A portal appeared at the top of a canyon. It was various shades of pink in color. As a girl stepped out, onto the ledge, there was a thundering of many hooves below. Her laquine ears twitched at the sound, since it was so loud. However, she continued forward, towards the jungle.
"Yes, this place suits my needs just fine. I may just stay here a while. After all, there seems to be plenty of opportunity to explore."
Sniffing the air, Kyrn could tell that this place was different from the forest that she grew up in. The air was more humid, the plants were different, and the animals were more peaceful.
"Yes, I can do a lot of exploring here. I may even find something important, if I'm lucky."

Arriving just behind the girl was not a man anymore, but black panther with some azure-colored spots from the end of its tail to its upper hind legs, the same color that was at the tips of his hair. The absence of its blindfold wouldn't indicate much as his eyes remained closed. The portal would close once he was through, and JeY would let out a long but mostly silent yawn and stretch out its body as much as it could go. He didn't have to breathe, though having a new set of lungs in a foreign atmosphere forced a brutal exchange of molecules.
"This world often transforms humanoid creatures into fully-fledged animals. This is not my first experience here, but the transformation is consistent. I'm only explaining so you are not startled by my appearance."
JeY walked up and sat next to the girl as she finished monologuing. "There are many mysteries on all worlds in this dimensional cluster. However, while I am here please excuse me for a moment while I attend to some business." He got back up and walked a few paces off, but was definitely still within earshot. "Gan'Kromorg!" While his voice was elevated, it still lacked emotion entirely. It was just a louder monotone.
The panther started to glow a translucent gray, before the energy glowing around him sprang out into a wide open expanse in front of him and took the form of a jet-black lindwyrm dragon with glowing red eyes. "What... Happened to y--" it tried to speak in a deep booming voice, though JeY instantly cut him off.
"I need you to do some scouting for me on the status of this world. I'll be communicating details telepathically. I must know what remnants of corruption from my last visit are still here." The dragon nodded, flew off high into the sky, and then seemed to vanish into a portal it created after a large biting motion. JeY returned to the girl's side once more, assuming she was still there, otherwise he would have to catch up.
Regardless of her expression, he wouldn't give any other details of what just happened unless she specifically asked; maybe. "Apologies. We can walk while we talk, as well." Whether or not she started moving after that or kept moving was up to her, but he would still be following however. "So you said you were in a battle before you came here... With what, may I ask?"

Kyrn was, in fact, still there. However, she now looked like a muscrat. Her smaller stature was something that would take some getting used to. However, on checking her front paws, she learned that she still had opposable thumbs.
"Well, I seem to have lost my ability to run or jump. Tell me, what have I gained in return? And don't you dare make any short jokes."
Studying the area around her further, she had this unexplainable urge to look west while the sun of thos world started to set.
"Interesting, it seems this form has it's own peculiarities. I will need to get used to that."
Then she remembered that he asked a question.
"I didn't really see the enemy. All I know is that it was really dark outside......in the middle of the day. What could cause such an event?"

This girl was a more esteemed adventurer than JeY would've predicted. An interesting turn of events, but he wasn't super impressed quite yet. It wasn't difficult to seem competent despite how rare that occurrence actually was, but to see her apply herself would be a different story. "Functionally, you have gained nothing. However, now you will blend in with the world's creatures as non that are humanoid exist. Keep in mind I don't make the rules here." It felt like an important reminder to make, even though it seemed obvious he had no control over the laws that resided in a foreign place.
Although if she could be any more vague about her previous occurrence she may as well just remained silent. No matter, he had other ways of getting the information he wanted. His next suggestion would be two-fold, but his primary motives didn't need to be exposed quite yet. "There is nothing I can derive from yor statement. If you will permit me, I can search your mind and attempt to experience the memory as if it were my own and catch details you may have not been aware of."
The man now feline was always able to look straight into the traveler girl's eyes, despite not even opening his own once. His stare typically felt unnatural in this state though perhaps his vision wasn't garnished though ocular processing.

