I point eastwards. Towards the ocean. Flawlessly.

I silently agree and we start to wearily head in the way of that horizon.

Hours and hours of walking leave us dead tired, and no village comes in sight. I'm starting to feel my legs aching from the effort, and the sun that's beaming down on us makes me feel dizzy and sick.

I try to wave my hand to get a fly away from my face, but the strength for that is soon gone.
All I can hope for is that night will come soon..

I'm hungry and I'm hurting and shaky and exhausted. I glance aside to Crystal to see how she's doing.

I can feel his eyes upon me and turn my head back towards him... I try to speak but nothing comes out. I need sleep.
I promise myself that when we pass the next tree in our path we'll stop to rest beneath its branches.

I clench my hands into fists, carrying on by the strenght of determination only.
