305. Not The Time For Research

Jael stepped out of the cave crouched down. His skin felt hot and soft, the cave had protected him from the sun but not the heat. He felt like he had dipped in steaming hot water.

"How do you feel, Sire? You look a bit red." Danag asked, standing a couple of feet away.

"That's a compliment."

"I think that's sunburn," Erick commented.

"Shut it, Erick," Jael responded.

He wasn't sunburnt but he certainly wasn't alright. Thankfully, darkness covered the land, his body should return to normal soon enough.

He didn't feel any different, just tired which is expected as he has not gotten any sleep in two full days. His head was about to split open at this point.

"We are lucky this cave was not habited, considering how we barely missed the sun rising by seconds," Danag said.

"If we had encountered even a single Paler, I can only imagine how the situation would have turned out," Erick chipped in.
