–Hidden Fortress, Somewhere in Dafaren.--
Today, the sun stung the eyes of many like vipers, causing their throats to fall in a continuous loop of thirst.
How can it be so hot when summer hasn't officially begun yet?
The guards wore light airy attire, but were still completely drenched, with their undergarments feeling damp.
