It was a strange feeling at first. That is to say, no feeling at all; you were just in a strange combat stance. But as you practiced with Buddy you found a strange power while within this stance. Whenever Buddy tried to use his considerable strength and bulk to knock you over, you were easily able to stand your ground despite the massive weight disadvantage. When the battle moved over to some muddy terrain, you were able to easily skip and walk whereas Buddy’s feet sunk into the ground, slowing his movements down to a slog. And finally when it seemed like Buddy finally had you cornered, you were able to run up a tree to avoid him. Not climb, but literally run up the tree in your boots, no hands at all, like some sort of ninja. Buddy could only watch you from down below. It seemed that this stance had granted you some amazing mobility. Or perhaps this was simply another ability you’ve awakened. It was hard to say.

Soon the others were ready to go. Pylia called you and Buddy’s over saying it was time to move. The sun was starting to come up now and they wanted to try and reach the rest stop by noon. Buddy didn’t seem to have the Satyr style working for him as well as you, but he seemed to understand what you were doing and helped you get a better grasp of it. His final words before joining up with the others were [i]”Keep practice”[/i], written in the mud.
