I gotta do something... I mean these guys look up to me as some kind of god... And I am a guardian tree... wait a second... Alex... Why did you omit the word tree... What's my species now? I can't just be a guardian... What even kinda plant is that? Which definition of the word? Is it saying that the roots are my children now? I assume not... Well for now I guess I shouldn't kill the rats who seem to worship me. I mean I am a guardian... So at the very least I should watch over them for now and wait to see if they have anything they can teach me about this world... After all they are quite the smart rats...
As I watch over the rats I watch there daily habits they all consume my fruit regularly which is a helpful thing for me... Regeneration levels and fruit making seem to rise as they eat... Which one of is super helpful... I don't know about the fruit making thing... somewhat worthless but that's only if I actually never have someone to feed. If it's just for me I can't do anything with it unless I like try to sell them. But I'd need to be able to contact a human world or at least some sort of actual civilization which would require the ability to speak... Which I don't have... I also have very little use for any form of currency as of now... I don't need food if I did... fruit... I don't need sleep... Do I even age? I know Alex called me young before... But I think that was more about my level then my actual physical age... Cause then... What am I under a year old? Gotta be young still unless the life span is super short... I mean it's not like I've ever once seen the sun or sky, let alone a actual calendar. So I'd have to go based solely on guesses on how much time has actually passed. However my perception of time is super slow unlike all the other things... So it's not that strange to think that time appears to pass extremely slowly for me... I guess I could also be a bit like a cat... Ha... Tree cat... Getting stuck up myself... as I thought this... I realize I'm literally sitting in a tower made of my own body inside of a giant ball made of my own body so I guess it's not even remotely an outlandish thought to be a tree cat hybrid...
Speaking of my roots they've begun to do there own thing again. I mean the ones I used to build the ball and tower are staying put but a ton of new roots are growing around them and outwards. Oh yeah... Didn't Alex say I was dehydrated... The cave I was previously in was above a water source wasn't it? What did these rats drink before I came? I mean now they seem to be fine on just my fruit... they appear to have a lot of fluids in them after all... Are they dehydrating me? Hmm No... I don't think that has anything to do with it... After all I have a huge body and haven't done anything with a fluid except for blood in awhile... My roots used to be in water but I moved away and while there is mud nearby it's not in contact with a very large water source seems to just be a collection of rain water that flooded down into the cave in the past... So I doubt that'd be able to maintain me for long... Do my roots hold tradition standards or am I just feeding my main body? I can never quite understand the common sense of this world so wouldn't surprise me if it was the second. The roots could be some kind of magical creation... Definitely impossible that they'd be part of me but independent of my body while feeding without being in contact with me or bringing me the food... Maybe all these issues are the reason I am no longer a tree... Wait... but I was a tree back when I got independent roots... Eh no sense in just sitting around here I guess. I need to raise my level and find water. My roots are probably gonna find water on there own at some point... So level... I need to find things to kill. Rats are out... I mean I could probably take down one or two every now and then because they worship me and all... But I wanna protect them as my name implies... So gonna avoid that for now... I should find some sort of predators. I dislodge one of my longest roots from the tower as it was only pulled into it cause it was still connected to my body and swap my vision to it... I then spend like an hour squirming around trying to figure out how the snakes do it... Wow that's difficult to do... granted I'm also doing it on a pretty large scale and it's only a very small part of my body so maybe it'd be easier as a garden snake or something...
I should really stop over thinking stuff... Onward to the adventure of RootSnake... I squirm through the vine wall opening it as I pass. Then I venture out in search of things to kill. I first travel back to my old home and yank off a piece of RootSnake in hopes it'd grow on it's own... It did... What kind of plant am I!!! Ignoring the impossible creature that is me for a little while I venture forth down the path of the humans I saw before. It seems they are rather bad when it comes to littering... Lucky me a clear path to follow... I plant roots along the way by ripping out parts of RootSnake.
