Boy living between day land and night land is scared of owls.
One night, he loses his friends while hiding from owls.

His friends go to day land. Boy builds a ball to protect himself from owls.

Boy can’t see anything in the blackened ball. Something starts pecking.
“Owls are attacking me!” Boy runs away, rolls away but they keep following Boy.

“Can’t stay like this.” Boy decides to break the ball.


When Boy breaks his shelter, Boy sees his friends. 
It was owls who have brought them to Boy.


Boy and his friends leave together to the day land.
Owls keep their eyes on them, weaving wings, until they cross the border.
