He looks all over the invisible barrier, trying to figure out what to do.
"Should we climb the nearest mountain? No, I don't know if we'll be able to climb much. Should we cross the forest? I have no idea how deep the forest is and what's hidden there. Don't want to go back there. Stay where I am? I think I'm going crazy.. "
He just kept muttering to him trying to understand what exactly needed to be done. He is slowly just starting to wear on my nerves.
[screw this!]
Suddenly the body started moving back from where we came, accompanied by my command. He looked straight at me:
"So you seem to have an idea where you should go"
[No, I just want to annoy you. call it an eye for an eye]
With every step the body takes, we move further and further into the forest. His face became more and more frightened:
"You want to go back to the forest, why?" He began to approach me and looked into my eyes, grabbing me with his bare wings and trying to understand me. I decided to ignore him and continue moving towards the forest. looked at me menacingly, but in vain at every step I took. I had an even better idea while just looking back at it.
The movement of the fake self began to increase its speed and with it, the engravings of "Sprint" began to glow. The human began to be surprised
"Oh no! I don't think you'll make us go back there, and so quickly!"
He quickly floated to the engravings and began to pass his bare wings over the glowing engraving and extinguished it. I try to command the body to return to its sprint, and it shuts it back down.
[It means war!]
We just kept repeating this cycle: I commanded the body to run while he turned it off. Every time we did this, his face only looked more crooked. I'm glad it happens while I navigate where the body is running to. Right here and left there, the faces of this human are starting to lose their sullenness:
"What in the your stupidity are you trying to make us do? You've seen how dangerous the forest is!"
[Yes, rat, how dangerous, coward]
He immediately stopped touching the engravings and grabbed me the next time.
"Oversized piece of chicken! Stop it! You're getting us killed at this rate!"
[Now that's what I like to see, we're equal now, aren't we?]
I looked at him with greedy eyes before he just threw me away, looking scared. It caused me to disconnect from the body for a few moments and the body stopped moving in a single moment. The human noticed this and calmed down. I didn't feel a thing when I crashed on the floor.
No pain, no sensation.
I stood up quickly and looked at him pettishly and angrily.
[You have the nerve to throw me away, rotten wood! You're lucky I can't hurt you, because if I did...]
He ignored my chirps and the sounds I was making on him and looked at the invisible barrier and in a single moment, I stopped my chirps and advanced next to him. Everything visible from the outside is no longer hidden among the shadows of the trees and the ground is no longer damp and full of leaves, these are an open field full of grass, such as I have not seen before. I didn't expect that we would get out of the woods... How long were we like that when we got out of the woods?
"You took us out of the forest?"
[That wasn't the plan, cowardly pananoid]
He immediately picked me up hugged me and looked at me:
"I can't believe you got us out of the forest, how did you know how to get out of there?"

more luck than brains. I wanted to stay in the forest but our whole fight, about running and jumping through the forest and my concentration on dodging between the trees until you blew me away like a leaf, you are full of insolence and stupidity.
He kept turning around to see and moved to the engravings.
"I think our fight did something to write on the wall"
I looked at the engravings and noticed something that appeared there:
----------------------------------------
Congratulations!
You have done enough sprints beyond your capacity!
The ability "Sprint" has been upgraded to the ability "Run"!
----------------------------------------
The body managed to last beyond what it was capable of. The body is stronger now
----------------------------------------
Warning! The body is exhausted! Life-threatening!
----------------------------------------
"Upgrading? Fatigue? Getting stronger? Is that possible?" He looks at me waiting for an answer and I also have no idea what exactly is going on. The battle between us somehow contributed to the strengthening of the body... What the body do wasn't a running?
He suddenly collapsed on the floor and I soon felt a sense of fatigue and exhaustion and soon followed him and crashed as well. The body behaved exactly like me and crashed on the grass. I couldn't even lift my head from exhaustion and I saw how the human looked at me:
"We are connected to this body, right? Everything it experiences, we experience it too"
He dragged himself to me and came closer in such a way that I could hear him breathing heavily, but no air came out of him:
"Let's not do this again"
[I can't promise anything]
We stayed like that for a while and slowly that felt like an eternity, I started to feel my strength coming back to me and I slowly started to lift myself. He behaved exactly like me, but the body outside remained lying on the grass. From among the invisible barrier, an open field spreads out in all directions, only what hides between the horizon and us is how big the grasses are. Or rather, how small the body is in relation to the growing grass. I ordered to look around the place. Behind us, not far, the forest from which we left and the high mountains are behind us, and in every other direction, the open field dominates the horizon line with a few solitary trees here and there. A view I have never encountered before.
"I guess" he began to speak: "Now that we're out of this forest, I'm afraid we've come to an even more dangerous place"
[What are you talking about] I'm tweeting, don't understand what he's talking about.
"There's no place to hide here. We're barely above the grass line here and I don't know what exactly awaits us over there, but I don't want to go back to the forest or know what's lurking in the fields. We have to be quick if we want to survive and think about where exactly we're going to go."
I understand what he is talking about. He was already scared of the rat, but we managed to lose him in the woods when he forced his body to run. But what I see beyond the invisible barrier, we don't exactly have a way to hide.
I look at him before I look at the barrier. The sun is high in the blue sky. The forest is behind us and at every corner only more grass awaits with a few trees here and there. I had only one thing in mind: to move forward.
I commanded the body as usual and we started moving forward towards the fields. With every step we took under the sun's eye, we passed more grass, but apart from the birds that flew above us, there was not another living soul, except ourselves. But the human's gaze is still in front of the barrier, following anything he thinks is dangerous for us. It was not very interesting as only the body moved forward in the grass until we reached a single tree that stood and I ordered to climb it.
A few moments later, we were already at the top of the tree. Unfortunately, there was nothing to eat on the tree, but the human had another idea:
"Great idea! That way we can see what's on the horizon" he motioned for me to move his head in all directions. Several things were seen in a way that by the time the sun was already starting to show signs of setting. There were the mountains from which we came. Not far from there, he started to get excited:
"We are not far from the river! This is excellent news"
We continued to scan the area and suddenly he asked me to stop:
"What exactly is that there? Do you notice it?"
I try to look where his naked wing is pointing. I can see something that looks like a field of stones, arranged in rows, but other than that, I can't understand what's there. He, on the other hand, doesn't exactly manage to see as well as I do.
"There's a line there. Something that looks like someone's work" he suddenly floated to him, trying to think before he landed and looked at me
"I think it's a village! Or at least it's ruins, but I can't see anything from this distance. It doesn't matter! There are people! We survived"
As soon as he said these words, his voice stopped and he quickly looked at me:
"Wait, I'm a bird now... I don't think humans like me will see me as a human"
[Wait, you want to tell me that there are others like you in the stone line there? It's enough that I have you, I don't need any more low trees, hollow paranoia like you. I am against]
I think we should rest for today on the tree. Tomorrow we will decide where to move.
As the sun set, the body found a place to rest among the branches, and with it closed its eyes, the room became pitch dark and the second day ended. The question is now where exactly should we move?
[I don't like this idea]
