Lily sped on through the forest, trying to reach the man ahead. She lost sight of him for a moment, but kept running. When Lily rounded the corner, she realized that the man had stopped running and was siting beneath a tree. I can't stop in time! Lily thought as she planted her heels on the ground, trying to slow herself. She hit a rock underfoot, which knocked her legs from underneath her. However, Lily's momentum kept her flying towards a large tree. She was dreading the impact, when she suddenly stoped moving. When Lily landed on the ground with a soft oof!, she realized that the man had caught her, preventing her from slamming into the tree. Lily sat up and brushed herself off with a sigh of relief. She then turned her attention to the man. "Thank you. I'm sorry if I startled you, but my family's farm is in this direction, and I didn't want the moblins following us to the farm. If they had, my family would be..." Lily shuddered at the thought. "I'm Lily, what's your name?"
