The land had fields and smelled of fruit.  It was pleasant enough.  The many stone caves made little sense to the dinosaur.  Then it faithfully joined the nature wielder on the trip with the flying loud thing.  It nearly died if not for the restless little man.  The air became cold and soon the white stuff came.  Still he stayed and did what the nature wielder asked.  It was fun to have the good magic.  It could run faster, claw harder and climb like a spider bug.  Then the roaring thing fell from the sky.  It survived but was forced to walk in the white snuff.  It was cold.  So cold.Then the nature wielder saw a large and tall hairy creature with wings.  He left the dinosaur for the flying thing.  Why?   What did it do wrong?  It tried not to become sick but the cold hurt its chest and its feet.  It even gave pain to its eyes.  But to be with the nature wielder was worth it.The dinosaur was missing its humanoid companion.It wandered for two days in the forest.  The first day was scariest.  Other men chased it.  The men whom trapped the winged hairy creatures.  It wished it had wings.  Maybe the nature wielder would have kept it then.Food was hard to find.  There were smaller furry creatures that ran above and below the white cold.  There where some that screeched and chattered at him from the hard trees.  Then came last night.  There were many of the creatures.  They smelled like the creatures that his humanoid companion had before him.  They growled and bit and ran at him but he was faster and could jump better.  Not as good as when jumping from the roaring and burning flying thing but still jump better.But the bites …they hurt.  Hurt so bad.I feel tired….  Sick ….  Going to go away now …  I miss my humanoid companion….Even as the sickly dinosaur lies down a silhouette of a goblin climbs without a sound from a tree.  The goblin looks at the dinosaur from a safe distance.  Her skilled eyes look over this curiosity.  Lizards did poorly in these woods.  Some newts and salamanders survived but they knew to dug deep into the mud and deepest roots of the trees here.  This ..creature was not even a native.  What was it?The Ranger created a gurney and brought the sick dinosaur to her warm cave.  Perhaps this creature was meant for something.  Maybe to join her in the protection of these woods.Months went by.  The dinosaur was very ill for several weeks.  The chill settled in its lungs and it had developed frostbite on several toes and the tip of the tail.  But it got better.The snow melted and the flowers blossomed and the ranger knew the choice to save this queer creature from another world was a good one.  She had a new friend and companion.  Kick-sharp took to being a mount very well.  It hunted as well as any woodland large cat she knew of.  And Kick-sharp intimidated many of the clans here.  There was a reason he was brought to her.  She thanked the spirits for him and turned to investigate the rumors of a haunted cave that was causing illness in the village by the lake.</blockquote>
