Geoffrey had made a mistake. Well, many mistakes but this one was particularly bad. He'd gone exploring in the sands when a sudden sandstorm had blown over him. In his haste to find shelter he'd gotten lost and spent several hours wandering around the desert. Finally he'd spied what from a distance looked like paradise.
Thinking it yet another trick by the desert, he'd approached it slowly. Then, once he'd realized it was real, thrown himself into it as if it were a life preserver.
Honestly he didn't know what to do. Because he didn't know which direction home lay in he was afraid of walking back out into the desert. If he chose wrong the odds of him dying in the desert were very good.
As he contemplated his next move the oasis was suddenly bathed in shades of green and he lifted his sad eyes to the sky. What he saw surprised him, but even its rare beauty couldn't pull his spirits out of the gutter.
