Day 29

This morning I had something Par made for breakfast. It was a flat piece of sweetbread cooked on a pan over the fire, pancakes he called it. It was served with a syrup he made with sugar Tiddol and the others left. I made a bit of a mess eating it, but it was really good.

Par disappeared after breakfast for a while. I couldn’t find him until several minutes before I am writing this. He found the home of the goblins that attacked us last night, he intends to ‘get rid of the pests’ tomorrow. I could probably convince him otherwise, but I'm not sure I should.

Around noon the birds came out and danced and sang. It was pleasant to enjoy while I fed the trees my mana. I am steadily moving my glade closer and closer to a rock face, i figure it would be something good to have at my back, at least for a little while.

Overall it was a slow day. I like slow days, everything is calm, and I can focus on the development of my home. I hope to have more days like these in the future.

Day 30

This morning Par left, before I could try to convince him not to he was already gone. I hope he doesn’t get himself killed by attacking those goblins.

There wasn’t much I could do today, Tiddol and her party won’t be back for two more days, Par is gone, even the birds were holed up today. It is the first time I have been truly alone in almost a month.

I decided to read today, nothing in particular just the first book I picked up. It turned out to be a book about the basics of cooking, unfortunately, I had no ingredients to practice with and I refuse to leave my glade to forage. It was enlightening, though not as interesting as I had hoped.

Other than reading, I spent my time feeding my trees mana, growing new trees and making them stronger. I have noticed a definite increase in the amount they are able to feed me as they are growing more plentiful and stronger. It’s pleasant, noticing those small changes.

Day 31

Par didn't return today. I'm worried he got himself captured, or killed. I would track him down myself, but I can't leave the glade. I don't know why, I just can't.

The berries started to ripen up today, so I ate well. I found myself wondering What Par could make with them, I bet it would be delicious. I hope he returns soon, I miss the ugly little guy. Hopefully, Tiddol will be back soon as well, I'm getting lonely.

For the most part, I just fed the trees today. I feel like I'm more attuned to them somehow, like I can communicate with them on a very simple level. They seem, appreciative, for lack of a better word, of me somehow. Almost thankful but not quite.

I'm going to bed early today, I feel tired somehow, not physically but mentally and emotionally. I hope Par is alright.
