I look around to decide which way I should go to look for water. Yet all there is is trees and bushes.
I guess I'll just have to walk in a certain direction and hope for the best. Or I could listen to see if I hear a river? Stream?
I take a few minutes to see if I hear anything. I hear the tweets of a bird. Chips and squeaks that I think are squirrels, but I'm not too sure now due to the berries.
Then I hear a faint sound of water running to my left. YES! I now have water to drink!
I mean the berries did help my dry mouth a bit, but I definitely need water.
I grab a few more cyan berries before I walk to the faint sound of moving water. I realized then that I took all the cyan berries from the bush. Well they will grow back eventually.
Wait! What's the bush name so I can find more of these berries? I don't want to not find any more.
I look at the bush for a few seconds and identify tells me.
[Item identified - Multi berry bush - A bush with multiple types of berries on it]
… well I could have figured that one out.
Okay time to set off. I'm not stumbling as much as before. The berries must have desired some of my strength.
A few minutes go by and it feels like it is getting hotter in this forest. Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks, I am walking now.
Roughly a half hour later it is definitely getting hotter! I'm not going crazy.
I look up into the canopy of trees to see if I see where the sun is in the sky. I faintly see through the leaves of the tree that the suns are in the middle of the sky.
… "THERES 2 SUNS! I don't remember 2 suns." As soon as I said that I got a dull ache in my head. Right but wasn't there one sun before… but where am I?
My head aches more as more knowledge is given to me. Primoria? A few seconds go by before my head clears.
So this planet is Primoria, I don't remember anything about Primoria or where I lived before. But I have the feeling it wasn't this planet.
"Well I roughly know it is midday, so I have a couple of hours before it gets dark. I need a place to sleep and be safe."
I continue my walk, as I do. The light sound of water flowing down a hill comes into ear shot. I must be getting close.
As I get closer to the sound, I notice that the flora has changed. It's denser and more vibrant. A rainbow of colors, from flowers, bushes, even a tree or 2 being different. Even the creatures are different.
On the way to the flowing water, I saw some small furry creatures. Or at least that is what I think. Some are brown and green. But I couldn't make out what they were, I only saw the colors. But here, the creatures are red, blue, and yellow.
'Flap Flap Flap'
I whip my head around as I hear something take off. It's blue, possibly a blue colored bird.
I'll have to find out more about the creatures in the forest once I have shelter. I do know there is something big and scary.
I get a cold shiver just thinking of the roar I heard when I opened my eyes.
As remembering the roar from earlier, I cautiously approach the flowing water. Getting louder and louder as I get closer.
There's a clearing ahead that opens up. I walk through the clearing, momentarily blinded by the bright light of the sun.
I quickly cover my eyes with my hand till my eyes adjust. Once they do I see something unexpected.
The clearing is huge! In the center is a small creek flowing through. Going from left to right, when I stand and look.
There are deer-like creatures drinking at the creek, purple in color and much larger than any deer I know…. Which is not much. They dwarf me, I just hope they aren't territorial.
As I continue to look around the clearing, I see bird-like creatures in many colors flying around, and landing at the creek to drink water.
Even small furry like squirrels hopping around and chasing each other. Some drinking water, others gathering nuts to eat.
I look and see if there's a spot in the creek where I can drink water without disturbing the creatures.
I see in the far right side of the clearing where the creek runs through that there are no creatures around. That looks to be a perfect spot to drink the water… I hope I don't get sick from it. But I don't really have a choice. I'm getting really thirsty.
I crouch and stay just outside the clearing hoping none of the creatures see me and attack. Then I try to be sneaky and get to the part of the creek I saw.
Constantly checking the creatures as I move forward. Nervous that they might do something. But as time ticks on and I'm moving forward, my worries lessen.
I make it to the edge of the clearing right next to the creek that I saw with no creatures. I look around quickly to see if any of the creatures have moved over here, thankfully none have.
I take a big breath in and slowly move out of the clearing to the creek. Still cautions expecting the worst in the fauna that live here.
I make it to the creek and crouch down to my knee. I take a look at the water and its crystal clear. Please be good and refreshing.
As I lean over the water to get a handful to drink, I see my face and what I look like. The first time since waking up in the forest.
My face is pale and sunken in, thin lips, and my eyes half gold and purple. Not one eye purple or gold but half and half through the iris. Then my hair snow white with a hint of yellow. Probably from how skinny I am.
I definitely need to eat more so my face and body is not so sunken in. OH right! Water that's what I came for. I then reach down to get a handful of water.
[Item Identified - Creek Water - Water that is drinkable]
The water is cool and refreshing on my hand to feel in the heat of the forest. Even hotter in the clearing with no shade. I take my first sip of the creek water. Like my hand feels cool but far more refreshing and the water goes into my dry mouth. And eventually my dry throat.
I grab many more handfuls of water, getting my face, neck and tunic all wet. At this moment I don't really care, this water is so good after not having any for so long.
Okay I have had water and some berries now I need to find shelter before it gets dark and whatever is in this forest wants to kill me.
