Hybrid stumbled through the decrepit city, breathing heavily and moving slowly. His limbs felt like they weighed the same amount as the giant slabs of concrete protruding from the ground. He came quite close to tripping over the various structural skeletons of houses, but managed to regain his footing on those few occasions. He paused, searching for something to sit on or lean against while he caught his breath. Finding a piece of asphalt that look appropriate, he sat down, leaning back against the hard surface. He frowned as he felt something wet trickle into his eye. He tried to wipe it away with the back of his hand, but only succeeded in smearing blood across his forehead. He sighed, trying to blink the combination of blood and sweat out of his eyes.
He remained like that for a few minutes, working on inhaling and exhaling. Once he felt that he was breathing properly, he stood up. He was slightly winded, and he had a few cuts and bruises from the meeting with the wolf, but it was of no serious degree. He had wrapped some cloth around his arm where the wolf had cut him rather deeply, but found that it was no so bad now. He started moving farther away from the city, slowing as he realized the river was widening, rather than breaking off into many small streams and flowing into the marsh. This was not the swamp where he had drowned the wolf. It looked like he was nearing Clouded Tears pack lands.
He frowned, but continued walking toward the river. He knelt down on a bank and wiped his hand over the frozen water, collecting some water that was not yet frozen on top of the ice. He wiped his face and began to wash off his hands. He shivered after a few seconds, deciding that it would probably be best to head home to Inferni before he caught a cold and died, or something equally stupid happened to him.
