As you looked at the members of your sleeping colony and thought about your strange dream. Meanwhile in a forest in New Zealand a young short tailed bat was having a similar dream.

~New Zealand (Karn) ~

The young short tailed bat was hanging in the hollow tree that his colony used to roost. He had the typical dark brown fur of his kind the only difference was his pale sightless eyes and the scar he bore as a reminder of the day he lost his sight. The one year old short tail is named Karn and at the moment he was dreaming.

Dream: He found himself flying in a place with no sound and no wind a place of nothing and yet he could feel himself flying and boy was he scared he was flying completely blind. He could hear nothing and his echo vision brought back images of shifting grays like fog but no trees or ground. "Hello is anyone there? What is this place? Someone say something anything! Mom, dad, Whitewind, anyone? (Karn) "Do not panic young one. There is no danger here, you are safe but you must hear and remember what I'm going to say. You must leave your roost and fly with four others to distant lands for you are the seeker. It is your place to find the others and to lead them through darkness they do not know. Now hear well young seeker a journey must begin. Five leave their roost, only three will return. A forest in flames, a jungle stripped bare. Five bats from far and wide. Fight to save all of bat kind. You must seek out the seer, the healer, the speaker, and the warrior and bring them together in order to save our kind from a threat that seeks to wipe out all of bat kind. (As the voice was telling him of the bats he must find he could see them with his echo vision and was surprised by how greatly bats could differ from each other.)" (?) Dream End.

Karn woke up with a start using his echo vision to make sure he was still in his tree hollow where he lived, which was near the one occupied by his parents and their newborn daughter. Convinced that he was still home he let himself think back on his dream and thought about how he would be able to find four strange bats when he himself could not see and had never wandered far from his colonies roost. After a moment he closed his eyes to go back to sleep having already decided to set out first thing tomorrow night to start his journey despite his fear and uncertainty.

~Australia (Rain / Yerk) ~

Looking around the only place you have ever known you decided that you could not start this journey by yourself so you decided that you would talk with Yerk to see if he would go with you.

"Well the voice never said anything about having to go alone to find the other bats, whoever they are and to save our kind from whatever it is that is endangering us. I don't like this there are way to many "ifs" in this whole plan if you can even call it that. I hope one of the other bats know more about this then I do." (You)

And with that you decided to go back to sleep until sunset when you hoped to talk to Yerk and get going.
