midnight
Patches of wispy-like clouds passed over the moon , in the humid night sky . Pomperaque was unusually quiet this night and the star-gazing Cardinal Orren had noticed it . He also felt ill-at-ease , this night . With pale blue eyes he looked at the moon for most of the evening and after midnight he saw an odd sight in the northern skies . It was a vision that he did not want to accept . At first he thought that his tired eyes were causing the vision but the corresponding feelings that he had when he saw the strange sight , made him take notice , and he reported it to the ArchBishop . Orren was one of the most trusted Cardinals in Manguino 's legion of coenobites .
