Noon was the hottest time of the day here in Desert Moon. Sweat beaded and slowly dripped down my forehead. It wasn’t even noon yet but the sun blazed down on us with a blazing passion. The three of us were excused from training until Ady was completely healed, but Leo wasn’t having it.
As soon as we walked onto the field, he winked at me before he made a beeline for the group of people awaiting Darci’s command. After they warmed up, Leo was paired with some guy from Tier 2. His muscles glistened with sweat and tensed as he sparred with his opponent.
I wasn’t as invested in the training session as Ady. I sighed as a cool breeze tickled the back of my neck. I sat cross-legged on the grass. There wasn’t any shade, so we had no choice but to sit in the uncomfortable heat. The occasional cool breeze was like a cold cup of water in a desert.
