The sun is scorching, up in the high sky. The cracked grey desert soil around you looks almost ashen in bright light; miles and miles of featureless wasteland. Only the numberless bleached bones of huge ancient creatures crop up every now and then to break the monotony of the deadly landscape. They backstabbed you, exsanguinated you, robbed you of all stored magic, gutted you for good measure and left you here to die, to Wither of Thirst.
The sun alone would have killed another, but not you - lucky you, your curse waned after the Severing. Just like it did for many others. For you that meant you could walk in the sun openly. Now it means that you are simply parching in the sun like any mortal, only unable to die and slowly roasting alive, too weak and powerless to act without blood. They couldn't have extracted all of it, you are not yet Withered, but the last drops that remain in your veins are only enough for a short burst of action or a day's worth of crawling; they did you in, this time. You lost.
But the story can't end here, before it had begun, can it? How do you survive?
Were you prepared for this sudden but inevitable treachery?
Do you feel lucky, sucker?
Do you have an ally or a familiar (pet) who could've come to your aid?
...Oh, and you do have a name, don't you?
