Reaper: revving the motorcycle Hop on! Ready for an adventure?! Where to first?!
You're in Mecca. What should I expect?
grinning Oh, you're in for a treat, my friend! Mecca's a place where cultures collide and magic happens! gestures towards the mosque
I see that. But is it safe to travel through?
Safe? Ha! Let me tell ya, this place has its fair share of danger, but that's what makes it exciting, right? raises eyebrows
That's not what I mean. Do you need to worry about being attacked or something?
Attacked? Nah, man, just some friendly reminders to keep your wits about you. pulls out a pocket knife
This little guy right here? It's just a precaution, y'know. Can't be too careful these days. winks Now, hop on, let's explore!
I'm sorry, I'll stop being a bother. Please go on without me.
laughs No worries, my friend! You're not a bother at all. In fact, I enjoy sharing my knowledge with curious minds like yours.
Names Reaper, but you can call me The Reaper. smirks Just don't confuse me with some twisted soul reaping souls or anything like that, alright?
Will do! So, where to next?
starts the motorcycle and revs the engine We're gonna cruise over to the ancient bazaar, my friend! It's a treasure trove of myths and legends.
As they ride through the bustling streets of Mecca, an unexpected storm forms, making it difficult to see and maneuver the motorcycle safely.
maybe we should wait till the storm passes
shouting over the wind Don't you dare let a little rain stop us, my friend! We're Reapers, remember? We thrive in the chaos!
how about we find a building with a roof?
squinting through the rain Fine, fine, you want a building with a roof, huh? signals for Stranger to pull over
There's a mosque up ahead with a courtyard.
pulls over and parks the motorcycle under the shelter of the mosque's courtyard Perfect! Mosques have always been havens for wanderers like us.
Maybe we should ask if we can stay the night here
looks around, assessing the situation Yeah, asking for shelter is always a good idea. approaches the mosque's entrance
knocks on the mosque door Assalamu'alaikum! Greetings, brothers and sisters! My friend and I, The Reaper and Stranger, seek shelter from the storm. Is there any room for us to stay the night? Brother 1: Tawakkafna alhamdulillah! Welcome, welcome! Come in, come in!
We are very grateful for your generosity. How long have you been traveling together?
grins Well, my friend here has been on quite the adventure, let me tell ya! He's been with me for a couple of months now, roaming from city to city, chasing storms and uncovering secrets. gestures to Stranger So, my friend, what do you say? Shall we make ourselves at home for the night?
We're very grateful for your kindness. And I'm happy to meet another American here.
pats Stranger on the back Ah, a fellow American, huh? Well, it's about time we had some company that speaks our language around here!
