CHAPTER 5

EBONGREENE FOREST

BOOM! The walls shook, and trumpets blared. Flurry flew out of bed. He was on his feet at such speed that you would have thought he had wings. It was a rude awakening from a peaceful night of sleep. BOOM! The tremendous sound of impacts echoed throughout the canyon. Flurry peeked out the window and saw red pandas scurrying in every direction.

The chaos intensified with the deafening noise of collapsing stone. Walls crumbled into the water below. The thundering explosions resonated throughout the entire city.

“What’s going on?” Flurry called out from the window.

“We’re under attack!” shouted a red panda that rushed past, sword drawn.

Flurry heard samurai in the distance shout, “Take cover! Another salvo is incoming!” BOOM! The floor rumbled and shook beneath the cub’s feet. In terror, Flurry watched one of the city walls collapse.

Flurry glanced around the room. Honja hid under a pillow, but no one else was present. “Come on, Honja! We have to get out of here!” Honja refused. Flurry ran over and dragged the bunny away from the pillow. “We’re leaving, even if I have to carry you!”

Flurry ran out through the open archway with Honja in his arms. Rocks fell all around him, and walls buckled. Many of the platforms and bridges were no longer intact.

Flurry tried to speak over all of the noise. “I have no idea how we’re going to get out of this mess, Honja.” The cub frantically looked around for an answer when he heard reeyu hatchlings screeching and crying. Flurry ran to the gate of the enclosure and loosed them. “Go! You’re free! Go!” The reeyu infants ran out as fast as they could. Flurry looked around to find many of the reeyu adults dead. Tears formed in Flurry’s eyes, but he took in a deep breath and wiped them away. It was not the time or place to grieve; that would have to wait for later. Flurry knew he had to be brave. He looked up and noticed that the reeyu traveled along the same path together. The cub followed the reeyu babies close behind. He thought they must know of a way out he was unaware of.

Before Flurry got far, he heard another reeyu screech from behind him. He turned around and found his own reeyu. She stood by, already saddled. Flurry was pleased to see her. “Come here, girl!” he motioned for her to join him. The reeyu ran to him. Flurry got on her back with Honja still in his arms. Together, they rode after the other reeyu. The canyon walls collapsed all around them. Boulders crashed in their path, which forced numerous course corrections.

Flurry had no idea what was happening, nor did he know where Tomodachi, Yujin, or Lotora were. He felt a tremendous amount of fear and uncertainty in the midst of such chaos. Red panda warriors continued to frantically run in every direction.

The baby reeyu found a cliff-side path that went along the canyon wall. Flurry followed it, and hoped that it led to the surface above.
