《Diary of Erica Kron》Day 53
Advertisement
Tiddol, Mest, and Thes returned early this morning, along with a couple large muscular creatures who were carrying wood. They are going to build a house outside my grove so they don't have to sleep in a tent every night. They were done and on their way before lunch time.
It was around noon that the sprite was born. I was watching as it happened. It looked like the tree turned itself inside out a couple times before a sprite fell from the bark. She then wrapped herself around the tree and fell asleep.
Mest, who came running as soon as it started, told everyone to let her sleep. Apparently she needs to acclimate to being outside the tree and waking her now could seriously hurt her. He seems to know a lot on the subject so I'll trust his judgement.
I can't help but feel like I need to protect the sprite, though not like a mother, it's different, less intimate and not as powerful. At least compared to what I imagine motherly instincts are.
Overall today has been a happy day, my friends returned from the city, a sprite was born, and I got to see more creatures in one place than I thought possible. Maybe they weren't lying about the city.
One last thing before I go to sleep. The gifts they brought back. All three of them brought something. Thes brought a very pretty sword for Par, it practically oozed mana. I didn't even know metal could be magical, I thought only living things could be. Mest brought back a necklace, which also oozed mana, saying that it should protect me. How or why I don't know, I forgot to ask. Tiddol brought me something, this something is inside a puzzle box so i won't find out till i solve it, unfortunately I've never even heard of that before today so it will take a while.

Tiddol also got another gift, this one for Par. It was a necklace made of living flowers. After observing them for a while I realize that so long as they aren't crushed they will never die. It was a simple gift, one I could probably replicate with some practice. But it makes me curious, why? What's with her and Par? Why is she paying so much attention to him? I mean he is Pretty great, but still, I want to know.
Anyway, goodnight diary. (Nailed it this time!)

The Badger Dungeon
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Dungeons. Everyone's heard of them. Sprawling maze-like places where you can find special objects that can't be found anywhere else in the world, train to become a great warrior or wizard, and slay dozens of monsters. Drops! Loot! Glory! What more could you want? Dungeons are places of danger and adventure, full of thrills and maybe even romance, where people enter as your normal and everyday person but leave as a hero. Even a child knows what a dungeon is! A dungeon is controlled and ruled over by its Dungeon Core, a mana crystal that's gained sentience, and with it a mind just as twisted as the home that it makes for itself. Dungeon Cores all have very simple wants and needs: to expand and to devour, and to that end, they'll do absolutely everything and anything within their power. Everyone knows that. Sometimes, though? Sometimes the Dungeon Core doesn't know that. Sometimes they wake up all alone, confused and with no clue what they should do, and find themselves quickly becoming the home to a family of badgers and other creatures. The Dungeon Core can be left struggling to figure out their role in the world and how exactly they're supposed to achieve it. They're really doing their best, and you shouldn't judge them for it! The badger thing was a complete mistake but there's just no way they can turn back and fix it so they're just trying to make do, okay?! What would you do in their situation?! Cover art was made with pixel assets from Szadi art and 0x72.
