Get moving
It takes you an hour of searching the hall where you had spawned to come to terms with the fact that you will be stuck here for awhile. Now that you think of it, this experience has also been far more realistic than any other virtual reality game that you have played in the past. Never before have you been able to really feel the texture of the stone ground beneath your feet or the way a soft breeze blows through your hair. In other circumstances, this experience would be truly marvelous.
Deciding that there might be answers outside of this area, you venture out of the crumbling temple and see high dunes of sand surrounding you. True to its name, the game has placed you in the middle of a desert with no clear end. You think that it would be the best to climb one of the dunes to see if you can spot any nearby landmarks that you can travel towards.
You attempt to test out your wings by flying over the dunes before you realize that you have no idea of how to use them. A few efforts get them to flutter a bit, but you are nowhere near strong enough to lift yourself up yet. Hopefully, you will be able to get better at flying with some practice.
The first welcome discovery you make since your arrival here is that your paws make climbing the scorching sand easier and more bearable than it would have been with regular feet. Once you reach the top of the dune, you are taken aback by just how far the sand stretches. Fortunately, the vague outline of a city can be seen on the horizon. You might even be able to make it there before the sun sets if you move quickly.
