At school everyone was taught about one particular myth, about a desert wanderer. Many say that this person shows up to people in need, whilst being in the desert. Some say he helped with problems they tried running away from, others with finding a water source and getting directions to leave the desert. The place was humongous and awfully dry with burning temperatures, which make this myth seem unbelievable.

This mysterious person always fascinated Toya. Every time there was a project about myths he’d study about this wanderer. He wishes him to be real and to see him with his own two eyes. Yet this split-colour haired boy never went out himself, to not put himself into unnecessary danger.

One time his class went on a trip to see sand dunes, learn s bit of geography and then to get ice cream. Unfortunately Toya got fascinated by the terrain and went exploring by himself. When he lost the group and met some classmates they lied to him that the class went further into the desert to look at the views from tall dunes. They said that he’ll easily spot them and they got an excuse to not go with him. Toya didn’t think much of it and went and went and went, until he noticed he’s actually lost in the middle of nowhere.
