I can't begin to tell of the horrifying dangers that lurk this land.
I had decided to traverse the desert just beyond the forest's edge. A short while into my journey, I found a small ragged village. They offered me to stay the night, but told me in the morning I MUST go back the way I came. I laughed their offer off and continued my trek into the dark and unforgiving desert.
The heat gave no signs of wavering despite the absence of sunlight. Trekking through the blustering sandstorm was hell and I had begun to fear I was going in circles when out of nowhere the storm let up.
All I could see were dunes for miles. And the hollow moon high above.
Suddenly, out of a not so distant dune a huge geyser of sand spewed into the air. Taken aback by this sudden change of pace I stumbled to my knees in the dirt.
What I beheld I am not quite to forget.
From the dunes rose I gigantic worm. One without feature or distinction. As I examined it, I made a peculiar realization. It was cold outside.
The worm turn the furthermost end to face my direction and I saw the marking on it. The circle with the line slashed through it. I've been seeing that everywhere.
Then, as if my realizations shook it, the front end opened to reveal a massive horrific eye. It produced an abnormal light that was two colours at one time. It was then I realized, the light was producing heat. This creature was watching me from beneath the sands.
In a panic I quickly began running back the way I came, rushing to escape the scrutiny of such a mammoth creature.
With a high-pitched shriek, it dove into the sands and was gone.
I made my way back into the sandstorm and back to the village.
On my arrival, the villagers offered me food and praised me. But in the morning I still returned to the forest.
It'll be a long time before I return to the desert but when I do, I need more samples of that monster.

A new idea, for a series of journals written by an explorer. Documenting the wildlife of a certain area to be revealed later. I will try to accompany each entry with an image of the event described.
