Chap 34: A Good Night's Sleep
The sound of the storm outside beat against the sides of the cabin, threatening to tear the walls down. Rain fell heavily through the night. Drake lay awake while his friends slept through the noise.
Even though he was exhausted, he couldn't sleep. It wasn't the sound of the storm outside, nor was it the pounding of the rain on the glass windows that kept him awake. He couldn't sleep because he knew his friends wanted to go home, and there was nothing he could do to make that happen, other than completing the quest to find the Cave of Valor and receive the staff.
Chad almost died in Draco Town, and he himself almost died from an assassin on the road. His gut told him that there were powers at play that were trying hard not to allow him to complete his quest. It made him want to complete it even faster, more in fear for his friends than himself.
