Chapter 4 - Just What is Going on in This Forest

After a few years it appears this forest is growing quite substantially. Blu has already grown far past her normal size of a half foot and has now reached my waist and has even gained some webbed feet for swimming too. She's even faster then our nameless one is at swimming now and regularly catches fish and bottom feeding creatures all on her own .

"I wonder how she's adapting so fast? It appears like this whole world grows at a substantial rate except for me that is. It appears I haven't aged a day since I first arrived on this planet. I've got the same dirty blonde hair and tanned skin as when I first saw myself in my reflection in the water. Maybe I just age slower then normal? It seems people still haven't developed yet either and I'm growing quite bored even with my bestfriend Blu around."

Little did our nameless one know when he journeyed across the barren wasteland while searching for the forest and even the uncrossable abyss have advanced quite fast in terms of progress in the areas he crossed. There are lush greenery and even the desolate abyss has Vines and some greenery growing on it now along with some small creatures appearing here and there. It seems our nameless ones evolutionary growth stems from being around him and while these areas haven't grown as fast as the forest and Blu have they seem to have benefitted from his travels.

While no people have quite made it to scene yet animals of all kinds have begun to come up in the forest and have even started expanding into the surrounding areas. Red furred monkey like creatures, birds of all colors and four legged creatures are roaming all over and throughout the forest. It has been 10 years since our nameless one has been "born" and he discovered that by now the forest was full of life and he enjoyed seeing so many creatures on a regular basis. But odd things still happened. It didn't seem possible for things to advance this fast. It was like witnessing adaption and evolution first hand and due to the knowledge he had; he didn't believe this was how it was supposed to work.

"This forest must be a special place and I'm just lucky enough to witness these miracles huh Blu. Maybe one day the Red furred monkeys and even you will be able to speak and be a humanoid kind of like me. That would be nice to have someone to talk with and visit on a regular basis."

Blu just purred and rubbed up against our nameless ones leg like she did before jumping into the river to go do more fishing. He decided it wasn't worth worrying about and thought he would see it eventually if it was meant to be. By this timeframe he had a nice house built and it was quite a beautiful wooden cabin and even had some quaint furniture in it. He didn't see a need to wear clothes as he was the only human alive but due to never knowing when things would change he had a few sets made and would occasionally wear them when out searching the forest for signs of new life or new creatures.

He just knew that one day he wouldn't be the only human alive anymore and would have companions to call his own. He really looked forward to that day when he could obtain a name as well, but for now he would patiently wait while exploring this fast and ever growing forest.
