Chapter 32: How you expect me to survive?
Yoda cleared his throat upon seeing Senja nearly had mentally breakdown.
"Yes, I know… I am not good too, but we have to move. Or else we would die"
He tried to coax her but her face turned sullen.
"I can't move my leg…" She was whining almost crying.
Never in her whole life, Senja had to endured so much. Every time she got a hard time all her brother would be there to shield her, make sure she wasn't hurt. They pampered her so much. They would clean after her mess.
A soft sobbing escaped her lips and it made Yoda panic.
"I can't carry you, I hurt my shoulder too… lets go okey… nothing good would happen if we stay… okey?" Yoda was desperate when he saw Senja's tears drops.
"Don't cry… don't cry… you want me to piggyback you?" He tried to offering a solution, even though, he was sure he couldn't afford it with his current body.
Senja shook her head weakly and said softly between her sob. "I am hungry…"
"…" Yoda didn't talk anymore. He stared to unbelievable creature in front of him.
She still thought about food in this current situation? He even couldn't be bother with his pain on his shoulder.
"I will feed you with any food you want if we survive from this" He said indifferently.
"… "
I am seriously hungry…no, I am starving…I am starving until I feel so dizzy…

Right after they were out of the armory place, they were witnessing their surroundings that have been turned into flame. The figure of Azura's soldiers rushed in retreat while burned everything they passed by.
The initially calm night had been turned upside down by the ferocious soldiers from both parties. The clashing swords were spreading on the air and hundreds of arrow covered the ray of the moonlight in the sky.
"Our side has retreated while burning everything." Yoda explained the situation to Senja who stunned beside him. "It seems we can't hold back the fortress much longer."
Yoda grabbed Senja's hand and dragged her along the way to the retreated soldiers.
Cheese cake… vanilla ice cream… egg rolls… chicken wings…schnitzel… roasted chicken… soup chicken… chicken soup… chicken… chicken…
In order to distract her focus from the chaotic feeling from the outside that pervasively enveloping her tightly, she kept chanting all the foods she like.
Muddleheaded, she let Yoda dragged her away.
Suddenly a stray arrow pierced through the air, darting near her neck, gave a scratch on it.
Senja fell back on her butt. Shocked silly, she turned her head to the sky above.
"Cover yourself!!!" Someone from far gave a warned.
Arrows covered the night and cascading liked heavy rain the moment Yoda forcefully dragged Senja's limp body to take sheltered at the nearest wooden building. The scary sound of arrows that had poured to the ground was simply deafening.
Old lady, can't you sent me to more peaceful place? How you expect me to survive from this?
After the continued of the sound of arrows, their soldier had been pushed back hard by the Zodasian's army without the way out. If it keeps like this they would have been slaughter like a fish on chopping board in the next moment.
Not far from their sheltered a sound of neighing horses can be heard.
"Come on." Yoda grabbed her hands again and ran vigilantly towards the horses stables. They were run while crossing dead bodies and stuck arrows on the ground.
