Preview: Koro is walking on the rocks.

Chapter 4. 14 (I messed up the years in the last chapter, so he's still fourteen.)
Koro made it safely over the rocks and to a higher, more stable, spot. He thought he was going to find the cave, but the jumble of mountains blended into a wild jumble of rocks, and he lost it. He saw that the mountains didn't curve too badly into each other. Maybe if he moved forward a little he could see where they went. However, there was another stretch of jagged, unstable, rocks in front of him. He had made it through the first series, so he went towards the second one. As he started walking he began thinking that the whole mountain range was made of this loose, jagged rock. Since he wasn't paying attention, he stepped on a area where the rocks were sloped, and lost his balance, but managed to stay on top of the mountain. He noticed it had shifted some of the nearby rock. He got both feet back on top of the mountain, and took another step. Since the rock had shifted, it became more unstable, and when Koro stepped on it, it gave way and he began sliding down the mountain.
