She was back there again, the accusations leaving her stunned. She
hadn't known what to respond with, had let herself be bullied even as she
desperately tried to understand why.

Why her pleas had gone unheard.

She shook her head suddenly, frantic to escape the past. It didn't matter
anymore! The roar of the wind returned along with the stinging sand,
scraping raw any part of her flesh that was not covered. She welcomed the
pain even as she forced her aching muscles to press against the terrible
weight of the storm again. The dune seemed to come apart beneath her though
and she was tumbled back down into the fast filling crevace between the
towering dunes.

Weary and sick of the battle, she resolved to travel as best she could along
the sides of the dunes until she could find a lowering. At least down here,
she was a little more protected from the wind.

...everyone should have a refuge...

Her eyes were watering, her vision already blurry and indistinct with a
combination of severe exhaustion and fine sand grains. The voice stopped
her in her tracks though and left her grasping for reality again. Linot.

...mine lessen by the day...

She did not want this memory. By the Gods, she did not want it! Grabing at
her head, she pushed harder against the wind, driving herself with careless
abandon. It succeeded in distracting her but she knew she was suffering
from dehydration. She was also clearly suffering from sleep deprivation and
was quite aware that it might lead to hallucinations. Sadly, the simple
knowing was not enough to escape what was coming.
