3 I also hate boats.

"Where was I... oh right, I was heading over in that direction." Running forwards, but this time slower, and keeping a cautious look out, the object began growing in sight. He started to hear voices, too. Too low in volume to comprehend, but still there. Eventually, he could make it out as a small boat. "A small boat in the wetlands? Why would anyone want to be here? Perhaps there's an artifact hidden around here?" Looking above, he could make out human-like figures on the boat. "Should I get closer though? I shouldn't assume they would be friendly... after all, don't cultivators in the novels I used to read work on a strike first ask questions later basis?"

"Lets see if they have noticed me, if they are normal humans, they shouldn't have noticed me since I can barely see them with my improved eyesight, not to mention I should blend with this vegetation with this black and green I am." He stood there, glaring at the boat. They should show some kind of reaction if they know I'm here.."

Meanwhile, on the boat.

The voice of a male could be heard. "Alright Ladies and Gentlemen, this marks our half way point through the tour through the Florida Everglades... at this time, in between the mangroves on our left, some birds can be seen wading in the water. These birds are actuall--" He was interrupted by the sound of a little girl with a pair of binoculars, "Hey look at that over there! Whats that?!" She was immediately chided by her mom. "Aria! Its rude to interrupt people when their talking!" She then looked at the guide apologetically. The guide didn't take this to heart however, and played along. "Hmm, lets see..." He grabbed his own pair of binoculars. "Where exactly should I look?" The girl pointed, "There!" "There!" "It looks like a furry person!" The tour guide laughed and looked through his binoculars.

"Lets see..." He then saw Ralsei, who currently was crouched in-between the mangroves, with a small, black furry face visible through the plants, and his green hat above. Ralsei however, unable to tell the movements or voices accurately, saw the lack of movement from the boat as a sign that he wasn't seen, and took the opportunity to approach.

"Alright, seems I wasn't noticed. I'll go closer, and see what information I can get." He crawled in between the mangroves, to a clearing of water. There, he noticed that the clearing was clearly made in a premade path, likely for boats like this one to use. Putting his hands to the water, he sighed, "Guess my robes will get dirty, too." He dived down, or at least, as far as he could without touching the floor. It wasn't much, but it hid most his body underground, though the top of his green hat could still be seen.

The tour guide, however, upon seeing this, dropped his binoculars in shock. "Whats wrong?" The girls mother worryingly said.

"N-No, Nothing..." The tour guide responded, unwilling to scare his patrons like this. He went to reactivate the airboat.

The girls mother was suspicious though, and turned her head to get a better look to where the others looked at before. There, she saw a small green thing sticking out of the water, moving towards the boat. She exclaimed, "A Crocodile is heading towards us!" The tour guide quickly looked and saw what he recognized as the being he saw earlier. He thought to himself, "Nah, nah, I don't want anything to do with this supernatural stuff." He turned up the engine, a bit faster than usual, and started leaving the place.

Ralsei was shocked though. "Could they have noticed me?" "Well... seeing as there's a path made here specifically for boats... it must lead somewhere, and anywhere it better than being here in the middle of nowhere." "Let me just move back onto the plants, Swimming through this would just be a bad way to travel. Plus, I could hide in the vegetation if anything were to happen." Coming out of the water, Ralsei noticed something. His robes actually weren't soaked, nor dirty. He then checked his fur... nope, still wet. Albeit, it isn't dirty.

Following the path was rather slow. After all, mangroves aren't exactly a good place to step on, it was more like crawling half the time. As time passed, eventually the sun started going down, and the sky darkened. "Its getting rather dark... and I don't see anywhere I could possibly stay overnight...." As he thought that, however, he saw something in the distance in front of him. It was solid land, with structures clearly made there. It looked like a port, with boats parked.

"Finally! Land! I can surely find a place to stay here... somehow..." Drawing closer, he noticed that this place was strangely... familiar. In every novel he read with reincarnation, the main characters always found themselves in a completely different world, with primitive technology, ultra advanced technology, or some sort of magical structures. But this... this is just a normal port-like place with air boats.

"Wait! Don't tell me this is just normal earth!?" "No, it couldn't be, how could I fit in!? I'd be dissected for experiments! Or put up for display like an exotic animal!" "Plus... I'm already exposed to the supernatural... with me becoming.. like this, I can't just resign to staying as I am! I want strength! Even marvel would be better, even though S.H.I.E.L.D would be on my case 24/7."

"Cowards never achieve anything. I won't hesitate to go explore this place any longer!" Taking steps closer, Ralsei observed the area. He was looking for people. Whether they be human or otherwise. The place was strangely empty. Looking around, he finally climbed onto the solid land. He saw no one. He looked around, and saw a path. "First I'll find someone, and finally observe just what type of world this is."

Walking along the path, he saw these people in the distance. He jumped behind a nearby tree, and peeked out, looking at them, hoping he would blend in.

"Hmmm, they look like humans. They're even wearing earth-like clothing.... I really don't want this to be regular earth..."

Those were the tourists leaving the park, as they spent more time in the various exhibits. Suddenly the voice of a little girl was heard, "Look mommy there it is again!", while she pointed straight at Ralsei. Ralsei was shocked to see someone pointing straight at him...
