Kirain was not going to stop, this Stardust knew. Though she made it out of the danger (so far), she was already starting to feel a heavy guilt in her belly. Kirain had helped her get out…and she doesn’t know if she would have survived otherwise. But what if Stardust had caused her death instead? And she had left behind a family? Already, just moments later, it was starting to eat her up on the inside.

Both of them were somewhat dazed by the situation, touched by the surge of adrenaline in their bodies. Kirain grabbed the rune, and Stardust felt her on her side as they moved away from the crumbling earth. Stardust panted heavily, her front legs shaking with each step. She stumbles, scraping her knee as she yelps. Her legs were giving out, lacking energy from pulling herself up.

”Grah!” she complained, blood touching her body as she growled softly in frustration. They had moved many feet away, but were they safe here? She tried to stand up but she wobbled again.

The scent was still strong in the air. The scent of sweet flowers, that they were going to go find and instead found the ground was not their friend anymore. But the scent somehow felt stronger now, and it seemed to contribute to her wobbliness. Or was she making that up? She looked to Kirain now, cyan eyes blinking as she felt great appreciation towards her.

Her lips quiver. The can hear the ground cracking many feet behind them, but she wasn’t sure if it was coming towards them. ”Oh Kirain, you could have died!” she cried out, upset at everything and not knowing how to handle it. Her ears pin back as she frowned. She thought of how much they had gone through together and her heart swelled, but she couldn’t get herself to move. Eyes flicker back down to her knee, and seconds after the waterworks began to flow.
