1: Pressing in as hard as she can, there is a spurt of fluid as Julia breaks through the skin of the predator.
2: Julia’s strained expression is fearful, lips raised from her teeth. The orange feelers have let go of her as she growls and pants.
3: Julia clutches Lily, free of the predator but covered in slime and badly cracked. A trail of thick blood-like fluid trails from her to the predator, which swiftly swims backward through the air, retreating into the underbrush.
4: Julia gets to her feet, panting, both hands around Lily, clutching it to her chest.
5: Julia squeezes Lily closer, limping away.
6: She turns and runs down the road.
That definitely took energy that she couldn’t afford to burn… but damn if you give up on one of the only friends you’ve got.
Don’t forget: Lily is also her best chance at using the portal to get home. Definitely a worthy, if costly, rescue.
Well, if she ever does get home, she SHOULD bring Lily with her, so the savants can dope out the language and learn first-hand about the strange abandoned planet the girl was dislocated to.
+1 to this.
Heck, with a proper team (with security) this world would be a gold mine for research, and maybe scientific discoveries (they appear to have been more advanced).
