Nikolai could not just stand there, he needed to find a way out. He didn't know how long the shrinking potion would last, and there had to be a reason he was small. A small cave.. a small door? He thought of different possibilities as his feet once again started to move.

Thanks to the tough grass, he didn't get very far when a noise caught his attention.. giggles? He didn't think anything would be in the grass, and what could possibly be small enough, besides himself, to hide and not be seen? Slight worry taking over him due to the heard but unseen, Nikolai pulled out his wand and turned on the spot. Still nothing noticeable except the grass and the giggles were then exchanged for footsteps.

It was a creature, he knew it!

He lied when he thought he'd rather fight a Chimaera! He failed at his creature class!

Turning back around, he started walking with a quickened pace away from the mysterious sounds and through the tough grass.
