     My name is Nicovlad McAngelico, but I go by Nico. T'was arvo in the jungle of New Caledonia. I was hunting for some food. Just then, I see a monster looking thing. I point my bow straight at it, hoping I get a good shot. (Usually I don't need to hope. I always have a precise aim. "No! Don't shoot!" a voice yells.

I don't shoot. "Why?" I ask.

"Because you need to come with me!" the voice said.

It so happened that the monster was half a human, half a goat. "Crikey!" I stared in shock. "Why do I have to?"

"Please come, you have to. Your life depends on it."

"You realize that you are half a goat, right?"

"Yes, I'm a satyr."

"Sat-yar?!"

"Satyr. S-a-t-y-r. I'm Grover."

It still sounded like sat-yar to me. I'm no pirate, though, so I introduced myself. "Nico."

"Hey, I know another guy named Nico."

"Ok, so where are we going?"

"We're going to Manhattan, New York"

Another city again. I've been to many cities, and the drongos there are not nice to jungle boys. I don't get why my brothers love the city enough to live in one across the world. "A city ?"

"I see that you do not like cities."

"I live in the jungle, of course I don't like cities! But, I know where Manhattan is. I guess we can go by boat."

"What about an airplane?"

"No."

"Okay."
