The rain poured heavily that night, as Noir, Lorna and Galand took shade under the Magic barrier of Galand, and slept on the makeshift beds Noir transformed using his magic. Though the rain could not reach them, and they were kept warm by the fire within white light emanating around them, it took them a while to sleep that night.
Probably due to all the excitement experienced that day, or the sounds generated as the rain beat the nearby trees, splattered on the muddy ground, and splashed on the magic barrier. It could also have been due to the newly established bond between this total stranger and the aides of the princess, or the wariness of any surprise attacks, but that was their anxiousness was lessoned, thanks to the presence of Noir.
Eventually, they all slept peacefully, under the shade of the green magic barrier, and the steady beats of the rain drops.
