  You finally decide to follow Mary. After all, she seems to know where she is going. The two of you run for about an hour. You realize that you don't get tired running. Maybe your a magical wolf. Mary doesn't tire either, the two of you just run for an hour straight. You eventually reave a clearing in the forest. The clearing is circular, and must be magical in someway, because the leaves of the trees are cut off as soon as they enter the circle. Mary turns to you and says "This is called a Flip Zone. If you stand in the middle and focus hard, you will fall through the earth into another world. You don't smell like you belong in Vanvid."
  Mary then walks to the centre of the circle and closes her eyes. After a while she starts to tip over, and falls. But she doesn't hit the ground. Instead she falls through it, like she said, and disappears. You stand where she was, when she is fully vanished, and do the same. You imagine yourself falling into another world, and then let yourself fall. It works! You open your eyes and find yourself standing in the middle of a tower. Mary is standing in front of you now, except she isn't a wolf anymore. Well she is, but she's standing upright, and her front paws are now hands again, though still padded and furry like paws. She is also wearing clothes, a grey tank top, and jean shorts. She also has long black curly hair flowing down her back. Looking at yourself your also an anthropomorphic wolf now.
  "Good, you made it. Welcome to Loupville." You look over the tower, and see a modern looking city, except everyone is a wolf, like you and Mary.
  "If you come to the mayor's, maybe he can figure out which world you come from, follow me still."
  The two of you walk through the city. You can't stop staring at everyone. They are going about normal business, walking to work, shopping at a sidewalk sale, except everyone is a wolf. No one seems to mind you staring, and some stare back. You reach the mayors house, and meet the mayor, another wolf.
  "Sit down in my office, and we'll get to the bottom of this." he says
  "By your smell, I can tell your not an Anthroman. And you seem to be particularly un-magical, so you don't come from Vanvid. I think I have seen a person like yourself, a Human I believe."
  "Yes, Human, that's what I a... um, was."
  "Well then, you come from Terra then, which is rotten luck here. You see to get back to Terra, you'll need to travel back to Vanvid, and find either the portal you came through, or another one leading to Terra. I recommend going to Canine Capital, and then flipping to Vanvid, because a Terra portal is nearby, but you could go back to the tower, and look for where you came from there. Either way, Mary will help you. So where will you go?"
  
  > go back to the tower
  You decide to go back to Vanvid the way you came here, by means of that tower. Back on the other side, you and Mary are both completely wolves again. Neither of you know of anything interesting nearby, so you just wander for a while. Eventually you come to something very peculiar; a small train, the perfect size for a wolf. The rail seems to stretch endlessly down the grassland, and perfectly straight. You decide to investigate the wolf sized train. Upon entering the train, you hear some violin music playing. Mary says she'll check the engine car, while you check the last one. The caboose of the train is used for storage. There are crates everywhere. As you inspect a label on one box, the train suddenly lurches forward. You quickly look out the window, to see that the train is moving. You quickly rush to the middle car, where Mary is running towards you. You ask her what happened.
  "I don't know. I was looking at the controls for the train and ... must have hit a lever or something. You rush to the front of the train, and look outside. It seems the train has entered a portal or something, because a tunnel of blue and white light spirals before you, as the train barrels down it. Mary notes that a panel has appeared that wasn't there before. On it are buttons with various names like Marde, Nercrora, and ... Anthrova! Could this panel be listing worlds, like destinations. You search the panel and find a promising button marked Terra Novum. Maybe this will lead back home! Then again this could an opportunity to explore other worlds...
  
  > hit 'Terra Novum'
  You hit the Terra Novum button. Strange whiring noises commense, and the tunnel changes from blue to red. There are several blinding flashes, and once you can see again, you notice you are human now, as is Mary. This seems promising. The tunnel of light soon gives way to a dense forest. Shortly after, the train comes to a grinding halt. The two of you exit the train. Mary is to busy inspecting her fully human body, so you take a look around. The trees here are massive! They must be all at least a quarter mile tall! You've never seen trees like this. Maybe this is Vancouver, you think you remember hearing they have real big trees there. Mary is now looking up at the trees as well, seeming just as amazed as you. She turns to you and asks where you are. Before you can answer, you begin to hear loud thumping noises, like something huge stomping around. You begin to panic, Mary asks what to do...
  
  > get back in the train
  You panic, and say to get back in train. Back in the train the sound grows nearer. Not wanting to meet whatever is making the noise, you begin to press every button, turn every knob, and pull every lever, in an attempt to get this thing moving. Eventually, the train shoots forward quickly, and enters a yellow tunnel. The controls change to the panel of buttons. You press one, any one, to get you away from that place. It would seem the train disagreed with your choice, as a buzzer sounds, and the tunnel rapidly changes all sorts of colours. You look towards Mary for her recation. Just then there is a blinding flash. Now Mary is a wolf again. Another flash and she is an anthropomorphic wolf. There are multiple flashes, and each time you both (you realize you too change) transform into different forms. Robotic, Young children, you even switch genders at one point. Then, to your relief, the train settles on human again, before coming to a stop. The two of you exit the train, to see where you landed. You then notice that you are nowhere! The train had stopped in an empty black void. It would seem there will be no leaving this train anytime soon.
