A circle of blue light that emanated from Noa's Shifting Shard shrank into its center and disappeared. He had landed a few short meters from the bank of the swamp, and a soggy mixture of water, mud, and muck swallowed his lower legs. "So this is Charon," the Shardcaster said. Aside from the surrounding trees, this world didn't resemble the Neotopian forest he first discovered Sachira in much after all. Leaves dripped off their branches like slime, and as far as he could see he couldn't tell if the grasslands were solid enough to walk upon without sinking. But surveying the land wasn't his priority. Climbing over the bank, he headed for a clearing north of his current occasion

Then a high-pitched scream punctured the air.

The dark-haired lad spun his head around. A girl? he thought. He kicked off towards the direction it came from, a figure with two long pigtails coming to view. "Hey," he called out, "what's going on?"

Usagi kept running, the sweat dripping off her brow. Behind her was the frog, croaking menacingly as it kept up its pace, even though she was running very, very fast.

Then she saw someone pop up into view, and she began to panic.

"FROG!!" She screeched. "GET OUT OF THE WAY, IT SPITS ACID!!"

A girl with blond hair and blue eyes emerged from the far away form Noa spotted ahead. She was running his direction and screamed frantic warnings.

"Frog?"

As soon as the word left Noa's mouth, the orange amphibian spat purple fluid at her back. Faint smoke wafted from the substance as it shot forward -- obviously not a good sign.

"Watch out!" Noa said, side-stepped, and leaped at her from her left. His body slammed against hers as they fell to the earth out of the toxic saliva's range. It instead burned a nearby tree branch, the limb thin enough for the spit to slice through and drop part of it on top of the pair. The branch squeezed a pained gasp out of the boy, slightly shaken from the impact. Pushing himself up, he offered the girl a hand. "Are you all right?" he asked.

"Uh....yeah." Usagi gulped. "But that frog doesn't look too happy still."

Indeed, it let out another angry ribbit.

"I tried to catch it and it just...." she whimpered. "I didn't think capturing frogs would be this difficult!"
