Tre stepped into the portal, only with an about ten centimeter long and three centimeter dark brown staff in his left hand. The portal cannot transport inanimate objects without errors, so the staff is the only possession he could take with him on his return to Earth. Tre took a last breath, then the portal began to radiate, and an intense light dazzled dazzling him, and then blackness...<br/><br/>Tre opened his eyes, but he couldn't see anything in the dim light. He scrabbled about, and it seemed he is surrounded by some kind of plant, numerous vines running along upwards. After his eyes accustomed to the darkness he saw that indeed he was trapped inside the vines of some plant. He tried to parted the vines at a random location, and was surprised how easy they are to move. After a short time he digged himself out completely, and after his eyes adjusted to the bright daylight on the outside he looked around. As the looked around he saw that he was about ten meter above the ground, and directly in front of him stood a building overgrown by the same kind of plant he was previously trapped in, and a look to the right and left gave a similar view. "Is this really Earth? What has happened in the time I was gone?" wondered Tre.<br/><br/>Tre remembered his staff, he concentrated to feel the auras of animate objects around him, and sensed a very weak demonic life force, far too weak be be an actual living demon; that must be his staff. He concentrated on the life force more and sensed that it was less than one meter above him, close at the outside of this brush. Tre pulled at the vines, and although they can be moved very easily to the sides them seemed to be very sturdy in an horizontal direction. After having maked sure the vines were able to bear his weight he climbed up to the point where the sensed his staff. He climbed around the vines and pushed the vines apart, and a short while after he caught sight of his staff, it was about half a meter inside the vines. He fished it out, and to make sure it was his staff and it was still fully operational he imbued it with his life force and gave the command to extend. Utterly quiet, in the blink of an eye the staff lengthen to about two meter. "Good, at least this works as intended".<br/><br/>Tre climbed to the ground, a cold wind let him shiver and reminded him of his lack of clothes. As a temporary solution he conjured a stasis field around him to prevent the air around his body to be blown away, creating a damp course. Still, he wouldn't be able to keep up this shield indefinitely, not later than he has to go to sleep the shield would perish, and Tre most likely freeze to death. Tre wandered around the streets, searching for a fashion store...
