An Uneasy Alliance
Immediately, Kothar began to run across the deer's skin, heading for one of its forelegs, he slid down the deer's leg, grabbing onto hair as he fell to slow his fall. All the while the deer trotted along, which added an element of danger to Kothar's traversal off the deer, as he swung to and fro while he slid down the deer's leg.
The tall, lush grass whipped by as Kothar clutched at a hair near the deer's hoof, grabbing it tightly as the deer walked by the stream. With a deep breath, Kothar let go of the hair, hurtling toward one of the strands of grass and landing on the inner part of the 'v-shape' that a blade of grass made.
He slid down the blade of grass, landing neatly on his feet on the soil below, which to Kothar, appeared as slightly damp, distinct circular pieces of rocks, interspersed with decomposing matter, and smaller clumps of aggregated silt and clay.
