Yuna roared with all her strength and gave one final push, trying to prevent the piece of land from falling. She couldn't hold on much longer, as she felt the control slip away from her. The piece of land finally fell, hitting the ground. Shadow rushed over to her, shielding her from the flying rocks. Once everything had settled, everyone emerged from their hiding places. Shadow's gaze peered at her when he heard some light pants coming from Yuna, noticing that her body was trembling slightly. Aqua and Sparrow managed to escape just in time, avoiding the downfall from the land. He shook off his fur and wings, when a small yelp escaped from someone. He turned his head towards the sound, and found Aqua tending her back paw.

"Are you okay?" Sparrow asked, concerned. "My paw hurts a little," Aqua winced as she moved her leg a bit. After Sparrow examined her paw, there was a small cut. "It doesn't look too bad. Can you walk?", he inquired. Aqua nodded, trying to put weight on her paw. "I think I can manage", she assured them, masking the sharp pain she felt. Upon leaving, the pack was a few miles ahead till Yuna's strength waned and collapsed. Her head revolved and her body began to hurt, she felt too weak to get up. Quickly, Shadow moved her and placed her next to a big stone. She needed food urgently.

Insistent to find safety, Sparrow decided to hunt while Aqua insisted on accompanying him, despite her injury. Together, they returned with small birds for substance. Amidst their weariness, Shadow carefully assisted Yuna in eating, tearing the meat into bite-sized pieces for her weakened state. After sharing the collation, he lifted her on his back and searched for a secure resting place knowing the dangers lurking around them. Sparrow guided them towards a large dead tree where they could rest and settle Settling under the "shade". Yuna leaned against the rough bark, feeling the throbbing pain subside thanks to her pack. With eyes heavy with exhaustion, she drifted into a restless sleep.
