The sun was setting into the ocean, hues of gold and pink bleeding into the eerily still waters. The absence of wind was so complete that the sun even now was scorching hot. There was no enjoying this perfectly tranquil moment. The heat and the calm were too ominous by far, and thoughts invariably turned inwards to remember conflicts from the past and nightmare scenarios from forgotten dreams. Fear of the dark is only natural, but this was absurd. They all felt it, where they stood shirtless with sand between their toes. They had come a long way already, but their journey was far from over. There had been some measure of hope up until now, but the sudden respite and this moment leeched it all away in an instant.
