[Lily POV]

BANG-NG-NG

I woke to the sound of explosions, to the hurried foots of the people below the veranda. Both happened at the same time. The explosions and the footsteps of the fearful masses. I turned around and rose from my slumber.

Sleep was evident in my eye, gunk and whatnot tore me from the comfort of the sheets. I let go of the breath I held and with it the covers that veiled me from the harsh reality of the day.

Once I had let go of my attachments, of the comfort of the warm dark abyss that was my bed. I was able to pull myself from that dark embrace.

And with the pull there was another one, a call to action and movement. Where once was my pajamas, clothes that covered none but the bare essentials. Now there was a battle ready suit, one made of the greatest silks that the spiders could produce.
