Not Alone

The next morning, the first to wake up from her first night of sleep, was Dawn. Her eyes opened to meet the faint morning lights, and narrowed as a throbbing pain made itself known in her head. As she tried to rise in a sitting position, her sore muscles reminded her of the part she had played in killing the massive lizard the day before, as well as the fact that she was not a cultivator anymore.

As she sat rigidly, still unaware of how to stretch after waking up, Dawn noticed two things. The first one was that the fire that had kept her and her companions warm throughout the night was now almost extinguished.. reason why the temperature had dropped, causing her to wake up. The second thing she noticed was that Daniel was not where he had fallen asleep the night before.
