APOLLOS' POV.... The next morning
Ug.
I stand up, and realize something odd.
I stand up straight, and something bumps my back.
I turn, and realize I never switched back.
I focus on the human side, and my Shadows let it be dominant again.
I let my Shadows out, and walk out of my tent.
Pandora warbles, and continues to sleep.
Lazy dragon.
I look at the camp, and nearly scream.
They're gone?
A map is tied to a post in a hurried knot.
A red fluid lays all over the place.
They found me.
I glance around, heart slowly coming to terms with what happened.
I cut the map down, and a note falls into my hand.

I sigh, and open the map

I sigh, and open the map. I groan.
The only safe spot is the war zone. That means no stopping.
I pull the Shadows in, and I wake Pandora up.
She groans, but I wake her up.
She growls when I insist we get out now.
She warbles, and helps me pack whatever is left.
We end up with a tent, a sleeping bag, a bag of jerky, and a full canteen.
I hear rustling, and leap onto Pandora.
It fades, and we take to the sky.
