Shepherd Boy P.O.V.

Seu'el had had enough of his baby sister. He left the room, he left his home, he walked out from the caves of El Saud and meandered across the cool sands of the desert Kha'ul Lam. As it was night, he did not need the mesh of hide and skin and intestine that allowed his people to travel farther out into the waterless lands of the Kha'ul. He simply wore his robes and gloves and boots. He meandered here and there, not too far from the rocky upshoot that housed his people from time to time. It was a compound, a barracks of sorts, a resting place in the southern-most reaches of their seasonal wandering. Seu'el decided to rest at the oasis.

a few moments ago

Even as Seu'el breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the sounds of movement and, looking up at the nearest ridge of sand, he saw a most incredible sight: a man and a woman, half naked, jumping about like beasts, scratching at themselves until they jumped into the pond of the oasis! The two strangers waded in the pool even as Seu'el stared with wide eyes. Then they noticed him. They left the waters of the pond and the boy couldn't help but think: Wow, that woman is a babe!

Then the woman spoke: "Eye m hastrra'h han meye phren iz kald frd wat iz dis plaes."

Seu'el was amazed, he had never heard such gibberish before. He shrugged uncomprehendingly.

1. Suddenly Fred screams as he feels something slithering within his wet clothing!
2. Bringing strangers to their home was against the Law, so Seu'el got up and ran westward (away from his people's outpost) until he was sure he could divert his tracks. Then he swiftly made his way back home ready to alert his people to the strangers.
