X frantically scrambled up the side of the rock face, claws finding footholds for a matter of seconds before quickly moving onto the next one. X's pace was rapidly sped up compared to the previous leisurely pace. The reason for this being that with an injured leg and tail, the Paragon was finding it increasingly difficult to balance as he scaled the cliff.
One foot wrong and he'd fall, plunging quite some feet.
It was no wonder the Turkezilla's had built a nest up on the cliff face. It was so high up that predators would not be able to reach them, and prey would not be able to escape by jumping down. Luckily, the ground had a slight incline so the Paragon would be able to scrabble down headfirst on the way down. It was just climbing up that was the issue.
