Dust in the Desert

Once upon a time, I was dust. I haunted the shadows, my survival tied to what little I could steal.

Once upon a time, I refused the darkness. I traded my life to save another, sparing him the cruel fate that was rightly mine.

Once upon a time, I was sent to my death. There, my destiny found me, and the world I knew changed forever with a secret long-buried by the sands.
