Chapter Twenty One.

The air was humid, it made Rishio sweat even more adding to the fact that yey had been running for almost two hours straight.

Since yey could not hear the others behind yey'r, yey slowed to a jog as yey approached a large tree that yey deemed would be a perfect hiding spot.

It's branches seemed thick enough to hold yey'r weight and the leaves were large enough to hide yey'r from any danger and the height of the tree would serve yey'r well for spotting any enemies nearby. This was not yey'r permanent shelter but it would serve yey'r for now as yey took a rest and gathered yey'r thoughts so as to plan yey'r next move.

Just as yey had secured a comfortable spot on the tree, a bloodcurdling bellow followed by several human screams pierced through the forest.

"The hell was that?" Rishio mumbled to yey'rself as yey'r eyes scanned the horizon where the sounds came from.
