“Well I think the best name for him is Gunther” he was happy with the name he thought of

Seth got down on the ground pulling out a rope from his back pack. "Gunther! Come here, you wanna play with the rope?" He drug the rope back and forth on the ground.

Jackson laughed as Gunther jumped around playfully and attacked the rope

Tolkalee smiled as he watched the young creature playing with Seth. It was like watching a puppy play. "I didn't know you were such a softy for animals Seth," he teased.
"Yes you did," Seth shot back in a playful way. The two seemed so at ease even though they both knew that they were walking into a war zone, very soon.

Jackson sighed as he looked back at the meat
Kat spoke “so Jackson how are you going to keep Gunther safe?”
Jackson answered “well buelettes are born with titanium like armor so swords can’t hurt him. But as they get older they lose some of that defense for speed and agility”

Tolkalee finished wrapping his shoulder and stood up. "We'll need to set watches through the night. I can take the first one, Kat would you like the one after me?"

“Yeah that’s fine” she answered
Jackson set out his bed roll and Gunther curled up near the fire

Seth set his hand on Tolkalee's shoulder. "I'll take the last watch so, Kat after your shift, wake up Jackson."

“Understood” as she answered she started to lay down she hoped she could at least get some sleep

Tolkalee set himself up a little ways from the camp and began meditating. A good way for him to heighten his senses to better keep watch. Seth sat down and leaned against a log, very quickly seeming to be asleep.

Kat started to drift off a few minutes later

The night began to drag out and Tolkalee didn't move. He was listening to the sounds of the forest around them. An owl called from somewhere, mice were running around, and crickets were singing. Then it slowly got silent. Until the only thing still making any sound was the breeze shaking the leaves. That was when Tolkalee stood up and pulled out his bow.

Jackson and kat were still sound asleep in aware of what was going on around them
(Sorry it took me awhile school just started)

Tolkalee gave a short soft whistle and Seth's eyes opened. He didn't move but he was obviously listening as well. Something was watching them, from somewhere, but neither knew what, or from where.
(No you're fine school starts for me in two days so, we may want to move when we reply to this, to weekends just so school doesn't end up overwhelming us.)

Jackson woke up as well he was confused as to what was happening but decided just to stay quiet

Tolkalee notched an arrow and turned in a slow circle. Nothing moved, but something was watching them.

Jackson moved a bit to ry and get a better angle so he could see what Tolkalee was looking at

It was starting to get extremely cold. Like sub-temperatures, cold. Tolkalee was still scanning and searching for any movement. He got nothing, and Seth didn't either. It was dead silent now. Not even the wind was blowing.

As it got colder kat woke up and her voice sounded a bit groggy “what’s going on?”

Seth was instantly next to her placing a hand to his lips and telling her to stay quiet. He was in a crouched position looking around. Tolkalee suddenly turned on his heel and stared into the darkness on the other side of camp. It became silent again.

(Sorry for being gone so long)
She stopped talking and grabbed her bow from her pack
Jackson lightly picked up the buellette as to not wake him up

(Don't worry about it, you're fine.)
Then a cricket started chirping from somewhere. The temperature began to return to normal, and things began moving around the forest again. Tolkalee slowly let his bow drop and Seth took a silent breath.

Jackson noted the drop of tension in the air he calmly sat down the buellette

Seth looked at Tolkalee. "What was that?"
To which Tolkalee responded with a shake of his head. "I have no clue. But whatever it was, it knows we're here, and I think it was letting us know that it was here."

Jackson spoke up “why would it let us know of it’s presence?”
