Skye pulled a strip of leather out of his pocket, "Use this!" he said handing it to her before breaking into a run and leaping to the next rooftop.

Megan got the strip from Skye and slowed down a bit to concentrate. She pulled her mass of hair back and tied the strip before she got too far behind the two of them. When she got to where Skye jumped, she jumped up, barely catching the edge of the rooftop. That gave me a scare…
Rio followed then leaned down to help Skye to pull Megan up. "You need to get a good running start to make it Megan" said Skye with a smile as he pulled her up.
(Shooka)
"I figured…" Megan grunted as she was pulled to her feet. She let out a breath and brushed the loose hair strands from her face. "How much of this rooftop running shenanigans gonna last? I don't have an infinite amount of energy…." This is gonna wear me out….
(What?)
"Awhile," said Skye skidding to a stop after three more jumps, "We have to backtrack all the way back to where we woke up in this world. and the location happens to be halfway across town."
"Halfway across town?!" said Rio, "Skye I can't run that far! And If I can't then she definitely can't."
"You can make it" said Skye patting him on the shoulder, "But you do have a point…." he turned to Megan. "Sorry about that, I'm used to working with people that have more stamina than I do, and not full humans…"
"It's fine… But…. We should stop every once in a while just to catch my breath…" Megan smiled awkwardly. "Honestly, it would've been better to put a program chip in him so he can do all the walking, but I can do all the talking…." But I can't just use him like that… He's a human being just like everyone else…
(Robotic discrimination and slavery….?)
"Stopping will take to much time…" said Skye, "Listen if you promise not to freak out I have a different method…" he pulled out a silver Amulet embedded with a violet gem that had various hues of blue, lavender, and sliver swirling inside of it.
"Alright… I promise I won't… I'd probably be more in awe than freaking out…." Megan swept her hair back behind her shoulder. "Whatever it is you're gonna do… It better save me a lot of time and energy…" Not trying to be selfish… But that would be nice considering I have the least amount of stamina…
"Skye nodded then stepped back, grasping the amulet a slight shimmer came over him and in less than an instant a huge wolf stood in Skye's place. "We'll save a lot of time if you ride" said Skye as he padded over to her,
"Oh woah…. Alright then…." Megan heaved herself up and over on Skye's shoulders with the help of the roof's ridge. "Not sure how much attention a giant wolf running on top of roofs can attract…"
"It'll be fine" said Skye "now hold on tight!" he began to pad off down the roof, increasing to a lope before jumping the gap, and slowly increasing pace as Rio lagged behind.
Megan braced herself against Skye, clutching at his fur. She had nearly no other way. But when she glanced back, past her flapping hair, she saw Rio was nowhere in sight.
"Where on earth did Rio go???"
"he'll catch up" said Skye laughing as he ran almost silently over the rooftops, being sure to keep away from the edge where the people on the street could see him. "although I am surprised you're not asking me a ton of questions right now."
"Well, you're magic. What more is there to be asked about?" Megan held on tighter.
"Not all magic beings can spontainously shift into another form, and not all of them can stay up for three days straight with no sleep either" he said jumping another rooftop.
"Now that you tell me that…. How come?" Megan could barely hear him, and she didn't really want to yell out, either. Now I have questions, since you said not everyone does that…
"Technically I'm not human," said Skye, "also I'm a telepath" they started to head into some rougher oarts of town, places that looked both shady and dangerous, not to mention run down.
Megan was a little weirded out when she heard a voice that wasn't her thinking to herself. That's a bit crazy… But that doesn't explain how you can instantaneously shift like that…
She got a bit worried when they ran into the shabby side of the city. "And you're sure this is the right way?"
"Yes, Its the right place," said Skye, "also I should correct myself, it's not that I'm not human. It's the fact that I'm only half human that allows me to shift like this,"
Interesting…. She thought.
A bit later, Megan's core and arms began to get sore from tensing every time Skye landed from jumping and from keeping herself balanced on his back. "Not trying to be rude, but I'm getting a bit sore… Can we try to hurry this up?…."
Skye responded by slowing as he came up to the edge of the rooftop they were currently on. "Actually we're here now" he said as he hopped down to a dumpster, and landed in the alleyway.
A few moments later a blue flash appeared and an exhausted Rio landed on the dumpster. "You could've waited" he said grumpily between huffs.
Megan shrugged. "Oh well. We're here now…" She got off the wolf's back and stretched, bending and arching her back to loosen some tight spots. Man… I'm just getting older…
Skye shifted, Standing up in human form once more, "Alright, Now to investigate that hideout" said Skye leading the way to a door with a keypad. "This is the way we got out the first time," said Skye
