Thinking about everything, this creature helped me because I suppose I am of its same species, whatever we are, and the village we came from was destroyed by what I think were humans, but that emphasizes to me that I am not on Earth; creatures like us didn''t exist, at least only in tales of fantasy worlds. About why I''m not sure if they were humans, it''s because, remembering, it was a giant! Possibly it didn''t even reach its knee, although that might be explained because I''m a newborn.


    Anyway, without realizing it because I was lost in thought, I bumped into the creature''s back, which turned around and spoke to me again. He points to the ground and the end of the crack that leads to another cave. I suppose we will have to go down, but instead, he sits down and keeps making the same sounds. The only thing I suppose is that for now we will rest here.


    When I sit down, the first thing that bothers me is that line. What the heck! I can''t lean against the wall because it gets in the way. Damn! I scream, but just like before, only a grunt comes out. I try to make myself comfortable as best as I can. When I look back at the creature, I see that it is watching me. It''s difficult to understand its expressions; it''s the face of a lizard and, unlike a human, I think it''s not very expressive and, if it is, I can''t distinguish or comprehend it. How to know if a lizard is confused, happy, or sad? Maybe if I get a mirror and express those emotions myself, I can see something and learn to recognize reptilian emotions. What madness I find myself in! However, the first thing is to try to understand this creature and communicate, since for now it has helped me, but if it decides to abandon me, I don''t know what I would do.

    We just sat there looking at each other without saying anything; this is awkward. What do I do? My whole-body hurts; I guess the adrenaline shot is processing everything that happened to us and now my tail tip hurts, which, I reiterate, feels strange. But maybe I can try to communicate before that. I know he is intelligent, he has what I believe is a language, I know he knows that I am also intelligent, since I have been able to follow his instructions despite not understanding those sounds, and I think he suspects that I don''t know how to speak since I have never addressed him or responded, but for him, will that be normal?


    I try to pronounce the vowels and some come out, more or less, and others not even close. I try to pronounce a word, but I am far from being able to speak like I did as a human. I don''t think it''s impossible, but it will require practice, and even if I succeed, I don''t think this creature will speak my previous language; I don''t think the humans we saw will either, as the language they spoke, from what little I managed to hear, didn''t sound like any language I remember, so for now, this won''t be a solution to our communication problem.
