As nightfall crawled its way over the sky and wholly overtaken the sun. The stars sparked up high with the moon hidden behind dark clouds. The sound of crackling fires and howls of beast making their presence, that they were there.
Meanwhile, two soldiers were forced to stay awake to keep watch for the night by Captain Hu. They were none other than the two soldiers making those comments. As a small punishment, one of the soldiers on night watch duty was one the night previously. He couldn't keep his eyes open as they were heavily shutting down on him. His head was bobbing up and down, and that was the only way to keep himself awake.
What they didn't know was that this will be the last time they will become sleepy for the rest of their life. Once the owls stop hooting, they will go into a deep slumber for the rest of their life.
