Ralys was no stranger to waking up in unfamiliar places with no recollection on how he had got there, but this? This was strange. Ralys staggered to his feet, briefly taking in his surroundings. He was in some kind of forest. He blinked several times at the odd characteristics of this forest, though; the lava-esque substance flowing through the cracks in the ground, the illuminated foliage. For a moment, he wondered if he was hallucinating. It wouldn't be the first time.
"No use standing around," He muttered, and took a surprisingly steady step forward.
Rain fell from the sky in slow but heavy droplets. It was cool against his warm skin, but if it got any heavier he wasn't sure how much he would enjoy it. Just as that thought crossed his mind, it came down in sheets. He sighed, but kept walking.
A low growl from his hind stopped him dead in his tracks. His body tensed and the hairs on the back of his neck raised. If it was an animal- of course it was an animal -he had no chance of outrunning it, but he'd be damned if he just stood there and let it eat him. If he ran now, maybe it wouldn't pursue. Maybe it was just a warning growl, and once he was off its property it would leave him be? Without a second thought, he bolted forward, as fast as his legs would take him away from whatever it was behind him. Low branches whipped against his face as his feet pounded against the wet ground. He could feel his blood pumping in his ears, and his heart beating against his chest the further he ran, but he dare not stop.
He saw movement ahead of him through the trees. He only caught a glimpse, but it was obvious to tell there were people there. He didn't hesitate to steer their way; if this thing was chasing him, he would have a much better chance surviving its attack if he were in a group.
