I woke up to find that I was laying in my tent. I sat up and looked around. Everything was the same. I concluded that what I had been thought that night was just a dream. I laid back down and closed my eyes. Then I remembered the creature stabbing my tent, so out of curiosity I opened one eye and looked up.
I sat up straight looking up with both eyes and starred in horror at what I saw.
There were big slash marks at the top of my tent. I reached up and felt the slash marks to make sure this wasn't my imagination. I felt them, and concluded that the marks are real. I then realized I was in my traveling clothes. I raced out of the tent and ran over to Sila.
When I finally was standing next to her, I could see no sign of the creature being there except for the slash marks on my tent.
"Where is the creature's body?" I asked Sila. Sila just looked at me then she turned her head towards a spot in the tall grass next to my tent. I looked where she was looking and saw a dark shape in the grass so I walked over to it.
I spread the grass and looked down at the creature's robe.
Its wrinkled up robe was laying there with no sign of a body being in it. I knelt down and picked up a stick, then poked at the robe, nothing was in it. I picked up the robe and carried it over to Sila and put it in one of her saddlebags. Just in case I needed to disguise myself. Then I went over to my camp and started taking it down.
After I was done taking my camp down and packing it, I started to get up on Sila, then I looked over at the fire pit and remembered how I couldn't get it to light the night before. Out of curiosity I climbed back down and walked over to the fire pit. I tried to light it, and it lit! "I wonder what happened last night?"
I walked back over to Sila and mounted her. And once again I rode off again towards my destination, Talia.
