Chapter 6

Adira finds refuge in the treetops but must eventually descend to the forest floor. She gains confidence as she observes a rabbit, realizing that predators are likely distant. She forages for food, reflecting on her survival skills and her relationship with Torion. She ponders about the Ursa clan and considers her father's hidden past. Adira hides from Igrath and other Ursa members in a cave, narrowly avoiding discovery. As she waits, she's bitten by a snake, introducing a new danger to her already precarious situation.
