@dot_Sp0T The trees were over four kilometers away. Bremdag pulled up panting at the edge of the forest and waited for this companions. It was un-advisable to be caught too long in the plains under the searing white sun, and by the time he had gotten to the trees, he could already feel sun-burn starting to form on his shoulders and ears.
It was a harsh sun, providing meagre heat, yet painful burns to the skin, even through a thick garment. That was why his people lived in the vast underground Arcologies. But here among the kilometer high spire-trees, the harsh sunlight was blocked and the thick trunks warmed and scented the air, deliciously.
