I would never admit it, but I was terrified of the dark and who could be lurking in it. Soldiers escaping, Jaxlor's coming for us, anyone... The explosions didn't help. But I eventually calmed my thoughts enough for me to drift off into a comfortable sleep. 

The sun peeked through the trees, shining down on us through the spaces between the leaves. It was a chilly morning. Not so much cold, but definitely chilly. A fresh coat of dew still hung on the blades of grass and us as we all slowly began to wake. I took a deep breath, only opening my eyes for a few seconds before closing them again. It was still early morning, but I couldn't tell the exact time. 
"We gotta get up guys." I grumbled, throwing my arm over my eyes to shield them from the ever rising sun.
