The appearance of the sun swept away the hope that had spread among the group. The Aduns would have solved every problem, but they turned out to be unable to withstand the intense light radiated by that flaming star.

Khan instinctively looked at the Niqols, but they appeared as surprised as him. They didn't expect the sun to hinder the mental connections with the Aduns. They didn't even predict that the creatures would have been unable to withstand that radiance.
