The day was extremely boring. I honestly thought it would turn out to be more eventful. At night, I just got into my bed and lay there, trying to fall asleep. I always thought if anything didn't work for me, at least sleep was there for me. This night, even sleep was angry and sad at the lack of events in the day. So I acted like I was sleeping so people won't think I am weird. At around 2 in the night, I heard a creak from the bunk above me, and saw Jaime jump off his bunk, carefully look around, then look at me, then walk towards the magic blanket covering the door. He put his hand to the blanket and muttered "Master Jaime says open." and the blanket actually opened up. I quickly got out of bed, silently, and then ran towards the blanket after Jaime went through the blanket. I but when I was about to go through the archway covered by the blanket, it hardened again and blocked me.

I put my hand to the blanket "Chosen One"  and I could hear an ominous sound in my mind asking what I wished to do. "Open the blanket for me to pass through. Then shut again." I commanded. The blanket obeyed, and I passed through. I asked my crystal to locate Jaime and then lead me to him. "But I wish to keep my distance." I emphasized. The crystal did not answer. Suddenly, I saw blue wispy arrows pointing to a path. I soon understood and followed the arrows. The arrows led me through the large number of pathways that riddled the mastery grounds. Soon, I realized what path I was on, and where it led me. To the hole behind the painting. I had forgotten to tell Orvax and dad about the hole, but the monsters must be thinking that it had been filled already.

I made a quick turn and saw Jaime pull the painting open slightly, and then slip through the hole. I waited for a few seconds then proceeded to do the same. After I reached outside, I was surprised at the awfully large number of wildlife which bloomed in the mastery grounds at night. It was completely different from when it was day, and we were shown of how the outside world looks. I looked around to locate Jaime, and saw his fading silhouette going towards the forest, where most of the titanic and ruthless creatures lived. I couldn't let him go in there alone.
