I was getting used to sitting around in weird places. Could really only make myself hover so far and if I’m being honest, I wasn’t that good at it. Out of all the places I’d ended up, I guess fields were pretty all right. Occasionally people would pass by. Some of them were even nice enough to give me a lift. I could tell a lot of people weren’t from this world, wherever it was. Some of the people who were seemed a little put off by me, not that I could blame them. I just talked to the people who looked like they weren’t. That tended to get better results. The day I met the dreary eyed looking kid I’d been stuck in a field. I was pretty much at my limit so far as floating was concerned. Luckily I’d fallen onto my side, otherwise I might not have seen him. He had been surrounded by a bunch of doglike things. Not really like a dog, more of a wolf actually. One of them knocked him down and the others started snapping at his legs. Damn vultures. ─[ Hey! Leave him alone! ]╢ ─[ I said back off! ]╢ That distracted one of them. I don’t think the kid heard me though. He must have been too far away. I thought maybe if I could just get over there he’d have a chance… Giving it everything I had, I flung myself across the ground.  {╞══════════════════[ FORCE ( ) ]══════════════════╣} By some act of God, I managed to land right by his leg. Good. ─[ Hey. Don’t freak out. I think I’ve got a way to get us out of this. ]╢  ─[ Don’t even bother trying to hit them.]╢ ─[ Just grab on and run! ]╢ {╞══════════════[ TURN INITIATED ( ) ]══════════════╣} Just like usual, the world froze and gave us a second chance. Kid looked like he needed it.
