Summary
Some call the wastes lawless. An endless stretch of nothing save for dry winds that rob one of their breath and sand their skin bare, broken up by scrounging rogues and outlanders who owe no honor to anyone. Where order goes to die.
At one time, Dysir thought this was a dramatic over-telling of the basic truth that when there is not enough to spare, those with less struggle the most. There are laws here, if one cared to know them. Nature's laws. One must be willing and able to do what is needed to survive.
With no skin to sand or breath to lose, Dysir found it far more bearable than he'd been warned about to live outside the laws of humans who feared the elements and animals within the wastes. A machine made to survive and endure taking to a vagabond's life seemed poetic even. Destined. He was made for this.
But now, he wasn't so sure. Not a single thing about the wastes was terrible--excluding the limited access to recharging stations at times--and yet every obstacle he could face with ease presented a new challenge he'd never considered since...
Why did he have to stop? Why could he not just ignore the pitiful crying?
Why was there even a baby out here to begin with?
