I looked up from my spell book to realize that somehow the guard had been changed while I read. I laughed to myself, "Well, that seems to be me, no matter 'who' I am. Start reading and forget everything." I stood up and stretched and glanced over to see if Polgara was awake and ready to take watch with me. She was still quiet, but alert and willing to do whatever was needed.
As I walked around the campfire, I unconciously counted my companions. "Wait," I whispered. I stopped and counted again. "Who's missing?" I whispered to myself. I looked closer at all the sleeping people, some on their backs, some on their sides, some snoring and some floating just inches above the ground (the imp, of course, and ... he was pink again!). I giggled, I really couldn't help myself. But nowhere did I see a winged shape, even up in the trees.
I walked over to Kiya, "Polgara and I will take over guarding the camp now. Have you seen Viper? I'm worried, this is all so new ... old... I don't know what to us, but I'm worried about everyone adjusting. Do you think he's okay?"
