Fox and the Hound

Theo ducked behind some rocks just in time, the group he followed passing by him without taking notice.
"Move faster dwarf! I do not want to lose them."
The leader, a woman warrior, shoved the female dwarf forward, making her stumble before catching her balance.
A second dwarf, who had been captured as he exited the cavern, made to help his fellow, but was stopped by yet another threat.
The group passed, allowing Theo to breath at last. Moving from his spot, he suddenly drew his weapon as he saw shadows darting through the darkness. They passed as well, but the paranoia brought by them did not, Theo cautiously catching up to his lead.
