Interesting premise.
You need an editor/proofreader.
You wrote: "You knew this wasn't an idol threat..." You meant IDLE.
Four stars.
The very first sentence told me that this was going to be a challenge.
“ You stood among the shadows cast by the mid-day sun as it fell towards the horizon marking the start of the evening.”
The mid-day sun is just that - the sun at mid-day, not the start of evening. The mid-day sun does not cast long shadows.
