As you stumble across that barren desert desperate for a sign of any living being, you notice something in the distance. A silhouette of something not far from your line of site, but the sandy winds obstruct your view. A cactus? A person? Judging by the size of the shave, it was a Deku, or maybe a Bokoblin. As you venture closer to the object, it comes into view... and greets you!

"Hello."

That was all that it spoke. It was a human, or so it seemed, and she was down on her knees on a red and yellow rug. Surrounding her were a few vases and pots, but nothing more. Just a small old woman sitting in the sand in the far reaches of the desert. She wore a hood, but her facial features could easily be distinguished. Her nose was missing, and in its place, two nostril holes found their home just below the center of her face. Her eyes were only blackened holes- it would seem she was blind.

"It takes a brave one to venture out in the desert... Alone."

She paused, and one had to wonder how she spoke so well with such a grotesque smile. The corners of her lips stretched to the far ends of each side of her face, and her teeth were showing wide. Strangely enough, they were bright white, as if she took good care of them. For as old as she looked, it was impressive that she had each and every one of her teeth to begin with. From underneath the hood, no hair could be seen, and it would appear to you that she'd already lost all of her hair. What was most peculiar is that an old woman was just sitting around in the middle of a sandstorm, and furthermore she didn't seem to mind it.

"You are... Alone... correct?"

She asked, building on her last words. Her eyes pierced yours, and many thoughts would be running through anyone's head in your position. Could she want to help you? Might it be a clever trap in disguise? But she was so old... Surely she could do no harm to a seasoned soldier such as yourself? Right?
