The night passed without further incident, the mist disappearing as suddenly as it had arrived, but the wind continued to howl. The soldiers were visibly shaken, sleeping restlessly when they weren't on watch. The wind died down sometime in the night as they slept. Red had read the bones before putting them back into their pouch before taking a position back near the tents. Whether he actually slept or not no one would know, as he was the first to be up and moving around the camp come the morning.<br/>
<br/>
The soldiers chatted among themselves while they made breakfast - oats boiled in water to make a porridge which they shared among all. The horses were tended to, no worse for wear after the events of the night, and the camp was packed up. The burdens of the pack horses were lightened as the missing soldiers horse was used  to carry some supplies as well. <br/>
<br/>
With a full day of travel ahead, water was drunk deeply before refilling the waterskins. A mark was made on the water tank, after a soldier tapped on its side until the hollow sound was replaced by a full one, marking the water line and how much had been consumed by the party. <br/>
<br/>
Holger remained quiet, his mind wandering to his own thoughts though he resumed his place at the head of the small party, right up behind the soldiers. The soldiers started moving so he did as well, each step taking them closer to the Outpost across the Sea of Grass.<br/>
<br/>
Shortly before midday, however, the head of the column gave out a cry and diverted from the path, trampling  into the grass beside the trail. Holger was called up to the front and kicked his horse forward, telling the rest of the party to hold their position. A short while later, another soldier moved down to the line and called for Will Riot to move to the front.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(241, 241, 212)"> F1F1D4 <br/>

Holger had dismounted by the time Will Riot arrived. He squatted down in the middle of the path, eyes looking forward. Before them was the missing soldier - or at least, what remained of him. His uniform and armor was intact, not a mark on it. His body, however, was gone...or at least most of it was. The area around his body was dirt, like the path they walked on, an oval shape around his body where grass would normally have been.<br/>
<br/>
"What do you see, Scout?" Holger asks gruffly.<br/>
