The holy waters of darkness fades, the sky is once again illuminated by the unholy fire. Haixun mutters to himself about how he hates having to find these creatures in this revealing light, but he knows that it is the only way. These mole-men are normally consistent in their path to the river, and could be tracked easily. With the morning sun rising over the sky, Haixun gathered his necessary supplies and set out.

These creatures were easily located, their strange walking motion leaving a distinct path. Haxiun followed from treetops, being careful about where he is climbing as to not be seen. As he was traveling above these creatures, Haxiun was trying to make sense of these strange noises that they made. What could these things be saying? They keep mentioning something called "Hmph". They seem to be debating something. What is this "Hmph"? Finally they made it to the river, and began filling their strange containers with the sacred waters of the Homeland. Trying to understand what these creatures are saying, Haxiun began to look over the branch to see if there are any hints in their movements.

It took one wrong move, one foolish step and Haxiun began tumbling down the branches. Trying to grab onto nearby branches, he only succeeded in making more noise. Thankfully, the branches broke his fall enough that he could see that nothing is broken. Then, he realized what has happened, the sky-flame is bright, he is near the river. [b]They can see him.[/b] He looked up and saw these strange creatures staring at him. Haxiun got his feet and sprinted away, jumping away from these giants. He climbed a nearby tree and ran to his home-tribe as fast as possible.
