Truth be told, Dan, too, had not expected his day to turn out as it had.
The start left him admittedly a bit disorientedĀ - causing in turn the unfortunate fate of the strangerās bag, knocked down into a sizable gully - though, luckily, heād soon managed to adjust to the change in scenery.
Perhaps it was understandable. Time was a fleeting, mysterious friend to the unchanging darkness of his previous abode, leaving little sense of the world outside and the centuries since heād last touched upon it. It was all...different.
Naturally, he was intrigued.
The voice of his newfound companion brought the spiritās attention downward, gaze resting upon the face of the shorter being beside him. She was a summoner, that much was obvious; even had she not summoned him herself. Different as she was to his previous callers, such a presence remained familiar to him.
At present, it was about the only thing he could claim to be so recognizable.
āI donāt possess such an ability,ā the spirit explained, unperturbed. While former summoners had made use of such spells, he had never been the source of that power. His expertise sat solely - as sheād observed - in the realm of the physical. Making use of a map was about all he could do in terms of finding a town.
That being said, when it came to the matter of her second query...
The man glanced over the edge of the ravine.
āBut I can get your bag, yes.ā
Without further comment, the long-browed being proceeded to calmly step off the cliffās edge, down into the chasm.