"That might work. Oh, the day prior, I bagged a Malboro by myself."
While Kyrn was not particularly fond of anyone browsing through her thoughts, she had to admit that the idea held merit. It was the fastest way to get information.
"That reminds me. We won't have to do much scouting in a place with this much plant-life."
She wanted to guage his reaction before continuing with that bit of information, but it may have proven useful, so she continued anyway.
"My people have something of a telepathic link with plants. In a place with this many of them, I may even be able to retain a level of control over the plants."
This time she waited before speaking again. She wasn't quite sure if he understood what she was saying at first, and simply reassured herself of her hunting capabilities.

While telepathy with plants seemed like an interesting power, she seemed to be lost as to what was being scouted. JeY wasn't interested in a lay of the land or the setting, but instead wanted to know the status of a deeply-rooted dark power planted here long ago back when he aligned with a collective of villains for universal domination, or something. Of course it didn't work out, villains were the worst to work with in terms of getting anything done. They're too greedy.
Maybe the plants would know a thing or two about physical results, but the details he was after could not be observed from the surface. "Plants having thoughts or feelings isn't a new concept to me in general, but I wonder what information basic flora is able to give you" JeY wondered aloud to the girl. It was a legitimate question. He probably wouldn't be amazed at the answer as he expected something fairly typical as a reply, but was open to surprise.
The telepathic link exercise seemed like it would have to wait until they were both ready, she seemed hesitant about the idea at her core even if she didn't show aversion physically, however wasn't completely opposed. It was a start. He would strategically wait to bring it up again later at a more convenient time, perhaps after a larger bridge of trust has been established.

When Kyrn touched a nearby fern, she began to see the memory of this world. Though, the clearest memory that she could see was rather confusing. It involved a boar, a muscrat, and a lion singing a whimsical song and dancing in a theatrical manner. This confused Kyrn in a number of ways. Why did the lion cub not simply eat the muscrat and the boar? Didn't lions eat meat? Why did it allow itself to consume insects? As she removed her hand from the plant, she felt compelled to dive into a nearby dead log for food, but convinced herself not to.
"Interesting. What reason would a lion cub have for befriending a muscrat and a boar? Why not simply eat them? That's the natural order, is it not?"
Kyrn wasn't sure what, if anything, JeY expected her to see, but that was the trick to her ability. What was seen wasn't always what one expected.
"Have you ever seen a predator befriending it's prey? Even joining it in whimsical songs?"

While contemplating a response, JeY was silent for a moment. This was familiar, though at the edge of his memory banks. He remembered the gist of what these worlds are, but with how long ago he was a viewer of the media that this world derives from would hamper his ability to remember. He would have a response for the girl, however. "The rules of each world change drastically as you travel between them. You'd think animals singing is nonsensical enough as it is, but you will just have to accept that things work differently around here."
The pride lands were never really a favorite of his - he never remembered even coming here in the first place back before he embarked on his otherworldly destiny, when he was still a regular human in the mix of things. Coming to it now... well it was vacant, and the animal form seemed hampering even though the rules of the world made it easy to move around in.
"If you want, we can meet the lion himself and you can ask him directly." Except, there was one caveat. "However my appearance is a bit more intimidating than most and I bare resemblance to what has caused a lot of evil here, so they might be hesitant to trust you if you're with me" he stated, sounding as monotone as ever. "I wouldn't blame anyone for being superficial as to judge by appearance here, especially after what's happened."
Still, he was willing to accompany her as long as she liked; he had nothing better to do and her origins still perplexed him. The girl seemed to still be adjusting, he thought he might be patient a little while longer before imposing his own selfish motives on their journey.

"I suspect meeting with the locals will be our best chance at acquiring more information. We may even learn something useful."
As she spoke, Kyrn had a sort of deadpan look on her face. This was nothing new, however. She almost never smiled or got excited outside of combat anymore.
"Very well, let us meet with them. I will follow your lead, since you seem to be more familiar with the area than I am."
She almost sounded bored, as if she had half-expected to be attacked upon arrival.
"Oh, and to keep in mind that I have many ways of making people talk."
Saying so, she attempted to climb onto JeY's back.
