Chapter 5 - Setting Out Finally

It took another day before I could finally walk around without falling, it was about noon when I got this skill down.

Soon after I was walking I decided to go see what was outside of this small cramped cave, as I was heading out my siblings decided to come with me, they should be just a curious as I am about what's outside.

It was still noon when we walked out of that cave. We where in a forest, it wasn't particularly thick with plant life, in fact it was quite spread out, but in made up for it in the vastness of it, seeming to stretch for miles, further than I could see. The trees themselves where tall, almost impossibly so, I could barely make out the leaves near the top of them. Despite this insane hight they where not that thick only being a few feet (about a meter) across, At least a what looks like a few feet, I'm basing that as if I where about 3 feet (about 0.91 meters) tall, I don't know how tall I really am.

As I was otherwise occupied with trees my siblings started to look around while sniffing. It was now that I realized that our sense of smell is much stronger, so strong that I felt I could move around this forest by just my nose alone. Smelling all of the things in the vast forest around me all at once was, honestly, nauseating.

While taking all of my new experiences in I noticed something, actually my nose nosticed it. Enticing and delicious, I could smell it very clearly, filling my nose, even if faint, the smell of meat.

All of us knew what to do. For me this feeling of knowing what to do wasn't forcing me on, it was more a suggestion my mind gave to me, this must be those Monster Instinct that I'm resistant to.

I decided not to leave them alone, totally not cause I was afraid of being alone. After we held a second to know where it was coming from we all set off at once running, yes running, it seems that Monster Instincts are more useful than I thought it would be.

We ran, and ran, it wasn't long before we found our noses desire. A boar.
