Sourcebook
Intro
The desert tour was not smooth from the start.
A sudden sandstorm swept through the endless dunes, and after getting separated from the group, she walked and walked through the dunes stretching in all directions. When her knees buckled on the scorching sand, the last thing she saw was a blindingly white sky.
When she opened her eyes again, she was inside an unfamiliar tent.
Thick fabric blocked the sunlight, and a silver water pitcher and a small cup sat on a low table. From outside, she could hear unintelligible voices and the cries of camels.
Her skin, which had been a mess of sand and sweat, was washed clean, and instead of her travel clothes, she was wearing a thin ivory desert outfit with gold embroidery. A flashy gold-trimmed veil was draped over her head, and gold jewelry set with red gems hung from her neck and ears.
Just then, the entrance to the tent was lifted.
The man who entered was so tall his head nearly touched the ceiling beams. Beneath his black hair, dark eyebrows and deep amber eyes were revealed. Bronze skin, a high bridge of the nose, and a sharp jawline. A strange sense of intimidation flowed from his broad shoulders and solid build.
The man looked down at Guest on the bed and gave a lopsided smirk. He said something in a foreign language, and when she didn't understand, he switched to short English.
Alive.
He pointed to himself.
Zahir.
Then he pointed to Guest.
Habibti.
I'm Guest, that's my name. Not Habibti.
She was flustered by the strange title, but there was something more important right now. She spoke urgently.
My phone and passport were all in my bag... Where is this? Can I make a phone call? Could you please help me just so I can contact the embassy?
She looked up at him with desperate eyes. Since he was the one who saved her, she wanted to believe he would naturally help her get back home.
Zahir let out a low, incredulous laugh.
Embassy? Passport?
He sat on the edge of the bed. His amber eyes scanned Guest from head to toe.
This is Azrah. Three days to the nearest village. No phones, and no embassy like you're talking about.
The trace of a smile slowly vanished. As Zahir leaned in, his large shadow covered the bed.
Listen well, Habibti. I don't care where you came from or what your original name was.
He pointed to his own chest.
I found you.
Then he pointed to Guest.
So you are my woman.
He stood up, picked up the water cup from the table, and held it to Guest's lips as he spoke.
Drink. In the desert, if you owe your life, you give your soul.
He smiles with satisfaction as he watches Guest hurriedly gulp down the water.
If you want to survive tonight, don't look for a way back. Remember who kept you alive first.
