*chirp,chirp*
light shines through the gaps in the forest, bringing light on green land with trees as far as the eye see, the beast-men race are responsible for this, as they expand in territory trees grow on their concurred lands, not just to show intruders that they are on the beast-men lands, but it also provides them a massive advantage in battle.
"it is said that the queen of the beast-men possesses a gift to plant trees" Dona mumbled as she examine a tree with her left hand under her chin looking at the tree with curiosity written on her face.
"a weak gift if you ask me" mion replied, at this moment he was picking up random things that he found on the forest floor.
*boom* a tree trunk the length of seven feet was thrown ten-meters away by mion, It shattered from the impact of hitting something in the distance.
"ahh, this place sucks!, thier ain't nothing here to strengthen my body" mion said looking annoyed.
"can you stop making so much noise, last time I checked beastmen dont appreciate intruders" dona said as she looked towards mion unable to understand what he was doing.
the sound of the tree trunk shattering woke up nic,he was still in his pitiful state but was feeling better as the injuries that didn't heal for the time he was unconscious started to heal.
his hypothesis was that by using fairies peak, his spiritual strength had been drained which made him unconscious. this explains why fairies only survive five years in this state, as thier bodies use up the spiritual strength they stored for their whole lives unable to regain it, they die when all have been used.
but nic was different, he was able to use his gift to go in and out of this state without the worry of death, but using up his spiritual strength force his body to put its entire focus on regaining it, which leaves him wounded until this point.
*growwwl!* mion stomach can be heard as a wild beast in the midst of the forest.
"hey nic, what's in this bag?" mion asked, he wanted to ask this question as soon as nic woke yesterday, but it would be rude to do so, so he waited until now to ask.
"huh, my bag" nic looked over to see his large bag with two long wrapped, swords protruding out of it.
"it holds all that's left of my mother" he said while turning his head away from mion and into the dense forest.
*growwwl!* mion was hoping that food was in the bag, since he went through the trouble of bringing it from under the bridge he was hoping that food was inside.
"if your hungry go find your own food" dona said as she knelt down beside a tree picking mushrooms for nic.
"cant you share alittle" mion asked, he didn't dare to pick mushrooms to eat, during the time he was with dona he tried doing so and ended up with an upset stomach.
"thier are plenty of wild beast in this forest, I heard that beastmen are forced to live on thier own at just four years of age...." dona started to preach to mion's ears, unable to take it he headed into the depths of the forest.
