Run for the Cave

Aa

Text size

A line of humans wades through a wide river at dusk while giant nesting dinosaurs stand on the far bank and one woman carries a smoking branch.

The clan carried the remaining eggs toward the river path, but the adult dinosaurs were still following close behind. Eren kept shouting for everyone to stay together and not split up, because any gap could cost them their lives.

Tala led them through shallow water so the chase would become harder to follow. Ahead of them, Sora used the signal horn to warn the people in front, and the injured hunter was helped along because he could not run well.

When they reached the cave, Tala ordered everyone inside before the herd got there. The humans threw stones and built a fire at the entrance to block it, and after a while the dinosaurs lost the trail and moved away.

Inside the cave, the clan counted the eggs and the food they had brought. They could see that the cave could hold them for many days, and Bran finally admitted that Tala's plan had saved them.
