Rise and Fall. Inhale. Exhale. It rumbles like an ocean, ancient. Violent. Waves after waves crash down from the dunes, aided by the wind. The sand flows like molten gold, speckled with nuggets of onyx and quartz. Bright beams of light bounce of the sand, leaving delicate arcs of colour spattering its surface.
