As Sierra began to lose a bit of her balance, she extended her arms wide, trying to keep herself from falling. It was way too early on in the game to fall flat on her face and have to start over. She eyed the lily pads before her, mentally assessing them and determining which one she'd like to hop onto next.

Finally, she pushed herself off the sixth lily pad and jumped toward number ten. For some reason, she'd built herself up to believe it would either sink or float fast away from the sudden pressure she'd put on it. To her surprise, though, it stayed right in place, so she quickly assessed the lily pads now ahead of her. Which one now? Hmm? Hmm?

Going by her instinct alone, she jumped forward again, this time moving on to number fifteen.
