As Prajna's motionless body was dragged to the deepest parts of the watery grave, the creature that laid at the very bottom opened it's mouth wide, the numerous teeth welcoming the food into it's mouth. When the Frei's dimming rune hit one of the tips of the teeth however, something strange happened.
A cold, black flame suddenly erupted from the Frei's core in a miniature explosion, severing all of the tentacles that bound him. The underwater creature, shocked from this sudden turn of events, retracted all of it's teeth and folded all of it's petals over itself as protection. The shock wave that was resulted from the explosion propelled Prajna's small body to the surface of the water.
Unfortunately, this small miracle had no other witnesses aside from the foul creature at the bottom of the pond. On the surface, Luka would only know that the Frei's body had reappeared when the pond rippled from an unknown disturbance, as the mini explosion was too dark to see underwater.

Somewhere in its unconsciousness, Prajna felt itself seemingly rocked by the water as if lulled into an even deeper sleep. Was the Star dead? Is this what death felt like? Prajna just felt so tired...
As its body broke the surface, Luka would see that Prajna's face had blued dramatically, its lips stained a light lavender. Prajna's eyes were closed and its body floated half heartedly, the clothing continuing to weigh the Star back down again.

"Oh. Here, let me help then. It's not too har--" When David peered over Lulu's shoulder, he felt like a child yet again. It had been a while since he had looked at a map. His pride faltering, the man pointed to a small area and guessed, "I think we're around here? We didn't get too far. Prajna and Luka though... if they didn't run into any trouble, might hav-- oh."
David paused when he noticed a small lake located on the map, not too far from them. If something did happen to them, maybe they went to gather water for cleaning wounds or to break fevers or something.
"I think we should head over here, to this lake. They may have gone to camp there, since being by a body of water is always a good resort. They may have even found a clue over there, since Dr. Kyou must have stopped at some point for water, right?" David suggested.

The surface of the water bubbled violently before bringing up Prajna's near dead body. "PRAJNA!" Swimming as quickly as possible to the frei, he grabbed the Inverted flame from under the arms before edging back towards land. He lifted Prajna's body up before getting out of the water.
The Satyr immediately pressed his hear to the Star's lips trying to hear if he was still breathing.
He couldn't tell. 'Running' to his stuff, he immediately grabbed for the flare gun and shot one into the air. A trail of light shooting up to illuminate the night time sky. Prajna could not carry on in the search any longer, and Luka would not allow him to even if the Star wanted.
"Hang on Prajna, you're safe now." Luka hunched back down to try and catch Prajna's breathing. The other Frei's lips were blue and it scared him. If Prajna could not breathe, there was little Luka could do. He wasn't familiar with CPR or mouth to mouth.

Lu titled her head at the map. She was curious how David had deduced all this from a mere squiggle. Still, he was her senior and probably understood the contraption better than she ever would. With a nod of approval, LuLu relinquished the map and pointed her flashlight into the forest in front of them. It seemed like their next task would be to get to the lake and find the rest of their team.
"Which way is it?" The rabbit began a hesitant float towards the blackened shrubbery.

As those words left LuLu's lips, the fire from the flare cutting through the night sky like a slow-mo inverted lightning flash caught her attention. That was a clear sign that someone was seeking help, perhaps desperately even, and it wasn't too far from them, maybe about half a mile in the northwest direction. It was definitely a lot closer to them than to the village. So even if the rescuers rush in, it will probably take longer for them to get there, compared to LuLu and David.
If they hurry, maybe they could make it there in time.
Meanwhile, Prajna laid motionless on the bank of the pond, part of it's ribbon still floating in the water. The ribbon wasn't curled around the rune anymore like how it used to, but is instead dragged across the ground, drenched through and wet.
However, it's rune was still pulsing, albeit a little weakly. If Luka would listen more closely with his ear pressed against Prajna's chest, he would still hear a faint, slowed heartbeat. Suddenly, there was a gurgling sound coming from Prajna's chest. Could it be that it's lungs are trying to expulse the water in it? Maybe if Luka could apply some compression to the other's chest, he could help in the expulsion. It was wise for him to fire the flare when needed, but could the rescue come fast enough to actually save Prajna's life? The satyr cannot just do nothing while his friend laid on the ground before him, probably going to die in the next minute.

Whatever that may happen in the next few moments, whether Prajna will be saved or not, it seemed like the Frei at least would be unable to continue on the journey that they are on. It's only a matter of time before rescue arrive at the Freis' location.
Should Luka continue on as well, or when the rescue arrive, would he prefer to be rescued along as well.
What about LuLu and David?
(( Prajna had been officially removed from the team ))

The stared at the cold, almost lifeless body of his partner. Should he stay and wait for the rescue team or was it better for him to move on?
Chewing at the inside of his lips, the Frei heaved a sigh. He had already fired the flair and rescue would be arriving soon. He had to move on. He had the clue of the torn cloth and it was now time for him to move on before the trail got any colder. Pulling Prajna's body even further away from the edge of the pond, he quickly reached for his back and shuffled through the Inverted Flame's bag as well. Taking things that he thought would be useful, the Satyr took one last look at Prajna before going back into the dense woods.
He was wet, sleep deprived, and tired. But, he had someone to find and time was running short.

LuLu's eyes widened at the sight of a flare shooting into the sky. As it climbed further and further into the clouds, Lu felt some sense of relief. Had Kyou been found?
However, a crimson glow smothered the sky like a blood splatter. It made her stomach promptly bottom out. David and her were not the only ones running into trouble then. The sigel felt her nerves reappear. Their quiet moment had come to an end.
Who had fire that flare? What if it was Luka and Praj? What if it was Zul or Meli!? Lu's wings gave one powerful flap before she turned to catch David's gaze. Her own eyes were narrowed into defensive slits. It had already been decided, they were going to help.
She took off in the direction of the SOS signal with David in tow.

At her top most speed, LuLu arrived at the pond in just a few minutes, with David in tow some ways behind. She would see Prajna alone, unconscious on the ground, totally drenched. Thankfully, she would find that Prajna was breathing through it's lips, albeit just barely. The official rescue from the forest rangers had not arrived yet, should they do something for Prajna first? To ease the young Frei's suffering, or at least help him breathe easier.
Not very far, they would see a small white light glinting in the darkness, seeming to move further and further away from them. It's not too far, still within ear shot if they shout. Perhaps it was Luka moving off? Or maybe not?
