As Maddie headed back out onto the grounds, she thought about this was the final of the observations she needed to do for her long-term assignment. She could always come out here on her own sometime in the future, but as far as actually having to for the assignment, this wrapped it up. She had a newfound hope about seeing the Northern Lights, too. She'd seen them during her third observation, so it wasn't a far stretch to think she might see them tonight, too.

She crossed the grounds and headed toward the hot springs, a place she'd been before when she'd found that mysterious gold coin in the water. Actually, there'd been several there. Odd, but she'd brought it to its proper place, and now it was with the other bits of treasure on the display. She stopped just to the side of the water and spread out her blanket. Once she'd gotten settled on it and taken out her quill and parchment, she laid down and looked up at the sky.

It was pretty clear up there tonight. There weren't any clouds, so she had a good, clear view of the stars. She watched them for a few minutes, and despite the fact that she was here for the Northern Lights, she tried to pick out a few constellations, too. After a while, she moved on to looking at the moon. There were so many things to see in the night sky, but apparently not the Northern Lights. At least not tonight. Oh, well. At least she'd gotten lucky during that last observation. She sighed, sat up, and took some notes on her parchment.
