hold my hand and walk with me my dear

Talon was not a particularly brave creature, but even now, he felt especially terrified. Not just for himself, but mostly for Kangi. He had told her -- he loved her. Right now, she was his entire life, and the thought of her being hurt was far too painful for him. Even as he lay pressed to the earth, frozen to the spot, he felt his limbs quivering beneath him. "I.. I think so," he answered timidly. His limbs ached terribly, and he couldn't help but pray that nothing was broken. He would be useless if one of his legs was broken. Could he even walk then? A whimper escaped his throat involuntarily as he struggled to pull himself upright. He was surprised when Kangi walked into him, as he continued to keep his eyes closed, unsure if the dust and debris had settled. When he finally opened his eyes, he noted that Kangi looked just as afraid as he did. Her words made him gasp softly. She couldn't see? Another whine left his lips as he struggled to pull himself upright. Slowly he rose, despite the pain in all of his limbs, watching her carefully. "Kangi..." His words were soft and frail. Was she truly blind in that eye? He swore he saw debris there, her eye filled with dust, but what if it had damaged her eye permanently? He pulled himself closer to her, not wanting her to be afraid. "We'll be fine. We'll find our way out." He didn't sound as confident as he had hoped he would, but he would do anything to get them to safety. Slowly he glanced around. There was an eerie glow in the distance, and though it was sign of something in the darkness, he couldn't help but feel wary about exploring this area below the earth's surface. |
