Not Anymore

Under the humongous tree, Nile and his two pets were sleeping soundly. Maximo was snoring loudly while his ears were flapping up and down. Croco was still as a lake, while Nile's head was moving up and down due to him, using Maximo's stomach as his pillow.

Nile was already deep in sleep and was already having a good dream inside his head. However, he soon opened his eyes as he heard a commotion from the distance.

Being alert was something Nile wanted to do every time. 

Nile gets up and looks towards where the sound was coming. On this silent and serene night, the sound of footsteps that came from outside the bamboo encirclement was apparent.

The footsteps kept on getting nearer as Nile unsheathed his Katana just in case something unusual broke out. Maximo and Croco were also awakened by the sound of footsteps in the distance.
