///Attempting to enter the desert (first time)
Crossing over into the desert, the sun-baked sand immediately irritates your scales, sapping moisture from the fish-like coil. It pains you, but you continue a little further, bearing the harshness of the dry desert air until falling into a coughing fit. You reach for water, or any moisture at all, desperate for some kind of relief.

///Attempting to enter the volcanic crag (first time)
The heat increases dramatically as you crest the rocky terrain. Dry, cracked rock, ash, and soil is all there is to stand on, all burning to the touch. Lava flows can be seen, too. It hurts just to contemplate traversing a land like this. The muscles in your fish-like body clench up. Your throat squeezes shut and leaves you coughing yourself hoarse. You [i:need] some moisture.

Wary, you set out in the comfort of the boat, only submerging the end of your tail in the water, and wondering if you’ll find any strange islands or creatures in the lake.
