"But what if the wizard comes back first?"
"Just a little rest. I'm too dizzy to carry myself right now, let alone you."
"Okay," the stranger says. "Just don't rest too long. I was just passing through here on a business trip when the wizard zapped me in here. Some luck, huh? What about you?"
"To tell you the truth, I don't know. I was lying in an alley and suddenly I saw these bolts of lightning flashing, but before that I can't remember anything. I don't even remember my name."
A figure steps out from the shadows, and you realize it's the wizard! "I heard everything," he says calmly. He points to you and says, "Follow me. I have a room waiting, and ice to put on your head." You have no intention of following him, but two crows appear and pull you up by the shoulders with their beaks, carrying you in the air to your new room.
