I woke up early the next morning, and stretched. The voice in my head had left me alone last night, and I'd slept well. I looked over at Spati and Moonsong and grinned. They were sleeping peacefully.

I slipped out of the clearing and wandered into the woods. When I'd come back, I'd noted several birds' nests, I carefully climbed and raided a few and checked the snares I'd set. I was rewarded by a thin rabbit and three small eggs.

I came back, passed the other two and fed the fire. I spitted the rabbit, and buried the eggs in the embers.

When breakfast was ready I shook the others awake. "Let's eat."

I thought about what Spati had said about the heavenly realms, as I slowly ate my breakfast.

Spati's voice broke through my reverie. "Almost ready to go?"
