Sagiri moved quickly. He was sure he had six strong heartbeats. There was no mistake about that. He followed the sound further into the valley in the direction he had heard it. He could feel them getting fainter and fainter until it was gone. Even more, while he had run deeper into the cave, somehow it felt as if he had managed to go in circles, or if he was completely lost.
"Zaira, aren't you supposed to be like Oka and take me to the squad? You are really hopeless. If only your mother could see you shamelessly sleeping in enemy territory." Sagiri said, but Zaira did not even stir, and he did not slow down even one bit.
No wonder Kiuga had sent him a message. It has been almost two days now since he received the message, and he did not like the odds. There was a possibility that something bad had happened. If something had happened, Sagiri was going to flatten the valley so that whatever stayed in it or whoever did not have one rock to hide under.
