230 Jungle Python

Once he was back inside the tent, Abel stayed with Lorraine the whole night till she slept. Once he was left alone, he activated the seclusion circle to separate himself from Loraine. Loraine was inside, while he and Black Wind were outside.

Now, Abel was worried. He wasn't sure how many people knew about White Cloud's ability to camouflage itself. If there were a lot of people who did, he wouldn't be able to hide so safely.

At midnight, there was a violent explosion outside the camp. More noises followed after, but they didn't last for very long, and it became quiet again.

In the morning, when Lorraine walked out of the tent, she realized that one of them was missing. There was a black charcoal track where it used to be.

 "What happened yesterday, Abel?" she asked Abel.

 Abel explained vaguely, "The dwarves have some issues. They have to sort out themselves. It's not really in our place to meddle."
