I had traveled about a mile away, and I was now at a marsh. I turned to human form. The ground was gross and slimy on my bare feet.
I stepped on something that was covered in prickles and was coming out of the ground. It formed into...
A TENTACLE! It grabbed me, so I turned into hound form, biting it as hard as I could. It coiled around me tighter, so I turned into human form once more, stabbing it with a poison arrow. The slimy beast finally let go of its tight, suffocating grip. I gasped for air, as I fled as fast as I could away from the marsh.
About ten minutes later, I felt soft grass on my feet. I was out of the marsh! I was thrilled, so I went into hound form, rolling in the grass.
I bumped into a ball of fur as I was rolling. It was fluffier than clouds! Then, it licked me with a slobbery tongue. It was a strange foot-stool looking creature but it had fur on it and horns. It had a strange bone with an eye on it. It was beside the foot-stool creature. I turned into human form. I wonder what would happen if I pick it up? Could I eat this bone? I picked it up, though the foot-stool creature followed me when I did. Did it belong to him? I threw the bone and the creature fetched it just like a pup would do. I decided to keep him as a pet and call him 'Chester'.
I liked this new pet. He would allow me to put items in his mouth, though they were very slobbery after I took them out, so I did not put food in there. I had spent all day with Chester. It was getting dark so I made a fire and settled in with Chester for the night.
