Milo used the tall grass as cover whenever he could and easily weaved around and between obstacles almost as if they weren't there.  After a while, he stopped to catch his breath, having put a fair amount of distance between himself and the soldiers.  That was when he heard the blast, the shouting, and the general chaos as a pack of wolf creatures bore down on the soldiers and other kids.  Milo didn't know what to do.  He had never been in this sort of situation before, and he certainly didn't want to be in this situation now.  Unfortunately, that wasn't something that was in his power to decide.  That power was taken even more out of his hands when one of the wolf creatures saw him and began running after him.  With no other thought of what to do, Milo fled from the creature.

[i]Run Away skill?  What is this voice talking about?[/i] Milo asked, utterly bewildered, but aloud, he said, "Yes!  I want to run away from this thing!"

At first, it didn't seem like anything had happened, then Milo realized he was moving faster and avoiding pitfalls and obstacles in the terrain that he hadn't even realized were there.  It didn't take long for Milo to leave the wolf creature behind.  What he hadn't realized was that he was running right back in the direction he came, which was also right back towards the soldiers that he had been running from in the first place.  There would be no escaping from them this time, however, as they soon closed ranks around him and the other kids.  Milo was terrified and had no idea what was happening.  He made a mental note to run away again at the earliest opportunity, if he didn't get killed first.
