She leaped from her cot. How long had she been sleeping? Why hadn't anyone woken her? She quickly suited up in her full plate and walked out. Everyone else seemed to be waking up as well. Not only had the sky changed but the flora had transformed. She looked around and saw evidence of the battle the night before. It seemed the alien creatures had come with the change. "<strong>This is indeed a foreign land.</strong>" she said aloud. "<strong>We'll eat breakfast and retrace our steps.</strong>" She found it strange to call the meal breakfast when the sun indicated it was midday. "<strong>We will return to the castle and report what we've found.</strong>"<br/><br/>It would be good to return, Carissa thought to herself. In her mind the exploratory mission would be a success as long as they could make it back.<br/>"<strong>Grace, if you would be so good as to make us some coffee.</strong>"
