Shae wasn’t sure they were going to make it out of this, fright held her tightly. She grit her teeth and held on as tightly as she could, hoping and praying that the two of them made it through this sudden storm. She tried not to think about what it would be like to drown. Shae held on and closed her eyes tight until the raft crashed violently onto the shore. She blinked her eyes open in surprise at the sudden difference of solid land beneath them. The rain and wind was still buffeting them and the raft but they were alive. They weren’t going to drown today.
Balthier nuzzled against her as he asked after her welfare, his concern was sweet and calmed Shae considerably. She didn’t know where they were but she had her older cousin to look after her, so they would be alright. Right? She didn’t know what they were going to do now, but Balthier led her off the raft and pointed their attention towards the mountains in the background.
Timidly Shae nodded at his suggestion before Balthier returned to the raft for the supplies he’d brought along. He returned to her side and Shae paced along closely beside him as they hurried towards the treeline and hopefully shelter from the storm and rain. She tried not to think about how far away from home they really were.
