It was night time, and the air swept across the leaves of the trees gently. Briggan had his eyes open, staring at the full moon above. No matter how hard he tried, he just could not sleep.

The wolf took a look at Conor and the rest, all sleeping peacefully. Uraza's tail shifted to the right slightly, but she remained asleep. Jhi was sleeping comfortably next to Meilin while she used the panda's fur as a pillow. Essix just slept next to Rollan, wings folded together.

They were traveling together, but this time, it was for fun. Erdas was at peace, leaving these eight to be able to do as they pleased for a bit. Olvan had decided that they should travel together, maybe strengthen their bond as a team even further.

So far, it was working, until they had realized they forgot to pack their tents with them. If Briggan could, he would have let out a long sigh at this. Honestly, they could've at least check their items before setting out like a bunch of fools, new to traveling. But, of course, he had no room to speak. He and the other Four Fallen were equally excited by this break, causing all of them to forgot to check their bag.

He took one last small glance at the sleeping children and their spirit animals, then decided to go for a little walk. He didn't really feel like howling as he usually did. He usually just howled to see Conor's face. It was funny seeing his summoner's reaction every time he decided to howl.

Briggan walked through the forest silently. The air was fresh and cool, as it brushed across his silvery gray fur. He smiled silently to himself, and continued walking.

A few minutes of a comfortable silence passed by quickly. Suddenly, Briggan felt something wet touch his front paws. He immediately backed away, surprised at the sudden wet feeling. He looked back at where he stepped. There was what looked like water spilled on the ground.

He couldn't see if it was anything suspicious, but the chance of it being something other than water wasn't too high. He shook his head gently, and walked back to camp.

Everyone was still asleep, so he decided to sleep where he usually would: near Conor, but not too close. He curled up, letting out a soft, wolfish yawn, and fell asleep.

The last thing he was thinking about was what that liquid could be, but... it couldn't be anything horrible, he was sure of that.
