Rain lashed against the damp cave walls as a Trikru warrior slumped on a cold stone ledge. Pale and bleeding from a deep abdominal wound, he fought the encroaching darkness. Fear gripped him—not just from pain, but the knowledge that Trikru did not bleed alone. Thunder rumbled outside, masking his approach. He knew the 'Sky People' camp was near, led by Bellamy and Clarke. With no other choice, he forced himself up, every step a knife of agony. Through the blurring forest, he pushed toward the camp walls. Monty and Ian spotted him, rifles shaking but aimed true. 'Freeze!' Monty shouted, while Ian called for Bellamy. The guards held their ground, unwilling to lower weapons against the dying Grounder.
