Chapter 17 - If nature refused us:We need to reach there today

They had started the journey from the meadows near the river and have reached the worst area possible to fight with animals the clear path surrounded by a forest the birds could hunt them from above the animals can come from the forest kill the others the sun can cause a heatstroke and everything can go wrong with them.

They needed to carefully reach the center of the forest as at the center of the forest was the station which not always used to be it the center but the forest had grown all around it to stop any tries to reach the space station and use a rocket to leave this place which was like a living he'll wanting to kill them.

They were half way in when they spotted a group of falcons circling some where around where the path was leading them, they knew if they didn't change their strategy then they would be dead soon. They started using the trees as they were trained to walk slowly on trees to cross any place where it seemed useful.

everyone seemed too usual to this climb except for Vidit. He was struggling like a kid trying to climb stairs for the first time turns out he actually didn't do the training at all he only focused on intelligence and not even on basic survival skills. On which Veda replied with,'Now I know why the best soldiers were sent on to this mission.'

They somehow managed to bring him up the branch just in time as a wolf came in sight. Everyone was holding up their breath not daring to breath. If they were a split second late then the wolf may have seen Vidit and this would have caused everyone's death.

In fact the wolf had seen him but had acted as if not seeing as he was instructed by another shadowy figure similar to the one with the scar on chest but without the scar and a bit taller in height. The wolf roamed around and left keeping an eye on them. He was also instructed to not let them caught but also not let them be suspicious of no animal being visible to them at such an important place.

They moved swiftly trying to complete this final phase of the journey. They met a herd of cheetahs and wolves. They split up keeping Vidit there and making two groups, first of Megha and Nandini and the second of Veda and Vihaan. Who went opposite to each other when after reaching a certain distance from where Vidit could not see them. They mysteriously climbed down the tree, shook hands with the shadowy figures one by one as everyone was there and telling them about their their present situation and that no one has got suspicious.

When Veda with Vihaan upon witnessing this came closer and gave a slight hug to them informing them that she missed them. And she introduced the shadowy figures to Nandini, Megha and Vihaan, that they were none other that Yug, Riya, Kabir and Rudra, who helped them on the afternoon, in the city, in the forest last night and in the forest then, respectively.
