Let’s Escape

The Pakou landed on the house Re'Kha had taken refuge within for the past couple of days. Even without her instructions, it knew what to do, keeping its eyes closed while preventing itself from taking any breaths until it stood upon the roof.

The ceiling had mostly fallen, with the remainder sporting cracks. If it had landed on it, its weight would have caused it to collapse. So, all the Pakou did was balance itself on the top of the walls, using its wings and tail to keep itself steady.

The rain was thinning out now, looking like it would stop soon. So, Re'Kha had to hurry with her task. The streams flowing through the houses were still detailed enough for her to grasp the outline of them all, so she wasn't troubled in sensing her way through.
