Title: Harsh Winds Rating: PG Prompt: #2 Walk the Line Category: 250 words Word Count: 241 Summary: The Desert is such a hard place with a man that walks the line of Insanity.
The sun dipped below the mounds of sand in the distance, painting them a dark red as the sky steadily and regretfully turned black with only a half moon and a few stars lighting their way.
Their horses panted with fatigue and thirst, a sweat sticking to their coats causing sand to clump between the fine hairs of the great war horses dulling their once bright colours until they were almost unrecognisable from what they had looked like before.
The column of riders, dressed in mail and dark blue tunic's wore white burnoose's around their heads, skilfully tied to avoid sand from entering their mouths or eyes but that did not stop it from sticking to what skin was readily available and open the the harsh winds of the desert.
They passed by a village and despite the wariness within the bones of everyone in the party they continued on head first into the cold winds, in the lead of the column rode a tall man, his hair a dark black colour and clumped with sand and upon his slightly tanned face wore a huge grin as he turned to face his squire and the rest of the company.
His squire, riding next to him, turned and pulled down part of the sand covered fabric and yelled over the harsh winds,
"My Lord, you are a very bad man!"

Hee, the summary amuses me now that I've read the drabble! I feel sorry for Kel and the Own. I really like all the description that you have in here, I can really picture it all!
