-15 miles inland-

A jungle area with a couple of waterfalls, echoing with laughter and joy. Yet, before the jungle upon a dry riverbed, laid a bruised young man, his clothes shredded, his skin covered in dirt, and his lungs breathed harshly. This man was Valafoot. A tiny pack of Wolf Hawks crowded over this man, screeching and howling as they check Vala if he is still alive. Suddenly, whoops came out of nowhere, and a duo of humans ran into the Wolf Hawks, snapping and growling.

A young man by the age of 14 summers, dark-skinned, tall for his age, amber brown eyes, and dirty blond hair laughed out loud as he smoothed down his clothes, a large stitched dusty brown Wolf Hawk cloth, with a necklace of sharp Jackrobat fangs. "I love this, sneaking up on Wolf Hawks, don't you think, Pagi?".

The said Pagi is another young man by the age of 12 summers, sun-tanned, wiry, stormy blue eyes, and messy ebony black hair. He chuckled, "Yep, I sure do, Mund. And you still wonder why your sister wouldn't join us.". He dusted off his clothes, which is a full dark brown Ramu cloth, with a necklace of a single juvenile Ramu horn.

Mund called out, "Hey, Pagi. You gotta see this. It's another one of us! I think he's still alive.". He was hovering over Vala, wincing visibly at the bruises Vala held, and looking closely, Vala's right foot was covered in dried blood. Pagi sighed, and came over, and widened his eyes, "What creature have done this?".

Mund muttered softly, "He looks like he's badly hurt. We should take him back. Maybe Hasu has something to help this fella.".

Pagi nodded, and called Mund to grab Vala by the feet, while he grabbed Vala by the shoulders, and together, they carried Vala quickly into the jungle, heading to a time-worn cave in the eastern side of the jungle, where Pagi, Mund, and Mund's sister Hasu calls home.

Mund called out, "Hasu, you home? We got somebody here! He's still alive, but badly hurt.".

A sharp, female voice shouted out, "You made me lose my concentration, Mund, you idiot brother!". A dark-skinned, short, young lady of 11 summers old, amber brown eyes, and dark brown hair in a crude ponytail, clothed in a dark red Zeaver dress. This was Husa, the sister of Mund.

Husa widened her eyes as she came out, seeing Valafoot held by her brother and Pagi. "Bring him in, get him on your bed, Mund. We need to clean him out, check his wound.". The boys bought Vala inside, laid him down, as Husa fetched a basket of herbs, and a large bowl of water. Vala was unconscious as his visible skin was scrubbed clean, and his wound was a single clash upon his right foot. Hasu flushed out the dry blood, and grabbed a few herbs to heal the wound steadily as they could. Husa finished, bandaged the clash up, and told the boys.

"Now it's only time to see if he can wake up on his own, and find out what happened.". Husa commented airily. The boys nodded, and left, talking on plans to grab some lunch. Husa glanced over to Vala, "You better be okay, mister.". She left, heading to a nearby cave where her medicine and herbs was stored.
