She has lost the relic. It was so close and yet, she was unable to capture it. Thankfully, Erasmus has captured it and it will be taken back to Denocte. Unfortunately, Katniss does not know Erasmus well, she does not know if he will use the relic for good or for evil. It was supposed to be hers. It was supposed to be set aside and used only for good, not for the greedy nature of man. But she had failed.
That feeling of failure is rooted deep into her bones and Katniss cannot shake the feeling that she has let her court down. She has not done enough. She fears that she has displeased Isra, even know she knows that she has not.
All of these feelings are interrupted when the trees begin to crack. It captures her attention and tosses her thoughts aside. Eyes look onward as she tries to see just what was making the trees crack and bend, falling over and landing on anything that is beneath them.
There is a heavy sound of footsteps as animals begin to flee, coming towards her in a mighty stampede. As they get closer, the ground begins to shake. It is only a soft vibration at first, growing into a mighty earthquake. As soon as the animals break through the tree line, Katniss knows this is her time to leave.
Feet begin to pound the sand, pushing her forward and towards the bridge. There are others fleeing, others trying to escape the waters as they begin to swallow beaches. A rift parts the ground in front of her and as she comes towards the edge, she takes a mighty leap, throwing her body over the fissure. She lands quite ungracefully, the shaking ground making her landing anything but graceful.
And then she’s on the bridge and it too is moving. The whole island is angry and upset, the tremors are violent and the cries of the animals even louder. And as Katniss flees for her life, all she can think of now is Kibou and how she must get back to him alive.
