Ralph had barely started sleeping when someone walked into the room, a few minutes after he dozed off. They didn't announce their presence to him, they simply walked up to the open windows and closed them shut before walking out.
They left swiftly, making only the slightest sounds from the mesh of their feet against the muddy floor. Leaving Ralph to his sleep, they shut the door and left. Clicks of their feet against the floor, an aftermath of their presence.

Morning came swiftly, like a thief, stealing the darkness from the earth and replacing it with the beautiful light of its radiance. The skies lighted up with an ethereal Morning glow, slight colours of a rainbow streaking across it.
Ralph was still fast asleep, after all this was his real rest after days of travelling. He hadn't slept properly, because no matter how hard he tried his brain remained alert at all times.
