Unexpectedly, she began to tumble and fall. Ahead, there seemed to be a large rock.

Nyx caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye, but her mind went blank, too late to process the information or avoid it. Instinctively, she curled into a ball.

She thought, 'This is bad!'

In a flash, Zayne held her tightly and adjusted their position midair, protecting the little rabbit in his arms and taking the impact himself. They tumbled together, rolling who knows how many times, until they finally came to a stop at the bottom.

Nyx struggled to get up, shaking her dizzy head and hurriedly asking, “Zayne, are you okay?”

"I'm fine," Snow Wolf said, his tough hide far more resilient than the little rabbit's. Though he was injured, it was nothing

serious.

He pawed at Nyx to confirm she was unharmed, then sighed in relief. Looking around, they realized they had ended up in a natural cave.

The cave entrance had been sealed by the collapsed snow, and the inside was pitch black. Without the night vision abilities of their beast form, they wouldn't be able to see anything.

Nyx took a deep breath, switched to her human form, and cautiously approached the entrance, pushing at the snow. It wouldn't budge, and she couldn't estimate how thick it was. They were stuck here.

She took another deep breath, pulling her cold, numb hands back, feeling helpless. The rumbling outside still echoed, and the avalanche clearly hadn't stopped.

Though they were trapped for now, this cave was a rare refuge from the avalanche, a small blessing amid the misfortune.

Zayne also switched to his human form and began picking up the scattered items from the ground, putting them back in the bamboo basket, and checking their supplies.

Their fur clothes were still intact, but some of their medicine was lost, and most of the food was gone. During their chaotic escape, much of it had fallen out of the basket.

Holding the remaining half of their supplies, Zayne frowned. This amount of food won't last more than a few days.

"Don't worry, once the avalanche stops, we'll figure out how to get out." Nyx remained relatively calm. There was always a way out; they were here to face the trial, and fate wouldn't let them die so easily.

They packed their things, and since the wind and snow outside hadn't stopped, they transformed back into beast form and cuddled together.
