Many hours had long passed by since Sermia and her comrade decided to shelter themselves underneath the shady but spooky trees on both side of the broad path but the group still haven't left the cozy spot to continue their journey nor were they willing to head out into the sun-baked path that ran deeper into the dense forest. Before long, hunger and thirst for something to refresh their throats which had gone dry started to pester them and they, especially Micamus, soon began to regret joining Sermia to stop halfway from their journey in order to rest their weary limbs and tired feet from the burning hot sun after trekking a long way from the heart of the realm they had unwittingly got themselves trapped in with nowhere to change their next destination.
