The way to the Lost Woods was incredibly hard due to the hoard of monsters. He was feeling weakened, but he followed Manu as long as he could. Incredibly, there were no monsters at all in that area. Maybe monsters couldn't approach to that zone, or they got lost too. "I... I don't know." He sat a moment in order to cure his injury: he couldn't do too much, just disinfect it and put a bandage on it. He could move it now again. He tried to fly, but a moment later, he regretted it. He could manoeuvre with his injured wing, but he was forcing it too much, and it hurt. Then he ate an apple. "I've tried to fly in order to see where should we go, but I can't".
Then, Xander appeared. "Xander?! How are you? Where is Syth?" But, at that moment, his mind came across with an idea. "Wait! The fog... It makes you vanish, right? There must be a way through them..." Raq took some lianas from the ground, he tied them up, he tangled one around his waist and give the others lianas to Xander and Syth. "Ok... We'll do this. I'll go first, and you follow, leaving a prudent distance between us. If the fog doesn't engulf me, we are going in the right way; and if you see that the fog starts to engulf me, then you pull the rope and you take me, right?" Raq said, starting to lead the group again, going right, getting into those dark and creepy woods.
