It was the middle of the night; not a sound was heard along these plains, not even the wind, and it was clear that everyone in the area was asleep.
Or well, most everyone.
Now, usually, Meera would either be sleeping in her newest napping spot -- she'd found a good one this time -- or bouncing around, waking everyone up in the process. However, she'd found something far more interesting to look at... the sky. Which wouldn't normally be all that "new", but goodness! She had never seen so many stars up there, and some of them were even streaking across the sky like fireflies.
It was gorgeous, and she was transfixed. The silence that accompanied it made it almost otherworldly in it's beauty. It was rare for something to happen to actually make to decide to sit quietly, but in this case, she'd decided that it was worth it.
