Sands of Destiny > #4

Amira
We can't just sit here and do nothing, Jamal! Ahmed needs to pay for what he's done.
Jamal
I understand your anger, Amira, but rushing into a confrontation won't solve anything.
Amira
What do you suggest we do then? Just let him get away with stealing the map and causing Professor Ali's death?
Jamal
No, of course not. But we need to be smart about it. We need a plan, not just blind revenge.
Amira
I don't care about plans right now, Jamal. I care about justice.
Jamal
And I care about staying alive. We can't take on Ahmed alone. We need help.
Amira
Help? Who can we trust out here in the desert?
Jamal
I know someone who might be able to assist us. He's a local guide named Malik. He knows this desert like the back of his hand.
Amira
You want to trust our mission to a stranger?
Jamal
Malik is no stranger. He's helped many adventurers navigate this treacherous land. We'll be safer with him by our side.
Amira
I still think we should confront Ahmed ourselves. We can't afford to waste any more time.
Jamal
Time is exactly what we need, Amira. Time to regroup, plan, and ensure a successful mission. Trust me, it's the best way forward.
Amira
Fine, but we better not waste too much time. Ahmed won't stay in one place forever.
Jamal
Agreed. Let's find Malik and strategize our next move. We'll bring Ahmed down, Amira, but we'll do it together.
Amira
Together. That's the only way we'll succeed.
Jamal
Exactly. Now let's go find Malik and get on the path to justice.
Amira and Jamal set off in search of Malik, their discussion echoing through the desert as they forge an unlikely alliance, fueled by their shared determination and a thirst for justice.
