A large slime, maybe around 5 ft square, sleeps in a birchwood forest. Without him noticing a lone cow calf comes along and climbs atop the slime, falling asleep to the soft rise and fall of the slime's breathing. Suddenly the slime wakes up and notices the cow on his head. He bounces his body, bouncing the cow off his head and to the ground. The calf shakes off from the fall and looks up at the slime, but the slime has already gone back to sleep. The calf circles the slime, and notices a potato stuck inside his right side. She lifts a hoof and pats at the slime's side, prodding for the potato. The slime wakes up to the poking and looks down at the calf. He condenses himself and then suddenly expands again, bouncing the calf a few feet away. He promptly goes back to sleep. After a few minutes he feels a bouncing pressure on his head he looks up and sees the calf jumping up and down on his springy surface. He sighs and tilts his head, causing the calf to slide off. He, once again, goes back to sleep, hoping the calf will finally leave him alone. After being slid off the slime's head, the calf notices and arrow imbedded in the slime's left side. She grabs it with her teeth and pulls it out. The slime jumps at the sting in his side and turns towards the cow. He towers above her, finally angry. Then he notices the arrow in her mouth. He looks over at his side, realizing the arrow that was once there is now gone. He sits back and ponders. Finally he starts bouncing away, the calf following. They spend about an hour moving through the forest, passing by tree after tree and even another ragtag group of travelers who give them strange looks. Finally they come across an open field full of grazing animals. The slime motions towards the animals and the calf races off to join her new friends. The slime spares a hesitant glance at the calf before turning and bouncing away. Later that evening the forest is orange with the glow of the setting sun. The slime is sleeping against a tree when suddenly arrows come flying through the woods, sinking into the sides of trees, and the ground. A stampede of animals races passed, waking the slime. He watches as more arrows fly at the herd. He looks over to see a group of hunters running this way. He shrinks as small as he can as they rush passed him. Suddenly he notices the calf from earlier running away with the other animals. His eyes narrow and he starts towards her, but is blocked by one of the hunters with an iron sword. The calf is running with the other animals, trying to escape the scary people, when she's cut off by a volley of arrows. She turns to run in the other direction, as an arrow flies on a direct collision course with her. Suddenly the slime from earlier that day lands between her and the arrow, taking it in his side. He's riddled with arrows, and has a sword stuck in his head. He takes another arrow, and nudges her along. She bolts off, escaping to safety. The slime turns towards the hunters. Suddenly the one from before jumps on top of him, trying to pull out his sword. The slime shakes and swings, throwing the hunter off. But then he's hit with another couple arrows. The hunters close in, and then rush forward together, attacking the slime at once.

The night is dark and cold. Snow covers the ground. The calf is asleep in a cave. She snores peacefully, sleeping to the soft rise and fall of the slime's body. He sleeps as well, surrounded by arrows removed earlier that night, as well as the swords from the defeated hunters. They rest together, now happy to share the same space.
