Vinheart knew it was a dangerous choice to have them all cross over the old stone bridge, as she had already made it over and could hardly see the others through the snow. Finally she made out Kei and Charcoal making it over the bridge fairly easily, though she noticed Katja having a bit of a difficult time getting Lusin to cross over also. Eventually watching Katja guide Lusin across the path at a fair pace, yet she noticed quickly when the rocks behind them started giving way as Katja almost slipped off the edge.
Charcoal barked in worry, Nightlock getting between the tundra female and the bridge so she didn't put herself and Keiya in more danger. The four watched Katja finally get on the saddle and keep going, but as the rocks got closer behind to collapsing right under them, Nightlock backed up as Lusin came running and leaped last second.
Vinheart jumped down to see if Lusin and Katja were okay, Nightlock getting between the other male and the edge as his Tribe mate and the handler were a bit too close to the edge for his liking and he didn't want anyone falling down after already making it to the other side. The black male watched as the rest of the bridge collapsed and fell downwards towards the ground who knows how far below.
"Are you two okay?" Vinh asked as she kneeled down to help Katja.

Lusin stayed on the ground for a while, looking exhausted, but very happy that he made it with his master. He looked at the other male that made sure that no one was falling off. He thanked him with a head nod. He looked worried as Katja did not seem to get back up. He saw Vinheart getting close. Katja was moving finally and sat down, making sounds that clearly showed that she has hurt. « Yeah, I’m all right, but I think I broke my arm… I got Lusin’s weight on me when we landed… Hugh! Yep, that’s it. » She looked at her arm, it was bleeding a bit, but it seemed easy to patch up. « It should not be too hard to fix, it just hurts a lot, haha! » She still tried to laugh at the situation. « Seems like there is no turning back now as well! » She said, teasing a bit as she saw the last part of the bridge crumble down. Lusin looked at Katja, worried sick. He went beside her and started to lick her face and cuddle her, not too sure what else to do. « Is the base still far? i am sure I can make it there anyway, it is just to know, especially for Lusin. »

Vinheart looked at Katja worriedly before she winced slightly at the sight of the blood and hearing Katja's arm was broken. Standing up she glared into the storm, despite the snow going straight into her eyes she spotted a flicker of light probably no more than 20 yards away. Turning abck to her tribe mate she offered a hand to help her up.
"Not even 20 yards away from it now, probably no longer than 5 minutes away just at a walk. So if we hurry I'm sure we can get there within the next few minutes," Vinheart answered.
Nightlock caught Lusin's thankful nod, bowing his own head slightly in a polite reply as he walked over to Vinheart, ears perked as he looked towards where she head been looking and also catching sight of the light. He then looked back towards Charcoal and Kei who were farther back, in slight shock at what the outcome had been of Lusin's landing. It certainly was better than falling from an unknown height to an almost certain death, yet still the idea of it was painful for anyone to just think about. So seeing it was worse, yet the tundra female walked forward with Nightlock between herself and the others.
"Let's get moving quickly, I'm not sure if you checked in with the research base and notified them you'd be coming, but I have and technically not being there by now has them ready for someone to come in with injury," she explained quickly. "You can ride with one available arm, right?"

Katja looked up at Vinheart.
« Let’s go then, I sure can ride with a broken arm! haha, it never stopped me before! » She winked and slowly got back on the worried male. They all walked up to the location they had to when suddenly, a white silouhette could be seen form afar. « Guys, look, down there… Is that a dire??? » Katja was confused, maybe she hit her head too hard and she was hallucinating… But it looked so real, just like her pain due to her arm, she thought to herself, laughing. « Vinh, is that a dire down there? I think I can actually see three of them, I think I am going crazy, haha! » Lusin was not so fund of hearing that and felt way more anxious than he already was, all the other tokotas could feel it, it smelled fear all around him. Katja was way too busy to notice that her Tokota was not all there either. Lusin looked down and he was shocked by what he saw. It confirmed what Katja saw… the dires were just at the bottom of the large cliff. They were imposing and just as he looked, the merle male looked up, looking straight at Vinheart, just like if he was waiting for something to happen…
