He opened his eyes to see a blurry blue sky above him. The ground he was laying on was soft and cool. Sitting up he looked around. Off in the distance there was some sort of large plant forest. To his right was a small lake with a river flowing out of it. Beneath him was a soft sand deposit.

A dangerous creature then. Too dangerous to fight with nothing more than a simple knife.
