I quickly jumped through, giving Sky's limp body to Tanix.
"Go!" I screamed. "And don't fly! They'll shoot!" Tanix held Sky to his chest and sprinted away.

I was surprised they hadn't seen us. The guards yelled orders, and half the men trotted back to the camp, while the other half trotted to the left. I breathed a sigh of relief as the humans left.
"Come, Theus. We have a meeting at the Life Tree to make!"
