Entro opened his eyes surrounded by fur... again.
'This will probably be a common occurrence'
Sitting up, he felt different.
His lungs felt full with every breath he took, as if he was breathing through a straw before.
Holding his breath, the oxygen still reached his system, as if the forest became his lungs.
Muscles brimming with power and energy.
He couldn't help but laugh, the feeling his body gave was euphoric.
He glanced at Agricore and saw him in a new light.
His heart pounded with the force of thunder in his chest.
The coat of midnight from before now glistened with energy and heat, shifting when the wind flowed through; it was gorgeous.
Wind pressure could be picked up by the hairs on his skin.
Entro blinked; taken aback.
'What's happening?'
Agricore moved slightly, shadows dancing across his fur.
Entro's skin tingled as he felt the vibration of a bird landed on a tree.
'This is confusing'
"Father, you're awake."
Agricore was talking, or some form that went directly into his head.
The temperature was 40 degrees above freezing.
"Yes, I just woke up."
An understanding hit him, like a freight train.
'I'm thinking in parallels,' all three thought processes said at once.
It was as if the world was now opened up to him and his body was greedily drinking from the cup of knowledge.
He skipped around, feeling every fiber of grass between his toes, the casual breeze running in two different directions in his hair; the glow life had to it.
"Agricore, I want to run with you when night falls," he exclaimed.
Rising from the ground, Agri tilted his head.
"Excuse my stepping out of place Father, but it is night."
Confused, Entro looked toward the sky. The moon was bright and beautiful, a white maiden in the sky gazing down upon the nieces and nephews that are Earth's children.
Looking around again, the world still looked bright and full of cover, only covered by different hues than he was used to.
Laughter escaped his lips once more.
"Then catch me if you can!"
Breaking into a full sprint, Entro ran hard.
His body could detect South without the need for direction; a walking compass.
They ran all night.
Stopping only when they reached the coast, just outside the city of Salina Cruz.
Entro wanted to keep going but there were only a few more hours of moonlight.
Plus, they still needed to clarify their plan of action.
"So do we go over the water, straight to Ushuaia, or skirt the coast?"
He was lying on Agri's — who had somehow taken on the height of a horse at the same size — chest. They were resting after a full night of running.
Without opening his eyes, Agri responded.
"You were asleep so you may not know Father, but crossing the border between the States and Mexico was quite difficult to do without drawing attention to myself."
Entro nodded in understanding.
"And just getting there would be crossing 10 borders, that would be a pain."
That still didn't answer the important question.
"How do we get across hundreds of miles of water?"
Agri didn't really have an answer, it sounded next to impossible.
Glancing at his hands, Entro felt the tingle that said a critter just ran up the tree a dozen feet away.
Clenching his fist, he felt the energy coursing through his veins.
"We're going to swim."
A lupine eye showed itself under Agri's eyelid before closing again.
"When do we leave?"
A smile found its way to Entro's lips, "Tonight."
They rested well, using each other's heartbeat as a lullaby.
Once night fell, Agri stirred, bringing Entro from the clutches of sleep with him.
Running to the coast, they stood on the precipice of a cliff, overlooking the calm waves that tried to lure them into false security.
Turning to Agri, Entro teased, "You ready?"
"Yes."
"We might drown."
Agri snorted, a hilarious gesture from a wolf, "You might."
Wasting no more time, Agri leaped from the cliff, clearing the threat from rocks below in a single bound and diving into the water.
Entro inwardly rolled his eyes.
'Show off'
Backing up, he got a running start and put all his newfound strength into the jump, easily clearing the rocks.
Wind bristled his ears as he rocketed head-first into the sea.
