'How long exactly have we been walking?' Ash wondered in his mind, taking one step after the other.
The burning sun beat down on his skin as he moved, sweat dripping from under his jaw.
Aisha, who was just right behind him, had the same exhausted look on her face.
The sun was way too hot, and the distance to the forest only seemed to be getting wider and wider.
They had limited water as well, so they needed to manage it as much as possible.
Suddenly, there was a thud echoing right behind them.
Bang!
Ash and Aisha immediately turned around, only to see Echidna on her knees, gasping for air.
"Oi! What are you doing? Get up!" Kelvin remarked, glaring at her with intensity.
Echidna still tried to catch her breath, her sweat dripping onto the hot ground continuously.
"Give me… a second… I just need to catch my breath for a bit."
"What? Are you being serious right now? Just cast a stamina spell on yourself or something."
