Scar soon left the canyon, and began to wander the island. It felt like he was in a fog, he couldn't remember when he had left, how long he had been in the canyon, or where he was. He could be thinking and look down and find a compy in his claws, so confused he had become.
Soon Scar found himself along the edge of a lake, though he was unsure exactly where he was. He bent down to drink some, and found it tasted strange. Scar looked around, saw the town and plains near him, and realised that this was the tainted mutating water. Too late, he had already swallowed the first mouthfull. But it didn't matter much, it wouldn't be enough to change him.
In disgust, he left the lake and quickly re-entered the jungle. Scar wanted to leave this place behind, whatever was in it, it did things to your mind, making you insane while it changed your body, making you larger, stronger and faster. A few times, he had wondered if there was some balance between a mutated body and a sane mind. But he had no intention to test the idea, no intention to risk his mind.
Lost in thought, he found himself wandering into a part of the island that he was unfamiliar with. Scar noticed claw marks on the trees that seemed too large for a raptor's or a Dromaeosaur, but too small for a Deinonychus. His mind flashed back to the fight with Shadow, how the Velociraptor had claimed that mutants still survived. Had he been telling the truth? His thoughts were interrupted by a screech from somewhere near him. Cautiously, he creeped to the source of the sound...
It's you and me against the world. We attack at dawn.
This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but with a whimper. - T.S. Eliot
