              As Milan (As he sees) quickly jump into the water Zhēngqì
        realized something
              “Milan, No!” cried Zhēngqì with a sudden voice of haste
        and panic. But it was all TOO LATE. As Milan ran near to the oasis
        he suddenly sank into the ground with a splosh sound, suddenly
        the beautiful oasis he saw was nowhere to be found but a large pit
        of QUICKSAND?!?! “HE  WAS  HALLUCINATING,  WHAT  HE
        WAS SEEING WAS JUST A MIRAGE” thought Milan his mind
        losing all hope from the sudden realization.
              “NOOOO!!!” Yelled Maya. Milan was hallucinating all the

        eyes, “Why...him, he’s just a nice young man.” As she continued to
        cry, Zhēngqì knelt down next to her and whispered in her ear,
        I know that it’s sad to lose someone who is as important as your
        own life, but here is not a place to mourn for the dead, let’s get
        going to next caravanserai, so that we can properly grieve him.
