I traveling with a group of salt traders. Man the salt these people here trade are really smelly and taste, um really salty. Now you might think well It's salt so It's supposed to taste like that. I'm telling you this stuff is like saltier than the three oceans put together. And trust me that does not taste very good. But It's really smooth and when I say It's smooth, It's smooooooooth.
It look a lot like sand and these guys keep the top of the pile in the crates super flat. It's almost like it's just for show. And only certain people are allowed to get the salt when they're cooking. So I went to check out why they are so stricked about this salt thing. Uh ooh looks like they're smuggling weapons through the city gates.
Now we have a problem and if they get caught I'll get in trouble too!!. And the guards at the city gates won't even think to search there, so I guess I'll have to steal a guards outfit and um... catch the badish guys. And I'm only saying badish because there are kids with this group. And even if they didn't know they'll still get punished. Even if they're like what maybe only 3-6 , and they wouldn't even stand a chance. So much for a smooth ride with these guys.
Uh oh looks like the traders have just became traders. You know what the best part of this is? they have weapons and I don't. I mean that's crazy, I always have my sword. Well almost always have it with me. And they've already killed the guards, ransacked some homes, and set my on fire. But luckily I got away and put the fire out just before it reached my flesh.
Just before and I mean right when it burn through my armor. Then some crazy suicidal person comes out of an ally way and tries to spear me. I mean who would try that on a guard? anyway I have to stop these people and save the town. Well saving the town is proving to be hard and oh wait a minute Hi yah!!!!, ok now that was a close one. AHH!!! ...... Man these guys must have a secret ingredient for courage because they won't stop attacking me!!. the police here are yearning for victory but aren't really doing anything. The rebels have a miscellaneous of weapons and aren't affraid to use them at all.

M4
I'm traveling with a very peevish caravan that seems to have lost many companions on the road.They're animal traders and they've got a lot of herders with very sharp goads. As the sun loomed over the horizon our caravan was on the move again and would only stop to feed the animals once every two or three hours. The camels can move for a long time before they need water but only so far before they need food. Our caravan traveled back with a brood of animals but the all of a sudden a sand storm struck from the south. You know what the best part is, we got caught right in the middle of the whole thing.
I could hardly breath and it was amazing how the Arabians could set up some small tents for us to sleep in. When I finally got in a tent my eyes were full of sand and every time I tried to close them it felt like glass was being shoved into my eyes. I fell asleep and when I awoke I found myself staring at an upright lizard, then I realized I was still hallucinating. I went outside to see if the storm was over yet because my ears were still full of sand.
That was a mistake I will never forget because when I opened the tent flaps about 20 pounds of sand fell on me and of course I got knock out. I was surprised I didn't break my neck but I'm thankful I didn't because whatever's coming up next these people are going to need my help. Whew I finally got most of the sand out of my ears and the storm's so loud sometime I wish I'd left the sand in my ears. Well now that I'm all better I have to help keep the herd from wandering off somewhere.
The wind outside is horrible and I wonder how those tents can stay up in this weather. They could be torn up from the sand or at least blown away from the wind. Earthier way I don't think any of us can out live this storm if we don't have these tents up. Or if any of us will make it out alive through this storm. At least I got some goggles to protect my eyes when I went out for watch duty but the scarf covering my face doesn't help very much and usually gets in my way.
Well the storm FINALLY!!! cleared up and the sun was as bright as ever, especially since we were trapped in that horrible storm. My eyes stung like someone was sticking needles into my eyes as they were adjusting to the brightness. We made it back to the village with only a few casualties and lost about 3-6 animals. The village had a great feast and as the moon loomed over the mountains I was able to sneak away without anyone noticing.
