Today I started practicing manipulation plants with Solar Energy. I know a lot about plants and I am naturally talented at using Solar Energy, so I am making some pretty good progress. I mostly worked on making a solar energy version of Astrie simply because it is the most versatile plant I have. Ultimately I want to have a Solar Energy version of every plant in my arsenal. At this point I can only barely see the other end of my grove when I stand at the tops of the trees on one edge. It will be a month or less before I grow large enough to become a forest. It’s one major milestone that I have been working towards from the beginning. Azrezel has made more progress with forming his undead into a kind of hive mind. He has to actively support it but he has managed to connect a total of five of them together at once. Ideal he will be able to connect them all simultaneously with the undead sustaining it and himself as the will of the hive mind. It will likely be a while before he gets there at this rate, but if he manages to make a major breakthrough then who knows how long it will take. Maybe I could help him with that? How would a connection made with Solar Energy Lace be different than one made with mana? I have no idea but it might be worth trying. It might take me a little bit before I get to that point though. I am getting more and more excited for my birthday every passing day. I’m turning seventeen in only six more days, less than a week. And Tiddol’s second birthday that I will be celebrating with her is the day afterwards, she’s turning twenty. Oh wow, I’ve known Tiddol for more than a year now, longer than I have known anyone alive other than my dad and I thought he was dead for almost all of that. It’s been hard to hang out with her recently, what with her taking care of her human son, but he is getting more independent every day so maybe that will change soon. Other than that I mostly spent my downtime listening to stories from my dad. I know I have said it before but he is an amazing story teller. Anyway, Good Night Diary.
