“Hey , hey hey hey!” I woke up to Bulls Eye and John shaking me . Bulls eye started to talk, “ are you okay ? It looked like you were in the middle of having a nightmare ! I have to say , I’m surprised you’re still having bad dreams at this age . I wonder if it’s all the fighting getting to you “. John added, " yeah I said figure out a plan for the little guys . Not to freak out in fear . " Then they both erupted in laughter .

I was just stuck with a silly smile . They don’t realize the crazy dream I just had , so they wouldn’t understand my relief anyways . After being made fun of , I decided not to share my story . I told them both while smiling “ screw off , I just must have had too much on my mind . I will be just alright . Let me gather myself and you two can go and get off my branch , please . “ They obliged and gave me some space . Bulls eye chuckled to himself while leaving , “ anyways we’re glad you’re okay .“

I just needed some space and air after that dream . I wonder how embarrassing I had to be acting . For them to notice and have to come over to my branch and wake me up . I guess I could have asked them before dismissing them . I must’ve been a security liability as well . If the insect warriors noticed me things could have gone sour . It actually made sense though . After struggling with one giant cyclops . Having to fight two of them in the middle of the night , would be a nightmare . Especially if I was left alone by myself . I had goosebumps and shivvered at the thought of everyone being dead .

Once everyone had awaken from their sleep , Visceroy gathered us all at the base of the tree for a meeting . He started to lay out our gameplan . “ First we’re going to assign everyone either offensive duty or defensive duty . The people on offense will be in charge of attacking the insect warriors . The people on defense will be in charge of healing or sniping . We’ll all take the large path in the cave that we discovered earlier . If the path diverges into smaller paths we might have to split up into smaller groups . Either way the groups will stay balanced . Remember we have 3 main goals now . Eradicate major threats that reside in the cave . While trying to bargain for peace and trade if possible . So far that seems unlikely because they keep attacking on sight . The second goal is to map the cave out , as to have information on future expenditures . The third and most important is to discover as much sapphire and or treasure as possible . Make sure to locate even empty wheelbarrows and chest that we could use for storage .

He continued on as we just silently nodded in agreement . “ Rose , Bulls Eye and me will be in charge of defense . Rose can heal us , Bulls eye can attack from range without harming us using his ability . They can both use their abilities from the center of us so that’s where they will be . The rest of us 5 will be on the outside as I guard the rear . The formation will look like a pentagon . 2 in front , 3 in the back . With me as the middle angle in the back . Wade , Illdred , John and Bright will be the other 4 angles using your combat abilities and other means . Rose and BullsEye will assist us from the middle as previously stated .”
