Now, this was something he needed: a nice dip in the hot springs. The company of several friendly rodents. All the vegetables he could eat. What more could a capybara ask for?

He knew the answer without really considering it. He missed his friends. For the first few weeks, he had tried to figure out where he was, but there was nothing to help him. He seemed to be an endless world of hot springs and giant trees. None of the other animals he had met had been capable of his level of communication, and the more he wandered, the more he worried they wouldn’t find him if they came searching.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

That meant after six months, he had taken up a permanent, at least for now, residence at a very comfortable hot spring, hoping that one day, his friends would appear. He was quite lonely without them, plus there were still multiple worlds to save.
