Raphael managed to grab Ivanka's wrist in the last seconds before they both fell into the abyss. The girl's wrist turned blue as Raphael gripped it as tightly as he could. Sweat from the stifling forest air made her skin slippery so Raphael almost let it go.
However Raphael failed to save her from injury. He could see that the woman's legs were bent unnecessarily. She had a serious fracture and wouldn't heal in a few hours. Ivanka winced in pain but she didn't cry. Though she was very crybaby earlier because she was thinking about his poor little brother.
"You have to straighten it out," Raphael said after examining her legs.
Ivanka tried to get up and support her slender body with a stick that she found. Then she stubbornly tried to walk.
"I can carry on, we're going to climb to the top," said Ivanka firmly.
Raphael shook his head.
