《Diary of Erica Kron》Day 294
Advertisement
Shortly before writing this we received a short letter that read “Pearlhold is officially in our possession, we are coming home”. Hopefully, they will be home tomorrow morning. This is exciting news, obviously. It is a major accomplishment for Par, and I’m excited for him because of that. But honestly, I’m more excited that I get to see my girlfriend again for the first time in entirely too long.
Now for what happened during the day.
One of the Ents, a male, came to me this morning and said that he wants to be an artist. He was asking me to teach him how to properly manipulate Glovine, Singing Grass, and Astrie. He has the power to do it well, but not the skill. I spent a good chunk of the day teaching him the various little bits of knowledge he needs to properly use it, it took so long because it is mostly a ton of small things that need to be remembered.
Kaire and Lulem came to me around lunchtime to tell me about something. They told me about the system they have set up with their younger siblings. The two of them would educate them when they are first born in a similar manner to how I educated the two of them. After the basics are covered the newborn Ents are then supposed to think about what they want out of this life, once they have decided they will begin to be taught anything we can teach them about whatever that is. All the while they would be being taught everything they need to survive in the world.
After their education is complete they set out to travel the world to pursue their dreams. Once that dream is fulfilled then they are to return home and put their new skills to use.

I’m conflicted about this. On the one hand, it gives my children a chance to grow in an environment where they can reach their fullest potential, it gives them a chance to live out their dreams. On the other hand, it puts them at risk in ways that I can’t even imagine.
In reality, though that is mostly an excuse, unless they really mess up they aren’t going to be in that much danger, they are Ents after all. Ents are naturally gifted spellcasters, incredibly durable, able to quickly heal themselves, able to regenerate missing limbs, and a dozen other things that set them above the vast majority of other sentients. A dungeon born Ent even managed to become a true immortal within months of me creating them, months. To be fair the dungeon almost definitely had a way to accelerate the growth of that Ent, but my point still stands. How I managed to pull off making the Ents I have no idea, Examining them now I see parts that I don’t remember building, parts I remember building completely differently, and at least one part that has no discernable purpose. It’s almost like I was possessed when creating them, like some kind of enlightenment or something. I’m not sure I could pull off a similar feat if I tried today.
Anyway, my two oldest children asked me to make them some more younger siblings. Actually, they asked me to make a couple Ents every week, around three or four. That shouldn’t be an issue, it’s not so many that it will leave me feeling weak, and it isn’t like making an Ent take a lot of time, just a lot of mana. Though the two of them are more than willing to provide me all the mana I need for that, and they are more than capable of that.
Anyway, Good Night Diary

The Great Erectus and Faun
The Great Erectus, otherwise known as "The Big Guy" is NOT a god. Don't call him that. It will tick him off. He and his newfound apprentice/sidekick the definitely not a creation goddess Faun have a little problem. The Big Guy's universe is blowing up. Faun might have had something to do with that. (She feels awful about it BTW) They must rush about the unraveling universe saving (or judging) worlds as the end of all things is bearing down upon them at the speed of light, so they have a bit of time but really can't mess about. Along the way they will encounter Lovecraftian horrors, divine ex-girlfriends, surly AI's and a host of other hassles. Enjoy such delights as the complete destruction of the universe, a children's "Christmas pageant" except where "the greatest story ever told" involves an eldritch horror from another universe, and an innocent misunderstanding concerning the exact definition of a "red dwarf". Existential dread! Lovecraftian comedy! It's as much madness as can be shoved into a single work and still remotely make sense! If you enjoy completely off the hook lunacy, this one is for you!
