Pine rushed outside into the fresh air. Then started playing with some sticks again.

Then he saw something move, looking up he saw a beautifull Lupora! He had never seen a Lupora before.

Curious he ran after the Lupora into the forest. Not paying attention to where he was running.

Glitch spotted small group of Sylesties heading toward her. Not wanting to be discovered, she strayed from the path and into some bushes so she wouldn't be seen. Not paying attention to where she stepped, the little Zolnixi soon found herself tumbling down a steep hill.

The fall left her dazed but unhurt. She looked around and found that she was surrounded by slopes. Not knowing which way she fell from, Glitch chose a random hill to climb and continued on her way, looking for the little dirt path.

Pine ran, trying to catch up to the Lupora. In a glimps he saw blue wings and runes.

'Hey, wait up!'

But the Lupora got further away. Pine ran into a bush. He shaked the leaves away. When he looked back up the Lupora was gone.

'Ahh.'

Pine was dissapointed. Thinking it would be best to go home he turned around. Only to see he was in a strange place.

The forest was a bit darker here and there where a few ropes hanging around. Could this be that abandoned place where none of the sylesties went? Then what was the Lupora doing there?

Pine slowly walked, looking around if he could see his footprints and follow them home. But he couldn't.

Starting to Panic he started to run again. Suddenly something slipped onto his paw which made him fall, and on top of him fell a big net.

'Oh no. No no no no. Not good.'

The net was old and had been there a while, but it was still strong enough to hold him. Pine struggeld but couldn;t get out.

'Anyboy, please help me! Anyone? Hello?'

And Pine kept calling.

--
The vorkid heard something interesting in the distance. Was that a sylestie calling for help? And it sounded like a hatchling as well. Oh such good fortune!

Glitch thought she heard someone calling for help and ran in the direction of the noise, finding a Zolnixi about her age struggling to get out of a net trap.

"Wait, stop moving!" she warned him. "You'll get all tangled."

Holding part of the net between her paws, she started biting it to try and free the little male.

Pine was a bit scared of not getting out. But at least there was a sylestie who found him!

He was holding himself very still to make it easyer on the other zolnixi.

After a few minutes later Glitch had made the hole big enough for him to get free.

"Are you okay?" she asked as she helped him squirm out.

Pine craweld out of the net.

'Yes thanks to you, Thank you very much! My name is Pine, who are you?'

So this was Black's son, she wasn't expecting to see him yet. Not out here at least.

She smiled. "You're welcome! I'm Glitch, I only just came here with my big brother today. Your dad and brother came to meet us. I know they're yours because they told us about you."

Looking around she asked, "Um... do you maybe know how to get out of here?"

Pine's ears moved down.

'No, sorry, I am not allowed to go to this part, but I got here withoud paying attention. I was chasing a Lupora but she dissapeared.'



Meanwhile the vorkid could finally see the little hatchling and oh joy there where 2 now!
Now, all that is left is to figure out how to strike...

"Well the main path can't be far away, it only took me a few minutes to get here." Glitch looked around for a solution. "I know! If I climb a tree I can see which way we have to go."
She picked a tall one that she'd be able to see from and dashed over to it. Unfortunately, the first branch was just out of reach. "Hey, I need you to help me up."
