Hearing Sahura's last words, Erend and Eccar exchanged a glance. Eccar, ever the skeptic, furrowed his brow before speaking.
"Do you mean that?" Eccar asked. "Or are you just trying to comfort us?"
Sahura's eyes gleamed with sincerity as she shook her head softly.
"I am genuine," she replied. "There is no reason for you to think you will fail. You possess all the resources for power that others could only dream of. You just need to realize that."
With a graceful sweep of her hand, Sahura gestured around them, the oasis shimmering like a dream. And behind it, the vast boundless sand world.
"You have the entire Dungeon World at your disposal. Every challenge, trial, and corner of this place is a forge in which you can hone your strength. The power you seek is here, waiting for you to claim it."
Erend and Eccar both paused, the weight of her words sinking in. They looked around, seeing the world not as an endless obstacles beyond this sand, but as a treasure trove of untapped potential.
For the first time in a while, they realized their worries had been fueled by their own overthinking. Sahura was right. They had this place, a world filled with opportunities to grow stronger.
Erend stood up from his chair, his expression shifting from doubt to determination.
"Then we can't waste any more time," he declared, his voice filled with purpose. He knew the time in this Dungeon World flowed differently from the outside, but that only meant they needed to act fast. There was power to be gained and they need a lot of it so every second counted.
Eccar rose to his feet as well. "Let's get to it," he muttered, nodding in agreement.
Sahura chuckled softly, her eyes twinkling with approval.

"You're learning quickly," she said with a nod. "Proceed with your journey, warriors. And remember, when the time comes... we will meet again."
Erend and Eccar didn't waste another moment. They already feeling refreshed after all.
With a final nod of gratitude toward Sahura, they launched themselves into the air, their forms cutting through the sky as they soared over the oasis. The vast Dungeon World stretched out before them with its power ready to be seized.
Erend and Eccar soared through the sky, the wind rushing past their faces as they scanned the desolate landscape below. The vast desert stretched endlessly in every direction. Their senses were sharp and alert for anything that lurked below.
Not long into their flight, they spotted movement. Giant scorpions with their dark, armored bodies scuttling across the dunes. Without hesitation, Erend and Eccar swooped down, their wings cutting through the air as they descended upon the creatures.
In one swift motion, they activating his claws.
The scorpions were pretty big, their pincers snapping viciously, but they were no match for the Dragonborns. Erend struck first, his claws slicing through the exoskeleton of one of the beasts with ease.
Eccar followed and kill another scorpion.
Within moments, the once-dangerous creatures lay motionless in the sand, their bodies crushed and broken.
They continued flying. The air around them seemed to grow heavier as they ventured deeper into the heart of the desert, but neither Erend nor Eccar showed any signs of slowing down.
Suddenly, the ground below erupted in a flurry of sand. Massive sandworms emerging from the depths of the desert. Each of them have the size of a subway train. Their gargantuan bodies twisted and writhed, their gaping maws lined with rows of sharp teeth.
Erend and Eccar hovered in the air, gazing down at the monstrous creatures. There were dozen of them. But there was no fear in their eyes, only determination.
Erend shot forward, diving straight toward the nearest sandworm. He slashed at the creature's thick, segmented body, his claws cutting deep into its flesh as the beast let out a deafening roar. Eccar joined the fray, his fist slammed into another worm's head, splintering its armored hide with raw force.
The sandworms retaliated, their massive bodies thrashing wildly, but the Dragonborns moved with precision and speed. They dodged the creatures' attacks effortlessly, their wings granting them amazing mobility.
Erend delivered a series of rapid strikes, cutting through one worm after another, while Eccar unleashed devastating blows that left the monsters in pieces.
The fight was intense, but within minutes, the last of the sandworms collapsed, its body sinking back into the sand, lifeless.
Erend and Eccar hovered above the carnage, surveying the scene below. The desert was once again still, the remnants of the battle scattered across the dunes.
They exchanged a glance, nodding silently to one another before taking off again. There was no time to waste. They needed to grow more stronger if they wanted to defeat the Great Calamity.
