Shadow Mountain The endless search

She swallowed a gasp as he lost his footing.  Apparently his travels were a bit more treacherous than she'd originally thought.  Banner lifted one paw to move forward but it froze in mid air.  What was she going to do, carry him down?  Sure, she was sturdy as hell, but this male easily had several pounds a couple inches oh her.  Small stature wasn't her friend in this situation.
