Dugon had eaten the fish, watching Zet and Marina disappear to look for a special herb. He sat close to the fire, enjoying the warmth of it. He noticed Ryu and Tess finally returning to the camp. Raiyla thanked him, which he commented by a nod that could only red 'you're welcome'. Than he slowly began to realize that the fight in the night, the short time to sleep had stressed his body quite a bit. He wasn't so energetic like he had been used to be during his youth. He found that his thought were slowly drifting off, he began to grow tired. As he knew it would take a while till the two returned and the others were save for now, he just closed his eyes for a bit. They would surely do something to catch his attention, should he be needed. To others, he turned into a motionless stature, should they watch him from afar. He fell into a light, dreamless sleep.

After some time, he woke up again, hearing the other speaking about their next steps. He yawned a bit, stretching his arms out, which sounded like stone grinding on other stones, as he moved his shoulders. He looked up to the others, who have gathered around the camp fire. Even the two youngsters have returned, after their time alone in the forest. Dugon wondered how long he was out. Looking up in the sky, he saw that it was indeed quite some time. He turned his head to the others, listening to Ryu's explanations quietly. He indeed agreed with the plan, thought he was surprised to hear that there were only four commanders in the whole army of the Dark Kingdom. How would be assured that the orders are carried out correctly? Ryu had no reason to lie to them, so he was just confused. He had no plan to offer yet, so he just sat there watching the others discuss, while thinking about a plan himself.
