Don't Look Down

Delaeni watched with concern as Azoula slipped on the black ice, her heart skipping a beat as the tigress almost fell on top of her. She took a step back, giving Azoula space to regain her balance, her teal eyes wide with worry. "Are you okay, Azoula?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.

As Azoula picked herself up and looked for an alternative path, Delaeni's gaze wandered over the treacherous terrain. The obsidian rocks were sharp and unforgiving, their surfaces gleaming in the sunlight. The black ice made the footing even more precarious, and Delaeni knew she would have to be extra careful as they continued their ascent. She followed Azoula as they made their way along the new path, the steep incline making her muscles ache with exertion. The forest above seemed to beckon to her, its dense canopy offering a promise of shelter and safety. But the climb was arduous, and Delaeni found herself pausing often to catch her breath and steady her nerves.

Despite the difficulty of the terrain, Delaeni couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration. The beauty of the island was unlike anything she had ever seen, and she was determined to explore every inch of it, no matter the risk. She kept close to Azoula, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger as they continued their ascent. She knew that one wrong step could send her tumbling down the rocky slope, but she was willing to take that risk for the chance to explore this beautiful, untamed island.
