Jonesy, a young lad of about 8 years old, was out hiking with his family. All of the sudden a big lion parachutes out from the sky and blocks him and his family's path. The lion gives his family winning cruise tickets from some local radio competition. Then the lion tail whips the family and they all go flying all the way to the ocean to swim on board the new cruise that they are going to go on.
The lion yawns, briefly glances at Jonesy, does a down dog stretch, and then leaps into the brush off the side of the trail and bounds away. Jonesy, trying to understand the enigmatic turn of events, approaches the cliff to see if he can tell where the lion went. Just then the cliff crumbled beneath Jonesy's feet and he tumbled down the hill into a lush forest meadow.
Passed out unconscious, a number of forest animals approached Jonesy's body. Deer, rabbits, skunks, all were sniffing the boy. Jonesy's eyes opened and he sprang up using all four of his limbs to tackle one of the deer, sinking his teeth into the woodland creature's neck. "I'm on my own now," Jonsey thought to himself, "and it's survival of the fittest out here."
Lightning struck a nearby log in the meadow and Jonesy roasted the deer meat and ate until he was stuffed. Then, Jonesy scampered on all four limbs through the meadow until he found a cabin. Jonesy lept through the window of the cabin and continued to wreak havoc inside the cabin running on all four's.
The cabin was abandoned but there was (pre-Jonesy) neat and orderly furninture. A bookshelf, a table, a bed, a couple chairs, a stove, and some drawers. Now all that remained was a pile of rubble. Jonesy licked himself, some minor scrapes and dust were all over his body.
The boy found a map and a journal in the wreckage that pointed to a hidden treasure nearby. The cabin's perspicacious occupant must be out looking for the treasure Jonesy thought.
Instead of following the clues to a certain treasure, or at least a fellow human being who could help Jonesy out, the boy continued his obdurate streak of savagery. The boy cast a pyromancy level 5 spell at the cabin and burned it to the ground.
The boy felt ineffable magic energy coursing through his veins. He started flying above the treeline enjoying the cool night air and wind blowing through his hair. Faint mellifluous humming came from the trees below near the river. The boy descended. He saw a dwarf and an elf humming while they were panning for gold.
The boy slipped into the water and climbed into a large catfish's mouth. Then he controlled the catfishes body to approach the dwarf and elf. The boy-engorged-catfish sprung from the river at the dwarf and knocked him unconscious.
The elf was a beautiful female and came running to the dwarf's aid. The boy popped out of the catfish as she got near, gave her a big smooch on the lips, and then did a backflip back into the river and floated all the way down river to a big dam.
He fell off the dam about 100 feet but floated with his magical ability right before making impact, preserving his life. The boy then swam to shore and started wandering through the woods aimlessly.
