Just like that, they held on for another 19 days, and time finally reached 31 days later.
Despite the inability to see the rise and fall of the sun or moon in the long night and no sign of the stars shining or tracing their paths, Trolian's timekeeping system continued to function, and the Prophets in the White Tower ensured that time did not deviate by even a fraction.
Finally, the hands of the clock passed the night hour, indicating that a new day had begun.
Everyone eagerly awaited the passing of the long night, hoping for the moon and stars to appear in the night sky, for the strength of the Black Fog to diminish, the dark power to weaken, and the firelight to become brighter.
Time passed little by little.
The darkness, as thick as space itself, continued to roll, and countless Black Fog Symbionts kept appearing, and the light of the fire was still suppressed and could only cover a small area.
On the battlefield, Rod gazed into the distance, but saw only endless darkness.
