The Lili kept on running for a couple of minutes, even though she saw and heard nothing that indicated she was being pursued. After a short while, she slowed down to a trot, greatly relieved that the enormous carnivore hadn't bothered to follow her, and making a mental note to watch out for that part of the park in the future, assuming the Spino had made it his territory. Just then, the trees opened up around her, the Lili finding herself in a small, narrow clearing, the ground covered by a rocky concrete path that cut through the park, one end of it curving off to connect with a larger street. Pausing for a moment, she glanced down the path in both directions, making sure nothing else would surprise her before turning and trotting toward the spot where the paths met, able to see hulking gray caves beyond. By now, direct sunlight was nearly gone from the sky, the very last of the sun's red-orange rays casting a long, slender shadow several yards out in front of her, and deepening every shadow in every crevasse. She'd have to work quickly to find a good cave before everything was plunged into darkness...
