Zuri had raised her head to gain more power as she prepared to rip out the man's throat when he spoke, it sounded strained like he couldn't get enough air, then again that may not be so strange after all. His words actually cleared her head, her survival instinct was far stronger than her anger and Zuri realised the truth in his words. Glaring straight into the man's dark eyes Zuri snapped her jaws shut inches from his face with such force that her jaws ached before darting towards the door. Ramming it with her shoulder the door flew open and Zuri ran for as long as possible on the streets following the faint scent of the Wildlands, she managed to get almost to the large plaza at the docks when she had no other choice but to throw herself into the water.
She didn't know for how long she could swim but Zuri was determined to leave this city now or die trying, she heard nothing distinct that showed that a group of people was following her but she didn't dare waste time by turning to look. Setting her sight on the shore relatively far away from the large watchtower she swam in the same way she ran, medium speed that would allow her to save her strength for as long as possible. When she started to fear if she could go on swimming for much longer Zuri felt her paws scrape the stony sea floor, she relaxed slightly but didn't rest for long, as soon as she could Zuri started trotting south, running in a large half circle to avoid the entrance to Ravok. This was a city she had no intention to return to ever, though in her later years Zuri would eventually recognize the event as a harsh life lesson and became more careful in strange places but for now she intended to get far away from the city.
