Chapter 22

“Your leg,” Ulissa said. “It’s been a while since we checked it.”

“We can wait till tonight when we get to the flats,” said Yaliana through gritted teeth.

“Are you sure?”

“There’s nothing we can do about it now anyway. Let’s go.” She stood and limped to the base of the huge tree.

Ulissa sighed and followed, aligning herself with the centre of the base, then lining up her compass so it pointed towards where she had seen the flats. “That way,” she said, pointing.

She and Yaliana made slow progress through the forest. Yaliana limped as she walked, and finally, Ulissa called a halt.

“We need to make you a crutch of some type to take the weight off your leg.”

“I’m fine.”

“You’re not,” argued Ulissa, and before Yaliana could protest, she found a sturdy branch that could be used as a cane.
