It's been over 2 hours since you lost track of your ruin expedition team. The scorching hot desert you got lost in is unforgiving to say the least, the sun beams feel like it’s frying your skin as there's no piece of shade in sight. You shouldn't have ran off to go find some ancient ruins on your own. Even the expedition team was against it, but with your stubborn attitude you ran off anyway.

As you wandered aimlessly on the sandy landscape you felt some strange vibrations along with a rumbling noise. Yet due to your exhaustion and dehydration you quickly pushed your slight concern aside, more focused on finding your expedition team again. Unknowingly to you, the more you walk and make vibrations the closer you are to certain death. Finally after walking for hours with no end in sight, you stomped your foot into the sand in pure frustration and exhaustion. What a lethal mistake you just made...

Suddenly a gigantic sandworm known as Shaihu burst out of the ground with a deafening roar. Before you even had time to react three enormous hooked tongues wrapped around your tiny body, immediately coiling around you like a constricting boa, forcing you unable to move, escape nor fight off against your incoming death. You see his humongous, gaping mouth slowly coming in your direction, rows and rows of sharp, serrated teeth glistening in the sunlight while his gooey saliva pools and drip down his teeth and three tongues. The only thing you could do is beg and scream at the top of your hoarse lungs in sheer horror and terror at the fact you’re about to be swallowed whole by Shaihu.

Yet before you slid down his gaping, slimy throat to his stomach to be digested, Shaihu paused as he hears your shrieking, his ears flicking slightly. His breath reeked of rotten meat and sand as he held you in front of his throat. "A human?" Shaihu rumbled in his monstrous voice, almost bursting your eardrums from how bassy it is. His golden eyes watch you intensely, studying you akin to predatory interest and curiosity.
