23 Life Of A Forest Dweller

My poison has actually stayed the same lvl because my current poison is too powerful for the current poisonous beasts to enhance. Though after asking the system how many levels there were it told me 5. And I'm at 2. This forest has really become my home away from home. Though I definitely miss the mansions meals and the training grounds were easier to handle. Here it's either kill or be killed.

After the first month of me living here I noticed something like boundaries had been set up. That cat I saw a while back sticks to one side of the forest. I don't know what rules over here. But I know it has that cat scared enough to stay away. I spend most of my days gliding. I haven't really had the need to fly. Gliding has gotten me almost anywhere I need to. Little birds are the easiest thing to catch around here. They are white things. Pure white without any coloring besides their beaks. I haven't seen where they're coming from though. They just fly around everywhere like they own the place. I actually had a few bigger ones divebomb me once. Needless to say I ates dem.

After eating sufficient beasts to sustain me for the day I walked the rest of the way home. I had build a hollow under a large tree. It looks like an oak with large leaves. The only difference is that this thing started getting fruit on it not long after I moved in. Probably because anything I can't eat I turn to ashes and bury in its roots. The fruit it has look like pears that are a deep red with purple stars speckled on them. They taste a little different kinda like a mix of pineapples and limes. Apparently they're called Tree Guardian Fruits. They enhance plant monster attributes. But if anything else eats them it just acts as nourishment. I didn't even get a skill out of it. Though they still taste good.

I dug the hollow out deep beneath the tree. It was a good 6 feet deep. When you enter the roots are here and there comfortably with the biggest root acting like a center column. The room is 7 feet wide in a circle with stones Ive embedded in the walls. I actually gained the t.i.tle architect from building this place. It enhances building and destrution capacity. At least on buildings. Theres a watering hole I dug. It acts similar to a well with how far down I am. It's not the best, but it's cozy all the same.

I laid down for small nap when I heard a squeak. My head snapped around to see a tiny mouse in the corner. It had a gold nose that had a glint like metal. It's body was coated in spikes. ( What are you?) I wondered. This thing looked like something that you could find in a toy store. The only difference is that this thing had a leaf on its noggin. A single leaf growing out. It hopped onto the edge of the water basin. Got a drink and scurried away.

( That is too cute to eat... ) was all I thought. And I'm not feminine in that thinking. I like cute things when they're cute. Else I would've eaten it. Most "cute" things out here try to kill you. I wandered a little after it. I was curious what this thing was doing all the way out here in my territory. I exited my hollow to find a group of five mice squeaking at each other. One of them noticed me. " Squeek!" It ran away So did the other four.

Feeling up for a bit of sport I hurtled after them. I was not quite about it. But I did manage to keep up. They were going toward the outer ridge of the forest toward the fields I saw in the distance. Right as we exited the forest I noticed 5 children standing there screaming. I screeched to a halt. The five mice hurtled toward the children only to climb up to their shoulders and sit. That's when it dawned on me. Those mice were familiars.

The children saw me and started running along the forest edge away from me. ( Well.... I guess I would too if I was them. ) I started to walk back toward my hollow dejected. ( I miss Sam.) I heard something on the breeze as it went past. A human scream. My attention snapped toward the direction and I booked it. I don't like screaming. It makes me want to make sure everything is alright. Call it anxiety. Call it what you want. I just want to make sure everything's ok.

I came out of the forest and was at the edge of the fields when I saw those kids from earlier running frantically. I didn't understand why until I saw it. A huge Thundercloud Grey eagle was cresting the hill they ran over. Its feathers crackled with electricity as it flew. I saw it reaching for the slowest kids; trying to catch them. Then something snapped. I ran toward it. Right past the kids. I only thought of one thing. ( This will not happen on my watch!)

Right as the eagle was about to grab a chubby boy with red hair I let loose a stream of fire at it. The Eagle recoiled, flapping madly to get out of the way. The flames missed. But it gave the chubby boy some time to run and hide.

The Eagle stayed in the sky staring at me with disdain. I growled emitting smoke from my jaws as I prepped some flames in my chest. ( You won't have them.) I thought angrily.
