Dark Forest: Take 2
Soren flew over the forest. He realized with dread he was getting tired. I can't land in the forest. He thought. I'll be eaten by giant spider or attacked by hooded figures or who knows what else. He was tired, but forced himself to keep flying.
He must have gotten lower though, because soon something shot his wing and he plummeted to the ground. He heard the sound of hooves coming towards him. He raked his brain for something with hooves. Horses. But, I didn't think they ate meat. Now was not the time to wonder about that though. He quickly slipped under some roots and out of sight. Soon the horses came into sight. They weren't horses at all though. Soren's jaw dropped. They had horse bottoms, but their tops looked like Others. Weird. He thought. But he was getting kind of used to weird. He slowly backed away, luckily the ground was soft enough he made no noise.
Once he was out of sight of the horse Others he let out a sigh of relief. That didn't last though. Now he was in the forest with no way out. He wasn't going to be able to fly with his wing shot through.
VROOM!
Soren let out a screech and looked behind him. There was an Other thing there. Big, blue, with two glowing lights. A door on its side swung open and it vroomed again. Soren gulped but walked over and hopped in. The door shut and the Other thing started flying away. Soren looked out in amazment as it flew him over the forest. In fact, it carried Soren close enough to the portal that he could walk the rest of the way. Then it swung its doors open. Soren hopped out. The thing flew away. "Thanks." Soren said to the air.
He walked the rest of the way to the portal.
