As the 10 meter large wolf like beast stood in front of Hisashi, the very presence of the beast felt like instead of needles but knives piercing his body. It was absolutely painful and suffocating to just be in the very presence of the great beast. Normally, if a temple city was around here and the wolf creature was a threat the Saurus would pay no heed and attack the great beast. But, that was if they were a Saurus. Hisashi was a new race of lizardmen, with the mind of a human the words "Run. Get the hell outta here!" blared in his mind like an alarm. And he did just that.
Without wasting a millisecond he turned around he legged it as fast as his blue reptilian legs could take him. Bulging and tensing his muscles, his leg smashed into the ground propelling him forward. In the eyes of a human, Hisashi would have disappeared in a blur, but to the wolf Hisashi moved slow.
While the wolf's presence made the wolf look more savage than it should have, the wolf was actually just curious of the strange scaly creature. It was even more curious when it found out how slow it was, even the slowest of creatures could outmaneuver the small scaly creature. To satisfy it curiosity, it chased the weird creature.
Hisashi kept running as fast as he could, but no matter how fast he ran he could still feel the creature's painful presence stabbing into him. His mind was in panic, just as he made the apex Lizardman was he going to be killed? Well it seemed that way to Hisashi, he kept smashing the jungle floor with his Kroxigar strength, trying to run from the wolf beast.
The wolf kept chasing Hisashi, it was currently complaining in it's mind how sloppy Hisashi's movement technique was, it was using too much strength! One must use the necessary amount of force, but Hisashi was just smashing his feet on the floor like a barbarian. The wolf on the other hand was a master on movement techniques, even with a weight far surpassing Hisashi's it moved around the forest like a feather in the wind, no sound nor smashing the jungle floor.
But this was the predicted outcome as Hisashi had just gotten his new body, with that in mind he had not gotten used to the body at all, therefore his lack of control. Also, his horrible movement technique was because he didn't know one! In fact, Hisashi knew the most effective method of charging into an enemies line as the Saurus were the main fighting force of the lizardmen, therefore knowing how to maul your enemies more efficiently was a must need. On the other hand, retreat was never an option for the Saurus except on rare occasions, so the most efficient was to run away wasn't... mandatory.

As Hisashi kept running, his horrible running kept sapping away the massive pool of stamina he had, draining him of energy. Yet, the adrenaline kept pumping through his veins as the danger right behind him was currently booping it's wet nose onto his cold scaly back.
Now the wolf booped his nose from time to time onto Hisashi's back, but Hisashi it seemed like the horrible wolf was just playing with his meal before gobbling him up for snack. He cocked his head around, looking towards his back. In his mind, what he saw was a savage wolf that drooled, poking it's nose at Hisashi's back to signify that he could eat Hisashi whenever it wanted, Hisashi turned his head around quickly and ran even faster.
But actually, the wolf just did it because the cool scales of Hisashi was quite comforting to the wolf. As it chased Hisashi, it started to notice the dwindling mana within the air, signifying the enclosure to the center. It didn't like the center, the center had very little no mana in the eyes of the wolf. So it gave up on the weird scaly creature, but that not before it grabbed it by it's head with it's jaws and smashed Hisashi into the jungle floor.
Hisashi stood in the cold dirt, shivering as he looked at the wolf creature. Was it finally time? Closing his eyes he prepared to embrace the cold touch of death. But what he got was a boop on his head, he slowly opened his eyes only to see the wolf creature gone. He stood there dazed, his body still submerged in the dirt. He thought that the wolf lost interest so he quickly pushed himself out of the dirt.
He looked around himself, noticing the current area he was in had taller trees that went up to 100 meters, shrouding the jungle floor in darkness. He also noticed that when he had first arrived in the hellish jungle there was some kind of energy that floated in the air, and compared to where he was before the energy in his current had much less, if compared it seemed like the area before was a lush land filled with life while this place was a dry land that had an everlasting drought.
He wriggled his fingers, trying to calm himself. Maybe the wolf went away because there was less of the energy here? He nodded to himself, concluding that he was right. To be on the safe side, he went deeper into the jungle, choosing his path based on if the energy gone denser of less.
Soon, parting the jungle bushes aside he subconsciously breathed out a sigh at the sight. 8 meter tall walls made of ancient stone were covered in moss and vines, showing it's ancient age. But poking above the walls was a staggering 15 meter tall temple, lined with torch stands that housed torches that had burned out long ago.
At he stood there mesmerized by the sight, a blue box belonging to the Warhammer System appeared before him.
