These desert tribes have evolved to survive in this environment; shortly after birth, their genes grant them the ability to crawl or traverse the desert with ease. Even in places they have never visited before, they can find their way with pinpoint accuracy. This is their innate talent.
This child was fifteen or sixteen years old. Among the desert folk, this is considered a very tender age—still, in fact, early childhood, as the typical lifespan of their people is around six hundred years. However, having already mastered the ability to navigate, the boy’s parents saw no reason to supervise him. As a result, the child wandered deep into a cave and discovered a man-made bronze mirror and a yellow paper talisman.
On this primitive continent, there was no such thing as paper or bronze mirrors. Their weapons were limited to simple stone-tipped arrows and wooden bows. Naturally, the child was immensely curious upon seeing such objects. Because he was playful by nature, he didn't mention the find to his family. He simply tore up the yellow talisman, tucked the bronze mirror into his clothes, and ran back out.
