hree men were walking down the hill. The wind was blowing harshly at them. They were
going to the immortal desert.
‘Are we there yet? Your majesty,’ a man said deeply.
‘I think we are here, your majesty, ’ said another man.
‘We are here, we will never die.’ said a man who was called the Majesty. But they didn’t notice
as a big hand grabbed them and pull them into the sand …poof! Everything disappeared. The
desert turned back to serenity.
‘Oh mine I can’t believe we are going to a desert, that is very near the legendary Immortal
Desert!’ A boy in blue T-shirt and shorts shouted out.
‘Nick, did you hear about the tale, right?’ said a girl wearing a yellow dress.
‘Do you believe it? Nick replied.
‘We are going to a party, not going to a adventure to the Immortal desert which is fiction!’
said Sarah, who was reading the inflight magazine.
Nick, Mike, Rachel, and Sarah are four best friends from high school. They are heading out to
the Immortal Desert for a party held by a rich friend, Richard. He invited them to the party at his
newly renovated resort.
‘Please buckle your seatbelts. We are going to land.’ said the pilot. ‘Can’t wait for the party!’
said Rachel.
As they arrived the resort, there was a man standing next to the security guard. He was
telling the guard about something. Nick heard him saying ‘leave this place, the monster is hungry,
or it will be too late!’ The guard said to the man: ‘It’s just a fable!’ the guard walked away. Nick
asked the man: ‘Who is the demon? And who are you?’ The man said: ‘I will tell you in a dream.’
When they went back to their rooms, it was already late, so they all went to bed, except Nick,
who kept thinking about what the man said to him. Soon, Nick fell asleep. He had a dream. Just
like what the man said. He dreamt that he was talking with the man at the Immortal desert.
The man said: ‘I know you think I am strange, but you have to hear my story then you can save
the others.’ The man said with a deep voice. Nick thought, ‘Help others? Are you kidding me?’
The man said ‘Please listen! I am an explorer, I’ve heard the tale for a long time, and wanted to
explore it. At first I found a local minibus that can take me to the immortal desert. I got there
safely and nothing odd happened but suddenly a young girl appeared and said: ’Welcome to the
Immortal desert, but soon you will be dead.’ Suddenly, her hand grabbed my neck. I begged that
girl to give me three days to give warnings to other people so then I will let her decide my fate.
The girl sighed and said;’ Alright, but only an hour per day you may go out, the rest of the time
you have to stay with me. Tomorrow is my last day to escape…’ the man sigh and said: ‘Every 100
year, the sand monster will come out of its cave to devour humans. I don’t know why it let a girl
turns to an evil possessed. When the monster’s appetite is insatiable, it will leave the desert, and
devour other people. ‘But how can we save you and the other people?’ asked Nick. ‘Please find the
weeping angel so you might find the witch there. She can let her faint for fifteen minute to avoid
