Chereads / The Time Traveler with Rules / Chapter 5 - The Beast

Chapter 5 - The Beast

After thinking about seeing other humans one day our nameless one decided to do some routine recon of the forest and to see if he could find any new life.

"Common Blu let's go exploring some. We can use your nose to look for some tasty treats" He said.

It should be noted that while our nameless one does not require food or water he still enjoys the act of finding and eating delicious foods.

Blu simply nodded her head and followed as she was getting smarter and smarter as the days progressed. She had the base intelligence of an older toddler at this point in time. She hurried forth to scavenge and locate some new foods and favorite old ones mostly consisting of sweet herbs and juicy fruits falling from the trees. Both her and our nameless one we're omnivores and enjoyed the variety of tasteful foods this forest had to give.

"Hey Blu I've named you but we haven't ever named the forest yet. I'm thinking as it keeps growing and getting bigger and giving new life to all sorts of things we should name it as well. Maybe when more humans start to appear we can go exploring with them and visit other areas of the world and maybe find even more and new life. What do you think about calling it The Forest of time. I kind of like that.

Blu! is that a yellow drop fruit! Let's go get it before those Red furred monkeys grab it again! Last time they took them all and we didn't get to have any of it's sour and sweet deliciousness. I was mad for a whole week at those damnable monkeys. I just know they were laughing at me from the forest."

As our nameless one and Blu went forward to grab the yellow drop fruit sure enough an animal came and grabbed it. But it was not a red furred monkey. No this was a hand, but not any hand. It was twice the size of our nameless ones hand and attached to this hand was the body of a black and purple furred creature. It stood nearly three meters tall and roared at our nameless one and Blu when it saw them. Promptly dropping the fruit into it's large gaping maw.

"Hey that was ours! You YOU YOU! Wait, Blu have you seen this thing before?" Just as he said this he realizes Blu was trembling all over in tremidition and fear she was even sweating heavily and emitting a faint but discernable wimper at this new beast. He had never seen Blu look like this before but just as he took his eyes off the beast and looked at Blu he felt a giant hand slap towards his chest as well

CRACK!

He flew back two meters from the slap and crashed into the tree behind him breaking it and collapsing on the ground. Blu roared seeing her best friend getting struck and bit down and latched onto the creatures hand that slapped her best friend. She was going to take vengeance for the her friends injury and as she bit down as hard as she could she heard the new creature roar in discomfort and pain. Right after though the creature quickly regained thought and started to pummel Blu as she wouldn't let go.

"NOOOOO" our nameless one screams and rushes to help Blu. He leaps towards this black and purple furred Ape like creature angry and full of hate. He always carries an axe with him as it's a useful tool and weapon in the forest and he quickly swings it down on the apes shoulder.

"Thwack! Crack!" the sounds of battle ricocheted throughout the forest before finally the creature ran off missing a shoulder and left a beaten and battered Blu with our nameless one. She was breathing but just barely. He quickly tended to her wounds while weeping, "Blu Blu you can't leave me Blu. You're my best friend and all I've got here. Blu I'll make sure I take better care of you. Why Blu why didn't you run it was too strong to take on by yourself" he cried.

He gently picked Blu up and carried her back to the camp he had. Blu was severely injured with broken ribs and a fractured eye socket. He did what first aid he could and kept her in his home and refused to let her do anything for weeks other then eat and drink. She slowly healed but she lost an eye from the injuries and could no longer move quite as fast as before. His best friend was no longer able to go out on foraging explorations with him and it showed as she was depressed but still happy to have her best friend with her too.

"Don't worry Blu you'll be back up to shape to go out with me soon girl, you just need to heal a little more he said as he hoped to cheer her up."
