It's been five years now, I'm about 6 years old, the age when most children normally would be starting school. I'm finally allowed to do something more then sit at home all day! I can go out as far as I like!!! Of course I have to have one of my parents with me... B-but!!! That's besides the point! I can leave this stuffy cave!!!
Mom has been teaching me about herbs and what's okay to eat in this forest. I have noticed it's very similar to where I use to live, when it comes to food and medicine. The only difference is the names and apparently, all of them have some sort of magical aura... That's what mom said about it. I still don't get it that much but apparently, everything has some sort of magic and life force that gives it power. Even inanimate objecs can have a magical force. They just don't posses life force, making it impossible for them to become stronger without any outside force. I find this topic extremely interesting and I'm always pestering my mom about it!!!
I'm constantly told by both my parents to never leave the cave without them. I don't like that rule because knowledge keeps you alive. But... I have also learnt from my last life that too much knowledge can kill you... I can't stay ignorant forever though...
I decied to leave the cave tonight! I had gathered enough information, about the basics of the forest, (from my mom) that I shouldn't die. I was ready and with the skills, I had accquired, from my last life escaping for a night should be easy! So I waited, for the cover of darkness, when I could barely hear my parents steady breathing, to leave!!!
The cave had much more then when we first moved here. My dad had been making a stockpile outside and my mom had created alot of dried meat for us to survive on. We had a basic kitchen now that took up a corner of the cave. Within very close proximity, was a table and chairs; made with great effort and care. There was beds for me and my parents in another corner. Of course my parents shared a bed but I was placed very close to them for two reasons.
The first is obvious to keep an eye on me, so I don't do anything crazy. To bad my parents didn't know of my previous life... They would realize that such a simple way of watching me wasn't enough. The second reason was Because of space. This was a open room that was still quite limited. The room could fit alot, but a home of three individual needed alot of space. So to have the best management of space my bed was near my parent's. I know this was also an obvious reason as well... B-but... I never claimed to be teaching rocket science here!!! I-it's not like I told you this was complicated!!! B-Baka!!!
Anyway~ jokes aside! Furniture over the years has made this room feel cramp. This situation pushed me and my parents beds closer and closer. I had to make 100% sure they were asleep before I proceeded so I listen closely. I listened for every vital I could and focused on everything. The room was dark and I knew I wouldn't be able to see anything. Not in a cave with no windows and only one exit. I knew before the night came I would need to have memorized the layout of the room in detail! I was ready I had determined for sure my parents were asleep... All that was left was to trust everything I had prepared, everything I had learnt from my last life, and myself... I was ready! With my preparation I avoided every obstacle, that was barley visible with silence and stealth, and left the cave... I saw the world at night for the first time... and the sky... It was beautiful beyond belief...
