Title sounds like your accepting being kidnapped and your walking with your kidnapper.

Ok maybe going with him wasn't a good idea but I had the Pace Tree with me.

Quri.

Quri, listen.

Quri stop moving.

Reply Quri, a new wave is coming.

'Ok, hold on can we sit?'  I said, now having to talk to the tree.

'Ok..?'  They said suspiciously

Pace Tree, how large and how fast?

Imagine 3 of you stacked upon each other. That large, very fast.

Will it be bad damage?

Only for the trees. Still not tall enough to reach me. It'd have to be 127 of you on top of each other to reach not even half way.

Guess I'm a good climber if I got all the way to the top that quick.

Quri that doesn't matter, get into a cave somewhere with the stranger.

Why with the stranger?

They might be more important than you'd think.

Hm, ok.

Tell them.

As you wish, Pace Tree.

'Kid.'  

'Kid, come on, what are you doing?'

'Bro shut the hell up. '   I said.

'Kid, were  you sleeping?'   Stranger said.

'Sigh, no. Follow me.'   I said, getting up and sprinting (apparently faster than an elf, stranger told me after.) to a mountain.

'Kid, wait up!'  

Once done climbing mountain and a little more just to be safe.

'Kid why did you climb all the way up here?'  Stranger said, panting and laying down in the dirt.

'Wave.'  I said.

'Wave? What is th-'   They said before the wave of water hit again, larger this time. 

We were safe, so it's good.

'Aight we need to go to my cabin, Eragons probably looking for me and  Alexander is sad.'

Silent consent, Stranger and Quri go together back to her cabin.

62 minutes of walking later, just outside the cabin.

'QURI!'   I heard Eragon yell in my general direction.

'HEY ROACH, HOW ARE YOUUUU?!'  I yell back.

'I'm gonna go.'   Stranger says.

'Aight, bet.'   I said sassily.

'QURI, IN THE CABIN.'   Eragon yelled.

And then I was to be walking into the cabin again.
