Whatever region of the desert Alex had arrived in, it was far too large for him to get anywhere. He flew around for over 2 hours and still failed to find any signs of human life.
He knew the desert folks liked to stay far apart, but this was too much. He should have flown the distance between Life's Edge and Sunspear already, and he had yet to see another life still.
Just how far away would he have to fly?
Alex finally saw the first human just half an hour after that, but there was no settlement nearby. It was just one lone person, standing on top of the dune.
Alex slowed down his speed and landed on the dune before the other one. He didn't want to be seen coming down from directly in front of the person as that would raise too many questions.
He walked the short distance to the top of the dune and stared at the figure.
