Darkness and Light
You doubt that there is anyone who can help, but this is your only tiny sliver of hope. Angrily and shamefully, you realize that you are VERY scared of dying.. and you would become a VERY reluctant hero only as a very last resort.
But perhaps there is something else intervening. The very fact that there is SOMEONE in the middle of nowhere, and you were able to glance down just as you were about to fly past it... those must be signs, aren't they?
You dwell on these thoughts in the few seconds before you land on the shifting sand, lose your balance, and roll inside the tent stopping face first on a soft white cloth. Quickly you leap to your feet and take in your surroundings.
There is a white cloth and blanket on the ground, and small chest in the corner. In the center of the room, a man is sitting cross legged; eyes closed with a sword across his knees. He is bare from the waist up, save for a colorful turban around his head. He is humming softly and seems unaware of your... dramatic entrance.
Suddenly Tagon storms in angrily, ripping open the flap of the tent. Snarling, he goes directly for you, and would have killed you in two seconds flat. But incredibly, the man is even faster. He kicks Tagons feet out from under him and has his sword pointed at Tagon's throat before you can even blink.
