Daytime always eventually came to an end.
Even in the desert.
"…"
The desert was nothing but a flat plane of white ivory grains, the waves and chaos absent and the air deathly quiet.
Even the usual sandstorms had come to an end, as had the constant clashes of wind and ice.
Far on the horizon, a sun that had been hidden during the day by the grey skies above slowly set, rich golden-orange rays washing over the sandy expanse as soft winds swept by.
The grey clouds above gradually dispersed as the sun descended, revealing a starry sky of untold beauty that only grew more breathtaking with each passing second.
It was quite the sight.
"…mm."
Uriel was still tied to the ruby wall.
"..mmm.."
His pupils fluttered open slowly, dried blood caking his face alongside crusts of sand and ice.
With a groan, he fully opened his eyes, the radiant golden light of the setting sun blinding him for a moment before he adjusted.
Weakly, he smiled.
"…ah."
