Uncharted lands

This was going to work just fine.  Thorn hopped, sized up the jump, and hopped again.  Easy.  Then one cracks, crumbles, and falls into the lava.  Thorn’s feet scrabble for purchase and quickly keep hopping to the end.  Pain is flaming on his back right leg.  He didn’t need to look to imagine where the lava splashed him, the pain was pulsating with his every heartbeat.

The dark guide had once again helped and Thorn gave a small nod of thanks. “Appreciate that, thank you.” The words of gratitude are sincere, his tone hushed and the last part hissed out with the pain.  Well, the leg is still there and now what was all fun and games was far more serious.  He needed to get to a healer and that meant getting out of here as fast as possible.

While it was burning with pain it appeared the leg was still working.  There were no great options here and they all meant using the injured leg.  Taking a few deep slow breaths Thorn worked at centering himself.  When the moment felt right he ran, all legs forced to work as he hit the edge, lifting his frame off the ground as he attempted to jump over the gap.  

Strength - Jump the gap
