As the wind, rain and thunder howled, thick clouds blocked out the sky. The Sumerian city, as well as its stone palace, looked particularly gloomy in the darkness.
People were in a hurry as they bustled along the spacious streets of Niyah City. They were all running down the streets to avoid getting wet. The shops on both sides of the streets were closed, and every family shut the windows to their homes, so as not to let the rain come in.
At this time, a few figures wearing black raincoats slowly crossed the street and headed for the palace. Their shadowy figures created a stark contrast among the rush of the other pedestrians. Their raincoats were blown to and fro by the strong wind as they walked straight towards the palace.
