All dusk long, there was something to do. You had either set out after Beo (only to be turned back by a most shadowy hand-in-a-bush), stayed at the camp, or gone with Sybil on the Ghost Tour. Camp was calm, and the rest of the night went off without any issue, thankfully. The Ghost Tour was a blast—mostly because it wasn't some cheesy set-up thing... apparently Sybil actually knew a lot of the ghosts and got them to appear for a chat. Her secondary motive, as some lambies had caught on, was to gather information as well.
The Tour crew headed back as the sky began to brighten in Castellina. A real sunrise, now that's a nice change! Sybil pulled their giant carriage back into the enchanted area, and things shifted to the familiar moon-day blue. She brought them back into the campground proper, and then took a good look around. Everything seemed ok?
She sent the rest of the lambies back to activities or to rest for moon-day and things were peaceful. Too peaceful. As dusk fell, she gathered everyone for Fireside. This time, Beo joined you all.

Beo appears calmer and overall much less bestial than what you saw the other night.
Sybil gestures in his direction, introducing you, "Revelers, this is Beo, for those who have not properly met him. He is known as the Elder of the Children—a protector." Beo nodded at the group, silently.
Before Sybil can continue, somewhere in the crowd a small voice blurts out: "Did you find the monster??" Beo's expression softens at the sound of the lambaby's query and he carefully rests on the ground at everyone's (well, mostly-everyone's) eye level. In a very low rumbling voice, he replies, "Yes. I did."
At this, Sybil rests her head on the ground too, looking at him expectantly like a giant version of all the other curious lambies in the crowd, "Ohhh?"
Beo closes his eyes a moment, and then continues, "A nightmare splinter. A piece of a dream. Chaotic. Mostly harmless," he unfurls a giant paw to reveal a jar with a little shadowy, glowing worm inside. If a worm could look angry, this was an angry shadow worm. "The beast was made of splinters. A panicking nightmare of fragments. I have caught only this one." He sighs gruffly, "I did not know it was made of splinters. Disappointing. I enjoyed the hunt regardless."
Sybil pondered this new information, and combining with what she'd gleaned from the ghosts last dusk, she was starting to piece things together. "So, if it's made of splinters, then the beast is still splintered right now?"
"Yes." came the gruff reply, "If we do not catch it, it will gather together again. It needs to be returned to whose nightmare it split from."
That was good enough for Sybil. "Excellent. For those of you who are feeling brave and ready to get out there, we need help gathering the nightmare splinters. There shouldn't be any forces nearly as scary as what you saw the other night, unless they have a chance to re-form. So let's make sure to beat them to it."
She gathers up as many jars or containers as possible and hands them out, along with a host of butterfly nets and lights of varying types (someone came prepared). Before you leave, she adds: "And stay together!"

Time to catch some nightmare splinters... The more, the better. Keep on the lookout for shadow lambies, if you do! Art or writing is ok!
