In the days that followed, nothing else happened anywhere,desert, desert, desert,, sand, sand, sand everywhere, occasionally a withered tuft of grass, and sometimes a boulder. the desert looked very desolate, and it was hard to believe it could change, and this area was no longer uncertain for Gwydion. he was bored, there was sand everywhere, there was sand in his clothes too, and he was sweating and he was always thirsty. So that was the desert of the Orient, but where was the arsonist? it would take a long time to find him, he decided that he didn't find the Orient very beautiful. So it went for the next few days, and it was getting hotter and hotter. It was getting harder to ride, and at some point Gwydion thought he couldn't go on the next morning, but for a few hours full of desert and unease he discovered a little oasis. finally he thought an oasis and showed it to the others, and they saw the oasis too, so it couldn't be a delusion. finally an oasis, said the other Caravanning members, and since the baron had heard the call in his moving office, he looked out and saw the oasis, too, and it was high time, because their water supplies were running low. And they were at the point that the water would only have been enough for a day, and who knows if by then they would have found another oasis.
They replenished their supplies and Gwydion drank some water. After that, they traveled on. Gwydion, who was very happy about the oasis, was fresh again and had changed his mind that he probably couldn't go on tomorrow, he said he could because the oasis had apparently strengthened him.
They continued to travel until they decided to take a break. The camp was built and Gwydion looked hungrily at the supplies, whereupon he took an apple and ate it. Amused, Frederick looked at Gwydion and laughed quietly, went to the storage cart and pulled out an apple. He aimed it at Gwydion and shouted "Here, catch" and threw the apple towards Gwydion with a lot of momentum. Since he could not aim very well, the apple flew past Gwydion with a lot of momentum, and the apple hit the wagon wheel, whereupon Frederick Lachend said: "I hope that the car does not have a wheel off". Gwydion thought the joke was good and laughed too. El habib's servant noticed Frederick's misfortune, he looked at the wheel and found it looked very much like a target, and remembered how Gwydion had tried to shoot the lion with the bow and decided to teach Gwydion and Frederick archery.
El habib's servant started by getting a round board made of soft wood, then he took colors, and first drew a small red circle in the middle of the board. Then he took orange and drew a circle around it, then again he took yellow and enclosed the orange circle with a yellow circle. He did the same with light green, then dark green, and the target was ready. The first thing he wanted to do was to teach aiming to Gwydion and Frederick.
Gwydion and Frederik watched the servant of EL habib and were surprised. It looked like a target, but what did El habib's servant want with a target, they wondered. Then Gwydion remembered his misfortune with the bow.
Probably, El habib's servant wanted to teach them archery, and that was true.
El habib's servant looked for a suitable tree and hung up the target then he said to Gwydion "I remember your misfortune in archery and thought I could teach you". "Ah" Gwydion replied to the servant of EL habib "That would be great" he added "Then we want to start now". First you practice target shooting. This was an exercise where, in contrast to moving targets, you had all the time in the world.
Gwydion wasn't the best at it, but he was quite good. Then he practiced shooting with the bow when you were startled. He wasn't good at that at the beginning. That's why he had to practice a lot. El habibs diener taught the archery so that if Gwydion or Frederick were about to shoot he frightened them and it was really difficult to shoot but at some point he was pretty good at it.
Training continued every evening and Gwydion was getting better at archery and he felt safer and safer in archery. and so the time passed each day until one afternoon they rested again when Gwydion heard a few excited voices in the camp coming from the other side of the mountain. Gwydion looked with curiosity: a sea of tents and flags and between the flags and the tents many many people all dressed in the same clothing camped directly behind the hill. The baron was also on the way there. He stopped with him and told Gwydion that this is the army of the king, “so if necessary we have to join them because the king is my superior. Although we wanted to look for the arson here, maybe the king will come to our favour. “okay said gwydion let's help the king if necessary i have no problem with it”, then the baron said well but maybe we don't have to help and disappears.
It took a while for the baron to come back and so Gwydion and Frederik went back to the camp. It took a while for the baron to come back but when he was back he said “sorry Gwydion we actually wanted to find the arsonist here but since the king is here we have to help him because he asked for my help with the siege of the capital.”
The rest of the day the king's army was still camping, so the baron had to stay there.
In order to pass the time, Gwydion went to the servant of El habib and asked him to continue the archery training, which the servant did. he also immediately called Frederick, who thought stupid that they always had to wait for each other. Then the servant of El habib decided to make another target, and Frederick decided to make another bow. He had learned that from the servant of El habib. His result on a bow was not quite as good as that of El habib's servant, but Frederick didn't care and the training could begin, continuing to practice the startled shooting. Though El habib's servant kept coming up with new ways to frighten them.
And so they kept practicing. at some point the servant said: “Now you are so good at archery that you are now practicing for the next goal. "And what is that?" asked Frederick and Gwydion "shoot fast" replied the servant of El habib, adding: "you have to shoot in as little time as possible" he added. They practiced this for a while until the baron came excitedly and said: "I forgot completely: We have to move our camp around since we are now helping the king." "Okay," Gwydion and Frederick said to the baron, "we're trying to help." "Fine," said the baron.
Soon everything was packed for the caravan and everyone went to the plot allotted to them. It way was not far, so they soon saw the plot allotted to them. They were lucky because there were two trees in their assigned area, so they could continue their archery. they set up camp again. Frederick's tent, which he shared with Gwydion, was soon pitched. Gwydion and frederick slip into the tent and Gwydion let Obsidian out of his pocket. then he was amazed to see the obsidian about the size of a dog. "Have you grown again?" Gwydion murmured .
Gwydion was exhausted and lay down a bit. he closed his eyes and thought about obsidian, about the past with obsidian and about the future. Maybe Obsidian will be a great powerful fire-breathing dragon. And when he thought of his lizard with his eyes closed, he suddenly saw the tree in front of the tent. He opened his eyes and saw the obsidian peeping out of the tent. then Gwydion hit a thought. could it be that he had seen exactly what Obsidian had seen? could it be that he can always see through obsideans eyes?
So Gwydion spent time with Obsidian and Frederick and time flew by, but soon he forgot about Obsidian, and Obsidian secretly made off. but they didn't notice that they were already too exhausted. when they were awake again, they did not notice it either, but suddenly the baron called to them and said that the king had told them this: that suddenly a great deal of their food had fallen into the fire and was then suddenly missing , and everything that fell into the fire was meat. Then Gwydion noticed that Obsidian was missing and suspected that he had stolen the meat, so he searched for Obsidian with the help of Frederick.
