Two-leggeds. Why did it have to be two-leggeds? [COMPLETE]

[spiritunbridled.livejournal.com]

Characters: Spirit, random Lumens, Kit Fisto, Cloud Strife
Content: Spirit arrives outside Niflheim and is very confused, to say the least. Later, Kit meets up with him inside the city, and then Cloud meets up with Kit.
Setting: Outside Niflheim gate, later just inside it.
Time: Afternoon
Warnings: None.

Prey animals that rely on speed are naturally light sleepers, so when Spirit's night abruptly became day he kicked off into a gallop before fulling waking up. As he turned around to face any potential predators behind him, his jaw dropped open.

Spirit's homeland did not, to his knowledge, have nearly that many two-leggeds in it. And he was sure it didn't have... well, it didn't have that thing all the two-leggeds were lined up in front of. As a final confirmation that he either wasn't home or was hallucinating extremely vividly, his herd was nowhere to be seen or smelled.

There's only so much even the bravest heart can take in one go, particularly when it resides in someone whose instincts prefer flight over fight. Spirit wheeled around, away from the two-leggeds, and ran.

"Huh. Well, I'd rather find at least something grassy first, but some soup with plants in it doesn't sound half bad. Sounds sort of like eating plants that grow in water on their own."

Spirit looked around, scanning the vast field of blonde for any spikes. Not finding any at present, he looked back at Kit with a curious expression. "I've never heard of any forces that give hints, either." There was a pause, then a laugh. "I've been getting confused here even easier than the last time I was away from home."

"The Force is the sum of all forces. In a manner of speaking." Kit, thoughtful, returned the glance and spoke seriously. "The Force is an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and flows through us, binding us---and all other life---in our connections to each other and everything else, from the plants around us and underfoot, to the other creatures living their lives. A Jedi is trained to feel the Force, and to use it---only for knowledge and defense, never in anger, or for personal gain. There's a feeling in it if someone's unwell or something is wrong, or if everything is in balance and alright. It's hard to put it into words...but I would also hope that this has helped, a little."

The nautolan straightened and stepped away from the tree, half-turning with an air of pleased anticipation. "As an example, I believe I feel a friend approaching."
