No prompts used. This is a continuation to FFM 2023 19: The Road to Freedom – Take VI.
The moment the heat outside hit him in the face in full, Bereth knew it had been a mistake to push himself to leave. He was never going to make it, not even with the help of the others.
The others had to survive, however, and at this point they would not leave him behind unless they had no choice. Therefore, Bereth carried on and did his best not to slow the group down.
He could only hope that when he would inevitably die, the sand would hide both him and the ring forever.

N. WS. Jokela, more commonly known as WindySilver, is a Finnish programmer and a hobbyist artist fighting a war against procrastination on the losing side. When her free time is not taken up by things like reading, procrastination, video games, watching series or more procrastination, she mainly writes sci-fi fanfiction and original flash fiction of various genres. While she dabbles in a lot of things ranging from digital art to jewelry to plants to whatever catches her interest, writing is her persistent forte.
You should not give her yet another crazy flash fiction challenge to take part in because she simply cannot say "no" to it.
