Tempest cursed herself.
Why hadn't she stayed in the stronghold.
While she was there, she hadn't realized how much cooler it was. Sure, it was still hot, but somehow the topography of the mountains surrounding them had cooled off the air.
She missed it…so much at that very moment.
They walked side by side, two by two.
Gerax and Aliq were in the front while she and Rynax were behind.
Tempest could barely put one foot in front of the other, and she hadn't uttered a word for at least the last thirty minutes.
Gerax and Aliq, on the other hand, hadn't stopped talking since they rounded the first corner.
She was right when she thought that the two of them would get along. Once Gerax figured out that Aliq had so much knowledge about the land of Skoq, the questions never stopped coming out of his mouth.
She waited for Aliq to get annoyed or to start shortening his answers, but that never came.
It was as if they didn't even realize that it was boiling out here.
