Subject: ~!@#$%^&*()_+

Deyt's limbs tremble. The feeble, stringy muscles of her past seem to return to her from years back, overcoming her built-up and solely-aqcuired strength. She groans, staggering to the left and into the trunk of a tree that was left alive in the violent battle. Her heart pounds sluggishly, breath drawn in ragged, coarse gasps. One cybernetic arm is lifted as the Korat begins to drag herself away from the scene of death, step by step by step. Bones and tendons creak and squeal in her lumbering gait, head hung low and tail literally dragging across the ground. Talons catch on roots and many times she comes close to falling.. and she knows, oh /how/ she knows.. that if she falls, she will not rise again. She aches all over - neck especially. Warm, dark liquid trickles down through the mangy strands of fur, coarse and unhealthy, making them sticky and matted.

And the shadows grow long was Ghrayu sinks lower in the sky, staining this forest of blood with a dust of orange.
