Two Rivers Isle two world collide!

Ulrich was still running when he was slapped in the face by a dead, bloody snake. He stopped short, his mouth open in shock as he blinked several times. Then he smelled the blood and his nostrils flared. He quickly looked down at whatever had hit him, saw the snake on right by his front paws, and jumped backwards with a wordless yell. A second later, he realized it was dead--and beaten to a bloody pulp. He stared down at it for a few long moments, and then sat down heavily and began to laugh.

He laughed so hard that he was afraid he might pee himself, and soon found himself completely on the ground, rolling in mirth, roaring with laughter. This was like the time Adylaide had caught two rabbits for dinner, except one of them had still been alive, and hopped away just as he was about to bite into it. He laughed and laughed and snorted and rolled around in the snow, completely oblivious to the fact that Iseul was still there, and probably thought he was crazy.
