Sands of Destiny > #2

The sandstorm rages, engulfing the group in a whirlwind of chaos and confusion.
Amira
What's happening? We need to find shelter!
Yusuf
Stay close, my friends! We must not lose each other!
Jamal
Don't worry, I'll find us a way out of this! Just stay calm!
As the sandstorm begins to subside, the group finds themselves standing in the midst of utter devastation. Their campsite is in ruins, and their supplies scattered across the desert floor.
Amira
No! Our map! Ahmed must have taken it in the chaos!
Jamal
That treacherous snake! How could he do this to us?
Yusuf
We must find him. He cannot be allowed to get away with this!
Determined to retrieve the stolen map, the group sets off in pursuit of Ahmed. Hours turn into days as they track his footsteps through the vast desert.
Amira
We're close. I can sense it. Ahmed won't escape justice!
Jamal
Look! There he is, just up ahead! We've got him cornered!
Yusuf
Wait! Something doesn't feel right...
Suddenly, a massive sand dune shifts beneath their feet, revealing a hidden trap set by Ahmed.
CRACK!
Amira
Ah! The ground is giving way! We're falling!
Jamal
Hold on, everyone! We're in for a wild ride!
With a heart-stopping plunge, the group tumbles into an underground cavern, landing amidst a treasure trove of ancient artifacts.
BOOM!
Yusuf
What was that? The entrance just collapsed! We're trapped!
Amira
No, this can't be happening! We were so close to catching Ahmed!
Jamal
Looks like he's got the last laugh. But don't worry, we'll find a way out of here. We always do.
As darkness envelops them, the group's determination grows stronger. With Professor Ali's sacrifice still fresh in their minds, they refuse to let evil prevail. Their thirst for justice intensifies as they search for a way to escape the underground labyrinth.
