So I picked this basketball... and now what?

A big spider appeared!

I threw the ball at it, surprised.
The spider turned gray and disappeared.

Woah. That was unexpected.

The Strange Dog came out.

"Seems like someone starts to get it. You have to explore the world, so the skill might be useful. Also try to collect party members, so you get stronger."

"Can't you join my party?"

"No, I can't do that, I only observe and get you through the world. For now, farewell Saviour."

Strange Dog disappeared in the shadows.

"Darn it! I didn't even have time to ask him more! And now I'm alone. Guess I have to keep going."

I took one of the path. Soon, a sign appeared.

"<to the special place! (10 Sl)"

What's Sl?

"That meansss... Sssnake length..."

Oop. A giant rattlesnake appeared!

"No worriessss, I don't attack my friendsss friend. In fact I cssame to help."

I looked at the snake. It was pink with black spots, with somehow normal blue eyes. The rattling tail was spiked.

"So, do you want to join my party?"

"Yesss indeed. But be warned that I can get angry pretty eassily."

The snake joined your party!

"So... Snake length is what?"

"It'sss the length of average ssnake, it shows how far iss the place."

"Oh okay, just like..."

Like what? What I was about to say?

"Like what?"

"Nevermind..."

The snake was going behind me.

We got to "the special place."

There was a green lake, with a big dog statue standing on a small island. beside was a weird pulsating blanket. Above it was a sign:
"

"True home? I don't even have a false one, do I?"

The true feeling of home... I really want to feel it, even if I don't know anything about it.

"We have to explore right?"

"It's your choice."

We jumped into the blanket.

And we were falling.

Falling endlessly.

The feeling connected with something in the depths of my brain, but I couldn't locate it.

Soon it disappeared anyway.

The emptiness of falling.

The feeling of freedom.

And...

The feeling of something important becoming slowly something forgotten.

But we landed finally. And now I found myself sitting on a big feather bed??
