It was somewhere around midnight, and even the biolumiscent fauna in the water and near by tree line had already began to die down in brightness as if it too, was going to sleep.
The village was quiet, practically all marui pods were dark, without a sound coming from inside. It was a peaceful night, and no one could imagine anything that could destroy it as they dreamed in what looked like a death like state. Deep sleep having taken ahold of them like a disease.
