Chapter 4 - Ch 4 - Exploring

~rumble~

I suppose that's my queue to go get some apples...

God I need to go look for food other than apples

===== A small while later =====

God those apples are getting even blander than normal. That's it I'm going exploring. But how will I? I mean sure I have nothing really stopping me but I only have I would say about half the day left to travel what a couple miles to the forest.

Oh wait there was that river I suppose I could always follow that a bit see where it takes me. Yup it's decided I'm going.

---- cut to 3 hours of walking in ----

As I walked down the river my legs felt like they where gonna give out I brought a few apples for food and I was following a stream so water was no problem but I felt like I was going to collapse but there's not much around me.

'maybe I should take a break'

'no let's at least get around this corner maybe there is a Bush or a den or something'

I decided to tretch on to the tree then head back and so I did but what I found was not what I expected at all.

"A TREE!!!" The sudden noise shocked me

I felt shocked hearing the noise... It was my own voice. I had only just realised ever since I came to where ever this is I never spoke, I guess I was never one to talk to myself but I suppose it's not that bad of a thing

'Guess I'll just have to deal with it'

Well anyway yes I found a tree and there's better news

'I spy with my little eyes a birds nest'

No not to eat the eggs you monsters I wanted to finally test out animal friendship.

I carefully approached, tiptoeing as to not scare whatever may be in the nest.

Then once I was close enough I reached up and slowly began lowering the nest off the branch.

There seemed to be a little movement in the nest.

I panicked thinking there was a live creature inside and hurried to lower it then peeked in to see what was in there.

It was just some eggs. BUT THERE SHAKING.

I panicked and got ready to attempt to use animal friendship when a little chick popped out.

Of course it's just a chick it's barely hatched from an egg what was I thinking.

Well that was my initial thoughts until I saw the back half.

It had a lion cubs legs what on earth is this thing?

It quickly jumped up at my head from the nest and surprisingly made it.

I was about to start panicking when suddenly I saw a popup appeared.

---- Friendly creature nearby ----

---- Using animal friendship will have a 100% success rate ----

Well at least something is giving me explanations well I suppose even if it is whatever it is it has the front half of a bird it must see me as its parent.

Well at least now I don't have to worry but what am I gonna do with u little guy?

It was naively playing with my hair messing up all that hard work but can't deny it was cute.

Well for now I gave it an apple after all it must be hungry and yes I broke it into pieces you would be surprised what a few extra points in str can do.

Wait a minute what did that second alert say?

---- Using animal friendship will have a 100% success rate ----

O: Does that mean, oh finally I can test it.

I decided to hold put the little guy back in his nest while I did it and held it in front of me.

It just looked at me filled with curiosity but it didn't move.

I tried to do the same thing I normally do focus on it and then suddenly I saw an empty circle above the little guy.

So I focused on the circled and I felt a strange tingling move from my stomach to the arm touching the nest.

which is when I noticed there was another egg and what do u know it hatched as the skill was activated and I got the same 2 messages.

Then the tingling reached the nest and the whole of it began to glow a bright silver.

Then as the light faded I felt 2 little fur balls bump into me as I barely caught them in my arms.

"phew safe"
