan was a colorful assembly of carts and wagons, loaded with tonnes of esoteric materials and minerals provided by the sect to sell for a profit.
Lassim had joined the group at dawn this morning after accepting the mission the previous afternoon, where he greeted the merchants and other hired guards with a nod.

Also, thank you to the power stone voters! There's so many today! charles_edmond, Ryugin, Continuum, richardc2383, Roger_Morris_0838, and kanga_sinniah! I really appreciate every single stone I receive. Please look forward to bonus chapters during the Obon holiday coming up! Thank you again!
Also, sorry if it feels like I'm speeding through these missions. Just not much is happening and I want to have this time pass somewhat quickly to get to the situation that occurs in the next chapter! Hope you enjoy regardless!
