Coriander was finding it hard to breathe. He had been running for too long. But he had finally reached the tree.
Wait. How would he bring the sap back?
Coriander started to cry in defeat. It would be his fault that those wolves would die.
"Um," someone said from behind a tree, "I think I can help."
Coriander tensed as he took in the... wolf?
"Coywolf," she said, and laughed as he flinched. "I'm not magic or anything. Just, everyone wonders. I should just say it outright."
Coriander wasn't sure what to say. "I'm Coriander."
"Ember," she replied.
"Did you say you could-"
"Oh, yeah. Here." She torn some big leaves off a nearby tree with her teeth. "Put the sap on here, and you can fold it and hold it in your mouth."
They got the sap out together and put it on the leaves.
"Thank you, Ember," Coriander said, "I-"
He looked around. She had left.
"Huh." He smiled. Someone who was a little like him. Maybe he wasn't as alone as he thought.
Coriander started running back to the beach.
