Keirus had been hobbling along the mountain ridge all day. He'd made it to the last peak, and was now sitting next to his equipment, watching over the surrounding lands. There was no sign of survival yet.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Perhaps, if there are any left, they have moved on.</span><br/><br/>There was a forest to the north, albeit much more dispersed than the Videlian Woodlands. He was inclined to head there if he couldn't find anyone. After all, he'd lived his life in the forest, and that's where he had experience. Besides, it was probable that he could find some small game to eat. In his current condition, anything bigger than a rabbit would be exceedingly difficult. The moon was high in the sky, illuminating the land around him. He looked towards the valley once more.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Well, if they don't respond..</span><br/><br/>He raised his head, his nose pointing to the sky, and inhaled as deep as he could without flinching from the pain. A howl resonated across the land, echoing off the western mountain ridge. He waited a few minutes after it faded, listening for a reply.<br/><br/>..Nothing. He sat up, grabbing his equipment as he did so, and began to trek north toward the small forest.
