"I need gold," Sparrow told the camera, "I found a little in that chest we found, but not enough." He picked up the camera and set off in the direction he found the treasure in.
"I haven't really been in this direction so I thought I'd give it a go. Wait." Sparrow stopped in his tracks, set down his camera and pulled out a telescope. In the distance he saw a strange house with a tower.
"That wasn't here last time. I am I going crazy? Surely not so quickly after landing would I go crazy right? I'm not crazy," Sparrow chuckled to himself, "I hope." He walked out onto a peninsula. There was water to either side, across the water behind him was his home, and across the water in front of him was a strange house he hadn't seen before. Next to him, was a lovely chestnut horse
"Doesn't look like anyone's home? Wait, what's that?" There was a creature with pointed ears and tail gliding around on the ground, other than that it looked human.
"Is that a hybrid?" Sparrow asked, "Oh no, he's spotted me!" Sparrow hopped on the horse and tried to get it to ride off.
"Hi!" The hybrid was right in front of him.
"Ahhhh!" Sparrow screamed and fell off the horse, scrambling backwards.
"Why were you watching me?" The Hybrid asked.
"Oh I wasn't!" Sparrow quickly lied, "I was looking at..." He looked around.
"This beautiful horse!" The Hybrid picked up Sparrow's dropped telescope.
"See I don't think you were. I'm Scott."
"Uh, Sparrow." Sparrow stood up and shook Scott's hand.
"You wanna see my house?" Scott asked.
"Uhhh."
"Great!" Scott put his arm around Sparrows ribs and stood next to him, transporting him and Sparrow.
"Oh my god!" Sparrow stood to one side and retched.
"What was that?"
"My ability!" Scott replied cheerfully, "Yeah, it can be hard on the stomach."
"No kidding! Wait! You're a hybrid!?"
"What's a hybrid?"
"That's what I call people with powers, and abilities."
"Oh, yeah, I'm a transporter," Scott shrugged.
"Would you mind if we took a picture together?"
"Uh, sure."
Sparrow set down his camera in front of them and stood next to Scott.
"Say cheese!"
"Cheese!" Scott smiled.
"Thank you so much! Would you mind if I interview you? I'm a researcher, I crash landed here, and I'm researching hybrids!"
"Sure I guess," Scott shrugged. Scott showed Sparrow inside and they sat down on Scott's couches across from each other.
"I'm here with a real hybrid, this is Scott!"
"Hello."
"So, Scott, you said, you're a transporter, what does that mean?"
"I can move around my atoms, and teleport."
"And others apparently," Sparrow added.
"And others," Scott chuckled.
"Oh did you get your powers?" Scott paled for a second, thinking back to how he actually got his powers.
"Uh, they just sorta happened."
"Oh, so you wouldn't know how I could get them?"
"No, sorry." This was a complete lie, he knew Exactly how Sparrow could get powers, it just wasn't pleasant.
"Oh okay," Sparrow sighed.
"You want something to eat?" Scott offered.
"Sure, is it hybrid food?" Sparrow asked.
"No," Scott chuckled, "it's normal food."
"Oh." Why does he sound disappointed? Scott thought.
Scott showed Sparrow how to make spaghetti with mutton chops.
"Mmmh," Sparrow said, mouth full, "This is a lot better than boiled carrots."
"Yep."
"Thank you so much!" Sparrow waved as Scott showed him out.
"Do you wanna grab the waystone?" Scott asked.
"Oh, yeah!" Sparrow remembered, spinning around trying to find where his house was, "I live that way."
"Good to know," Scott chuckled, "Bye!"
"Good night!"
