Zach and Nora were tired to the point where they much preferred sitting on the damp and torn-to-shreds ground. Alzara also showed clear signs of exhaustion. She had needed to use a lot of her cursed energy to fell the trees, even if she only used her Curse of Weakness.
One hundred big trees with bark harder than common steel was a lot to deal with for the trio.

Even if they were tired, they had to continue moving until they could find the others, who were hopefully moving as quickly through the floors as them, or until they could find an opportunity to rest.
Zach glanced at Nora. She was still slightly out of breath. But she had recovered enough. He got up.
