AI prompt: Write a story about a traveler who finds themselves lost in a vast desert, with nothing but a tattered journal for guidance. The journal tells the tale of a mermaid who lived in a hidden oasis deep within the desert, and the traveler becomes obsessed with finding the mythical creature and uncovering the secrets of the oasis. As they journey deeper into the unforgiving desert, they face scorching heat, treacherous sandstorms, and dangerous predators, all while searching for any signs of the mermaid and the oasis. Will they be able to reach the heart of the desert and unlock its secrets, or will they be lost to the sands forever?
Ellie's prompt: One day, you get a special package in the mail. Through the letter inside, you learn that your adventuring uncle and aunt have disappeared on their latest trip. In the event of their disappearance or death, you were to receive their journal, which was included in the package. According to the first few passages, they were traveling through the Omnidweg Desert in search of the famous Mirror City. Their first, and last, point of contact was an unlikely figure, a sand-swimming mermaid named Heege. Perhaps you need to make a trip and see what Heege knows about your missing relatives.
