We had to cross the
desert north in the pursuit of the Gorgon. The sun was bright, the sand
so hot. We climbed the hills standing on the way, and from the top we
could see the majestic mountains to the north-west and an empire
settlement near the shore. Fresh water was the dream for everyone, may
be except the. Al-Diraque was an Empire town, famous centre of trading
and learning. People around were whispering of terrible creature passing
north.
