Redhawk Caldera I'll just mix 'em in my drink

takes place directly after her little scuffle

In a blind panic, Maia ran.

He was going to kill her.  The adrenaline that this conviction lent her was the only thing that kept her running despite the heavy wounds that bled freely.  These were no spar marks... he'd meant to take pieces to keep and he'd succeeded.

Her breath burned in her lungs as she charged up the slope of the caldera.  Despite the burning in her legs she couldn't stop because she knew the instant she did he would be upon her again and it would be over.  She couldn't survive another clash with that monster.  She sobbed and stumbled, but didn't break her sprint.

There was no thought in her mind but one: escape.

Then, abruptly, Maia's feet hit nothing but air.  What she'd thought was a hill was not, and in the darkness, she'd failed to see the lip that gave the caldera its name.  With a heart-stopping lurch Maia fell, then landed heavily and rolled to a motionless stop in the darkness beneath the cliffs.
