After listening to Nash's story Megaira felt rather sleepy, and seeing as how no one else was telling stories they all agree to sleep and take night shifts. As Megiara watched everyone but Roland who had the first shift fall asleep she told Roland, "I'll be out for a bit but I'll return very soon," as she walked a distance where she can't see the camp. She then cast an illusion of a hideous beast that was not from these woods and began to talk to herself, "As safe as the group may be, I still don't like sleeping without a little protection, and as long as no one from there comes here they shouldn't see a thing. Should I explain to Roland at least and past it down to the others... No, I think they wouldn't come this far, or at least hope so." She returned to camp where she fell right to sleep after saying good night to Roland.
