At first, it just wanted a sip of water.

Because at that time, it was dying of thirst.

But the man, fed it a sip of wine.

It's a strange wine, and it chokes on it so hot.

It made up its mind that it would never drink that strange thing again!

But just a sip of wine won't solve the problem at all.

Soon, it felt thirsty again.

And that man, there was nothing else to quench his thirst except wine.

It watched as the wine bag around his waist was untied by him again and handed it to it.

It finally couldn't take it anymore and gulped it down.

Cry while drinking.

It is spicy......

What a shame......

It thought.

As the last one in the world, not only is he short, but he has also fallen to such a state......

Perhaps, it was not born to be the material of a fierce beast.

"Hiccup~"

It burped and lay on the ground softly, lazy and defenseless, not at all worried that the person next to it would suddenly rise up and attack it.

It doesn't care, anyway, whatever.

The man just smiled, he didn't care that there was a long stretch of yellow sand under his feet, and he fell down beside it.

It looked at this guy strangely, from the moment he appeared, it was strange.

It's a desolate end!

This strange man, with a sword and a jug of wine, walked into this hell of death.

Just like its name, it is barren and desolate, and no living creature dares to take root here, only the sky is full of yellow sand, burying everything.

So, it fled here, waiting for the end of its ridiculous life.

Maybe it's too timid, and when death really comes, it's scared.

It doesn't want to die!

Exhausted, it struggled in the yellow sand filled with the smell of death, but it had long run out of food and water.

It had no strength left, so it collapsed to the ground, letting the sand cover its vision little by little, blocking its nose, filling its open mouth, and burying it little by little.

Am I going to die? ……

It became unconscious, and then, it had auditory hallucinations.

It heard, the sound of something stepping on the sand, little by little.

Ha, I must have misheard, it's been here for so long, and it's never seen anything other than it.

There was a hand that brushed the sand off its body.

"Alive......" it heard the man say, rescuing it from the sand.

It fell on the sand, gasping weakly.

"Here, give me water...... its hoarse voice was like the grinding sound between rocks, and it was very dry.

The man untied the pouch from his waist, opened it and poured it into its mouth.

"Ahem...... Cough! "It's choking and coughing!

"It's ...... cough cough cough ...... What's ......?"

"It's so hard to drink......"

"Wine." He said lightly.

Wine? What is that?

It doesn't know.

All it knows is that thing, it's so spicy......

How could anyone walk into this hell with a pot of this thing?

At all, it can't last a day......

But he was not worried, and stayed quietly.

After that, and that's after that......

It volunteered to drink the thing it swore it wouldn't drink again!

Wine......

But when the hot and uncomfortable is over......

In its mouth, it is as sweet as drinking a clear spring.

It smacked its lips, and an idea came to it......

It's going to be drunk again.

But there was not a drop left in that wine bag.

He gave it all the wine.

It realized this, and its heart was full of inexplicable emotions......

It's so uncomfortable that I even want to cry a little......

"You, aren't you afraid of death?" It regained a little strength and asked him.

"Why did I die?" Only then did he realize that the person's voice was the same as the feeling after drinking the wine.

Clear, pleasant, plain.

"You don't have water, how do you survive here?"

"How long do you think I can last......" he asked with a smile.

"I, I don't know...... Possibly, one day......"

"One day, that's enough." He said lightly.

"You, what did you say?" For a moment it thought it had heard some last words.

"I said, one day is enough." He sat up:

"I didn't even think I'd be here for another day."

"I'm going out."

"What are you kidding?"

This hellish place, when you come in, you can't get out again.

Otherwise it wouldn't have come here.

Although, it regretted it.

"So," he said, turning his head and looking at it:

"Are you going out?"

It was stunned, a glint flashed in its eyes, and then it dimmed again:

"No, I...... Don't go out. It was as if it heard someone screaming in its head.

That's the thought it still wants to live.

It's struggling.

"Useless waste like me, there's nowhere to go when you go out. It's better to fend for itself here......" It lay down.

"Let's get out." As if he saw it, he said softly:

"This world is bigger than you think."

"At the ends of the earth, there will always be a place for you."

"Hah......" it smiled self-deprecatingly and stood up, allowing him to take a good look at the ridiculous look.

"Look at this, this ridiculous shit."

"Ever since I was born, I've been thinner than my fellow tribesmen."

"They grow very fast, and they are all strong, as big as a hill!"

"And I, from the moment I was born, barely grew up!"

It seemed to finally vent the pain and dissatisfaction that had been hidden in its heart for countless years, and it roared:

"From that moment on, I will always look up to them!"

"Look up to those I could never be!!"

"They're such powerful beasts, and I'm so weak that they can lift me away with a single breath!"

"But fortunately, they all died in that natural disaster, and there is not a single ...... left" Its voice gradually became quieter, with a crying voice full of sadness......

"Between heaven and earth, I am the only one left......"

"No, I don't deserve to be called a ......," it fell, as if it had exhausted its strength, and fell to the ground......

"Do you know why I'm here?"

"Because I have nowhere to go."

He listened so quietly, as if it didn't exist.

It closed its eyes and waited for him to leave.

Then a hand gently touched its head:

"Well, forget you're a calf."

Its eyes widened and it looked at him.

"If you don't have anywhere to go, come with me."

"I can make you stronger than your people."

"I can let you live as you please."

"Really...... Are you sure? Can you really do it? There was light in its eyes again.

It's like a drowning man now, grabbing that last straw!

"There's nothing I can't do." His voice was so reassuring.

"Come with me."

"I can give you everything you want."

It didn't know if it was because of the conditions it had always dreamed of, or because of the man in front of it who had given it hope in its most desperate moments......

Anyway, in the end, it says:

"Okay."

In fact, it may not matter whether it can become strong or not......

All it knows is that it has hope again.

That's enough.
