Len was tired. This place he was at was anything but what he was used to, back in his home city. He wasn't sure where he was, and he had already lost track of when it was. To begin with he made sure to keep track of time, but after a few months it seemed like there just wasn't any point. He had managed to make himself some makeshift clothing, to keep himself alive, and thanks to his slight sense of survival he was capable of making a tiny, awful shack, one that even a homeless man in his home town wouldn't live in. But it was his home right now, and he had to make sure to survive, to get back to his home town, to get back to piloting *that* thing.

Today was a day somewhat unlike the others. He had a tiny river close by to his shack, where he usually went to try and get some food. Fish was what kept him alive, but today was a bit different. He was feeling lucky to begin with, getting a huge load of fish. But that was a short enjoyment, as he was ambushed by something that wanted the fish he had worked so hard for. He wasn't sure what animal it was, it was something he had never seen before. But the sheer size of it made him think of something like a bear, except this thing looked madder.

He wasn't ready for the strong push he got, and fell into the river. One to quickly get on his feet, he didn't waste any time fiddling around in the water, instead trying to intimidate the bear-like beast. His grunting and growling did not seem to scare off the beast, as it instead lunged at him again. He knew that he couldn't take on such a thing head-on, but he lost his footing thanks to the water. The beast took this chance and swiped at him. Len was sent flying from the sheer swipe of the beast, and he landed on one of the rocks several feet away.

This was not a beast a man could possibly beat. And Len knew when he was beaten. His arm broken from the fall, and his clothes turned into little more than tattered rags, he fled the field. He was scared, and his thoughts were all over the place. What is this place? he wondered as he ran. And ran some more.

He managed to get back to his humble shack and lick his wounds, but he wasn't sure how he could possibly fix his arm. Half his body covered in blood, he was still afraid. A slight shuffling could be heard, as if someone was walking nearby. Was the beast back? He got even more afraid. But as he carefully looked out of his shack he saw not a beast, but a human. A woman, even. That caused him to feel relief. He finally found another person in this awful hellhole, and he could barely keep his happiness within him. He waved his functional arm at the person, and called her out.

"Heeeey!" he shouted as he was walking up to her. "Is there a town or hospital or something nearby?"

When he got a closer look at the woman he noticed that she was wearing some armor unlike anything he had ever seen before, and that her hair was something out of this world, but things like that wasn't important right now. What was important was to find civilization, get some proper sleep, a decent meal and thanking this woman for walking this path today.
