Leona's POV:

I can't go to sleep. I lie on my bed staring at the ceiling, thinking about life. Why am I even here. What should I be doing. What is life. I see an owl perch on the windowsill, of the open window, next to my bed.

Biggelsworth: "Hey Leona!"

Leona: "Hey Biggelsworth, um shouldn't you be with Lucinda?"

Biggelsworth: "Yeah, but I was taking a late night fly, when I saw Névma in the forest. She told me to tell you, to meet her at the Grotto.

Leona: "Yes Névma! I haven't seen her in so long. Thanks for the heads up, Biggelsworth."

Biggelsworth: "Anythime Leona."

I get out of my bed and do a little, stretch. I look under my bed to find, my bow staff. I take it and with an elegant stride, I leaped out of my window, and fell on a stack of hay.

I sneak through the night, hiding behind barrels and bushes, till I eventually get to the wall. I climb up to the top of the guard tower, that is attached to the wall, by placing my hands through the cracks, and pulling myself up to the roof.

I look down to see Brian right under me at his post, which is in front of the door, leading into the tower. He looked pretty tired, so this should be a piece of cake. I found a small pebble, and threw it at a barrel about three feet, from Brian. He jolted up, and instantly started to proceed to the barrel, with caution.

While he was distracted, I jumped down on the other side of the wall, and start sprinting deep, into the forest.

Terraemotus POV:

What is that I see in the distance..... Is that person running away? Do my eyes deceive, me. Mabe, it is a theif. I must find out! I walk down the main guard tower, and start heading for the tower that Brian, is supposed to be guarding.

Leona's POV:

Finally I am here. Hmm, the Grotto is a lot quieter at night. Where is Névma?
Well it's to dark to go around looking for her, so I guess I'll just wait here.
Hmm while I'm here I can practice my technique a little bit. I use the little bit of wool, and sticks I have to craft a training dummy.

I pick up my boa staff, and then bow. I jump at the dummy will the force of a ram, and the speed of a jaguar. I hit its left arm, then I quickly spin into a smack, to the right arm. As I fight, I weave my body, imagining the dummy is fighting back.

Terramotus: "You leave yourself way to open."

Leona: "WHO ARE YOU!"

I held my boa staff close to me, preparing to strike, when out of the shadows came a leg that tripped me. I was frozen there on the floor, too scared to even move. It was to dark to see its face, but I could see that the figure was large, and extremely bulky. He took out something from his belt, and swung it in my direction. I closed my eyes, and waited for him to chop my head off. I opened my eyes 30 seconds later, to reveal that he was holding a torch.

Terraemotes: "Why are you outside of the wall so late!?! Explain yourself!

Oh crap, this is even worse than I thought. He isn't a murderer! He is one of Aphmau's, new guards! I am in sooooo much trouble."
