On Tri-Star Day, on top of the festival to honor the gods, Mukarde, the great Prophet of the Broad-eyed Beast tribe, gazed at the sky obscured by dark clouds, his mood sinking to the extreme.
According to the records in the scriptures, every four years at this time, three suns would rise simultaneously on the other side of the sea, forming the spectacle known as the Triple Rise.
But this time, the situation was particularly different. The sky was covered with nothing but dark clouds, and a powerful storm appeared to be gathering within them.
This kind of bad weather had persisted for hundreds of days, to the extent that the recent generations of Broad-eyed Beasts had lived and died without ever seeing the Sun, and the intermittent heavy rain posed a tremendous challenge to the survival and reproduction of the tribe.
