Although there were no monsters in this stretch of desert, we all needed lots of water if we wanted to make it to the Puppeteer's Grove in one piece.
And so, we took small sips from our water pouches as the hot sun continued to beat down on us.
After walking for more than twelve hours, we noticed that the sun didn't seem to move from its position in the sky, which meant that the concept of day and night did not exist here. It was just hot, suffocating day throughout.
The person who suffered the most was Evelyn. After all, she was a dominant of the water element, and so, after the unrelenting hours in the unmoving sun, she was already feeling weakened. Her skin had also completely dried up and begun to crack.
"How… far… are we?" She asked, her voice sounding thin and parched as she struggled to keep her pace alongside the rest of us.
Ino halted and wiped sweat from her face with her sleeve, then she looked at the whisper globe for a moment before turning back toward Evelyn.
