Day 6

Hello, today's weather has been perfect, nice and sunny with a light drizzle of rain keeping everything cool, if it wasn't for this new plant I would have slept all day. as for said plant, I have no idea what it is. It seems to be a type of shrub, and it's absorbing ambient mana faster than any other plants I have, but beyond that, I have no idea. As for the gnome, they left saying they would probably be back in a couple days. hopefully, they bring back something interesting again, I'm looking forward to it.

Day 7

Some beasts appeared today, squirrels I believe they are called. They didn’t stay long, just looked around, when they saw me they froze, before running away. I was a little disappointed, they were kind of cute, I would have liked it if they had stuck around. The rain from yesterday left the ground all muddy today, but it made the flowers smell even better than before, at least for a little while. Speaking of flowers, the shrub has started to grow some, seems like it will bear fruit within the next couple days. I spent the majority of the day lounging around, smelling the flowers, and just generally relaxing, it was a good day.

Day 8

I woke up today to a sweet smell, a short investigation led to the shrub, which was now completely covered in small flowers, I can barely see the green of the leaves beneath the flowers, which worries me for a moment, until I feel the shrub still absorbing plenty of mana.

I’m a little worried the scent will draw in a creature I’m not able to deal with, but there is nothing I can do about that short of destroying the shrub, and that would be too much of a waste. Towards the end of the day, I saw some of the flowers begin to turn into unripe fruits.

Day 9

About a quarter of the fruits are ripe today, they are a kind of berry, small and yellow, about ten of them fit in my palm. I ate one, and then another, and then another, before I knew it I had eaten at least twenty five berries. They taste great and are pleasantly invigorating, likely due to the high concentration of mana in them, unfortunately, this causes me to feel full a lot faster than I normally would, preventing me from eating more. I take care to plant the seeds, although I can’t nurture them quite as much as their parent.

Today a pair of birds made a nest in one of my trees, they were about the size of my hand stretched out, and a dull brown colour, but they had beautiful voices. I fell asleep listening to them around midday. Hopefully, in a couple months there will be chicks.

Day 10

Today a monster showed up, a goblin. He, and it definitely was a he, was sopping wet, likely fell into a river or a small pond near by. The only things the goblin had was a loincloth, a small sack on his back, and an obviously well-used club. The little guy was ugly too, a smashed in face with a long wide nose, ears that would be in a point if they weren't so badly shredded, scars all over his body, sickly green skin, and a hollowed out stomach. He had obviously seen better days, though probably never seen a mirror. When he saw me he tried to attack me, only to fall over, his stomach growling audibly. He looked over at the berries, and then at me, with puppy dog eyes, which did little to help his ugly mug. Still, goblins can be useful if you can get them to work for you, so I feed him, and as soon as he able too he runs away.

I’m more than a little disappointed, but I’m sure he will probably be back, but for now, it’s getting late, and I want to sleep, so good night diary.
