"Ndomi's Secret Lost Desert Mission" by drgnswor

The horizon seemed endless to poor Ndomi who wiped the two droplets of sweat that were making their way down either side of her head.

She checked her satchel and picked up her almost empty water bottle. “I know what I’d be wishing for,” the Green Gelert muttered between laboured breaths as she took a tiny little sip.Why on Neopia did I agree to help Sankara, Ndomi thought ruefully. She didn’t even like going outside Sakhmet City, let alone the barren and hostile desert beyond it yet she had agreed to this difficult task.
