The sun soon set on the village, with darkness covering the whole landscape of the Parched Lands. Yet, there was one single patch of land in this desolate territory that was shining brighter than the stars in the sky.
As soon as the night came, the village turned on the switches for the lights. The lamps by the side streets and the bulbs on the porches of houses illuminated everything for the inhabitants of the village, making it easy for them to go where they wanted even in the night.
Lolo led Thrain and the rest of the dwarves, including the seniors and the children, through the crowded streets full of excited HobMankeys.
As they walked alongside the HobMankeys, Thrain heard their excited conversations about the upcoming match.
"Who do you think will win? I bet it's the Braniac Engineers. Kong is really good at batting!" said an excited kid.
