Panther Park monsters in the shadows

set midday, 8/21

God, his head hurt so badly. Pain lanced behind his skull, dizzying pressure that made it hard to continue walking. But he'd got turned around, and he couldn't find his way home, and... everything was so bad. His ear was still messed up - noise was muffled on his left side, and his legs were aching from all the walking. But he figured, as long as he walked in one relative direction, he might be able to find someone that could help. 

He trembled, pelt sodden with the neverending rain that fell from the sky. He was so tired, so hungry, so in pain. He just wanted to go back, to Orochi, to the Yuelong wolves. Even that horrible forest would be preferable to this. 

The forest here wasn't good, either. He kept stumbling into trees, getting tangled in undergrowth. It was pathetic, and he didn't know how he was gonna get out. Didn't know how he was gonna get home. 

He sneezed, pausing for a moment to catch his breath. The boy needed to rest, he knew that, but he didn't know where he could go to get out of this rain.
