Zara had no time to quarrel. Her legs burned with each step as she trailed behind Kael as he ran into the trees. As it pursued, the stalker roared in a guttural manner, the sound echoing through the trees. Behind them, Zara could hear its heavy footfall and the heated, ragged sound of its breath.
Despite the uneven ground beneath her feet and the branches whipping at her face, she dared not slow down. Kael was a little distance ahead, moving quickly and confidently through the landscape. Zara made an effort to stay ahead, but the stalker was closing in.
