Crimson Desert and Destinies Intertwined: The History of the Oasis 🪐🏜️ A breathtaking expanse of crimson desert stretched to the horizon. On the right, a striking gradient of golden glitter and white sands caught the sunlight, making a ridge of crystal hills sparkle like raw diamonds. In this sea of sand, desert fish leaped and splashed, creating a rhythmic rustling sound as they broke through the shifting dunes. Inside an artificial oasis, a bizarre yet advanced vehicle glided effortlessly. It was a transparent, egg-shaped capsule with a flattened bottom—an eco-shuttle meticulously engineered for maximum climate control. Inside the chilled capsule, the elderly Aria sat comfortably in her motorized wheelchair-shuttle, while her granddaughter Lileesh lounged on a sleek, circular levitating plate. Hovering just a few inches above the burning earth, the automated pod drifted silently toward their destination. "My health has been wonderful lately, so I decided to travel all the way from the southern dome city," Aria smiled. Thanks to her species' genetic traits, she looked incredibly youthful for her age. "Oh, I bet Lêve’s father came all the way out to see you again, didn't he, Grandma Aria?" Lileesh teased, flashing a mischievous, knowing grin. "Well... we are close in age, after all, so we understand each other," Aria blushed softly, a gentle chuckle escaping her lips. "In my youth, before this planet was civilized, my husband was killed by a hostile tribe... and he lost his wife at a young age too." The pod docked smoothly inside a small villa tucked within the oasis. With a quick tap on their internal control panels, the transparent glass canopies hissed open, allowing them to step onto the solid floor. Inside the villa, the air was blissfully cold. Instead of underfloor heating, the house utilized a revolutionary "underfloor cooling" infrastructure—chilled water lines and localized cooling coils woven into the ceiling, walls, and floors to push heat away, creating a sanctuary from the desert sun. "These mobile capsules are so convenient!" Lileesh stretched happily. "They truly are, Lileesh..." Aria sighed softly, her eyes turning distant. "In the old days, such things were pure myth. Flying vessels were nothing but legends, water was always scarce, and tribal warfare never ended. Fari and your mother... they were sacrificed. Given up to the Water Gods in those dark times." Aria’s voice trembled slightly. "Until a few years ago, when they—Lêve and his people—arrived in their massive starships from the sky." Seeing her grandmother tear up, Lileesh gently stroked her back with a warm smile. "Don't cry, Grandma. I'll brew some fresh tea! I brought some sweets too. Let's see what we can whip up in the kitchen." "I wonder what's taking Fari and the others so long?" Aria wondered aloud. "Who knows what they're up to, Grandma," Lileesh giggled. Meanwhile, back at the agricultural dome, Fari was busy fighting off one-eyed monsters... ⚔️🦖 (Fun Fact: This sci-fi pod idea evolved from combining a sun umbrella, a clear mosquito net with a portable cooler, and a Segway/electric wheelchair! A brilliant concept for an L-shaped localized cooling wall next to a bed!) 💡❄️ 緑色の合成鳥〜漫画原作脚本形式 - カクヨム
