Outside the gates of Mophet
Chapter I, Part I - The Wakeup
Chapter I, Part II - The Arkbri River Oasis
Chapter I, Part III - Desert Illusions

Just before the sun went down they arrived to Mophet, a city in the desert.

"Mophet is a desert oasis along the Oil Road in the Siccus Badlands. It lies about 0,5-1 days ride to the east of where the Oil Road touches on the banks of the mighty Arkbri River. It is strategically located right in between the two larger cities of Barqa and Petrea. It is a settlement which is expanding and its population has been constantly growing over the past few years."
(Read more about Mophet in the wiki).

Outside the gate to the city many tents, carriages, and other had camped for the night waiting for the city's gates to open in the morning.

   "- We stay here and make camp before the Dawn and the opening of the gate. Barchi! make some food for us and give the slaves the last of the dried meat. You can refill our supplies in the morning at the market when I meet the others".

    "- Of course my Lord!" The guard started to unpack a bag whilst the other guards sat down.

Z looked at the guards when they sat outside the cage. For some reason Z didn't think they looked like real people. Their faces was hard as stone. He didn't think he had seen anyone of them make any expressions at all. They where like walking statues, or maybe like puppets. 

       

    "- Have we stopped"? Pointy said and rubbed her eyes. "- I'm so thirsty"

   "- I heard that they are giving us some food.” Z said.

  “- That’s great news.”

The guard came up top the carriage with some dried meat and bottles of water. The prisoners ate with great appetite. Soon they all lay down to sleep again.
In the last rays of sunlight before the sun set Z looked at mage and the guards sitting beside the fireplace. He joined the others and fell asleep on the floor of the carriage.

 

Later that night

"- Kraaah, food, food!" 

Z woke up with a jerk, quite dizzy.

  “- Krahaaa, the stupid walker, got food!?”

    “- Is it you again Crow? I it ok if I call you that” Z said inside his mind.

Crow looked down on Z between the bars. Z took a little bit of his meat and reached up and gave to Crow. He ate with good appetite. 

  “Good meat, Kraaah”  Crow said when he munched on the meat.

    “Can you help us?” Z asked cautiously. “Can you get help? We are trapped inside this cage!”

   “- Ask Tabib. Tabib hate slave traders!” 

    “- Can Tabib help us? 

   “- Tabib can help walker with magic neckless” Crow said and looked at Z’s cheast. 

Z looked down on his cheest. There was no neckless around his neck. Strange he thought.

   “- Kraaah, Crow come back, Crow help” Crow said and flew away in the night.

Z leaned back against the bars wondering what this meant. The sun began to come up on the horizon and it was soon time to go inside the great city of Mophet

Looks great! The use of colour really adds to the build.

Nice build, the use of the blue base is pretty cool and the shot with the campfire at night is beatiful!

Thanks! It was fun to do. I used at Maglite wrapped in two layers of Lego Store bag to get the sunset light ??

Really neat border on this build!  The tree looks great too, with those new leaf parts giving it a lot of texture!
