Nala kept looking behind them. She knew well that they were being chased. All four of them could head the sounds of the Ostrich-Horses advancing towards them, and it seemed like that were already getting closer. Very soon after, the one in the far back, Bato, was able to hear a small whizzing sound that pierced through the air. It didn't get very loud, but he knew what it was. "They're firing!" He shouted at Barrok, who looked back at the three of them and glanced at the ground behind them. He didn't looked at them for very long, since he was forced to navigate through the forest. He called back out to them, glancing at them once more. "Then do something! I can't use water right now since I don't know if we'll get the chance to purify some more, and if we get thirsty then we won't have anything to drink." It was a surprise to tall of them when they narrowly escaped with little to no weaponry. The only weapon other than Barrok's bending was a bow and a few arrows they managed to pick up. There weren't many arrows, and one one of them knew how to actually fire the arrows properly. Sozin, the man in between Bato and Nala, held onto the bow and pulled out an arrow from the Quiver on his back and fired one, hoping to do something.

"Come on Kuei, Faster!' Barrok called out to his companion, who was making en effort to keep the young man and his friends alive. Unfortunately, not long after the Armadillo-Bear made an effort to go faster, an arrow made it's way to the back of it's leg. Although Kuei didn't stop, it did slow down very much. Nala looked at Barrok with alarm and glaned behind them "They're going to catch up! What's wrong with Kuei?" She was quickly answered by Bato, who could see the arrow when Kuei's foot moved backwards. "It's an arrow! I can't get to it, it's too far!"
