Luckily, Onyx did not fall all the way and got stuck on a ledge halfway on the cliffside. Helpless and stuck Onyx tried to get out but the situation was too dangerous. His family was looking at Onyx from above and were out of ideas on what to do. They kept on consoling him and tried to keep him from panicking.
