"A relic?"
Amanda arched an eyebrow, a restrained smile coming to her lips. She hadn't been expecting treasure like that on this little expedition. It couldn't have been what her contact had hinted at when he gave her the apparently useless map, but it would be a far, FAR better reward than anything she had expected. If there was even a chance...
"Where would we find this relic...?" Amanda asked, crossing her arms. She glanced around the scorching landscape, without a clue where to begin. But the stranger had to know something. "You wouldn't be out here without some kind of lead...right?"
She tried her best to keep her cool, but she couldn't hold back a series of coughs as she inhaled an unfortunate lungful of smoke. She beat a fist against her chest as she coughed, trying to clear out her lungs. The heat, she could tolerate, for as long as needed. The smoke and ash, on the other hand, were already taking their toll.
