It was true that there wasn’t nearly as many people left here at the camp. Well, what was left of the camp after the beasts had all but decimated their last vestiges of survival and shelter. A frown slowly spreading across her usually cheerful face. As the sense of loneliness started to settle in once again, which she tried to quickly shake off. [h1][/h1] [color=f7941d]“That may very well be so, but that doesn’t mean we are hopeless or helpless, if the others have truly left us, we still have everyone else who remains here to rely on.”[/color] Ayana tried to reassure him. It being clear to her that he was struggling with coming to terms with it. It didn’t feel great to acknowledge that fact herself. Though she knew that they couldn’t dwell on it for long or feel sorry for themselves. They still had a lot of things to do and accomplish even if the others had left them behind. [h1][/h1] [color=f7941d]“We need to get a head count of who still remains here, and try to establish some kind plan on what we should do with who remains, it doesn’t look like we can just remain here and survive, we will need to find somewhere with the sustainability to support our group with both shelter and food, it doesn’t feel good that the others just ditched us like that, but maybe they didn’t have a choice in the matter….regardless we need to focus on our own survival….we should move out first thing in the morning once it gets light again”[/color] Still having some hope left in her that the others had just gotten separated temporarily. That they had gotten lost on their way back or had to take shelter elsewhere because of the danger presented by the beasts. [h1][/h1] While also trying to reassure Kogen and the others around her. Knowing that they needed to regroup and recompose themselves. Time was off the essence and the sooner they found a place to establish a shelter and start gathering resources the better in her mind. The last thing in her mind right now was getting revenge on those that had abandoned them. She still didn’t know the full story for the reasons yet, as she tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. [h1][/h1] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [h1][/h1] The next morning soon came, this day being a very important one. What they could accomplish today would be crucial to their chances down the road. Still feeling exhausted and rather tired after the previous nights experience. She didn’t let this slow her down, her determination driving her forward. [color=f7941d]“Lets leave this camp behind, it is bad luck, and I bet you anything, those beasts will keep returning here night after night until we are all wiped out, they know we are here and they seem determined to eliminate every last one of us….if we can find some running water, like a river, we can follow it and see if we can locate a suitable area of cover, preferably somewhere that has the high ground that gives us a nice protected sheltered area that lets us see any dangers that may approach if possible”[/color] Expressing her thoughts to Kogen, Shun, and Rin and anyone else who remained at the camp. Her face still covered in dirt from the night before as was her single tail of hair. Dark circles under her determination filled eyes which burned like a fire amongst the sapphire blue.
