Record of chaos- The Better six
Alternate's rainboom- Serene whisper part 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter waking up, the filly looked around. Noticing the tall and black wood trees with leaves that looked like blade patterns. Her first instinct was to look for her family and even though failing to voice out any coherent sentence due to her "disability" she tried, failling however to call out to them. However she sooner than later realized she was alone.
The sky reflected the star filled night, that altough seemed very bright to this filly could not be more somber.
For some hours she tried different paths to either get out of the forest or hopefully find her family. She didnt do either. By the time she realized she could no longer run, her was stamina was low, her mouth thristy and her stomach aching. She could only cry in silence near a natural cave that was near a big grey rock found in one of the paths she tried to follow to get out.
Apparently either the forest was to big or she was to bad at tracking her steps. Either way she didnt have the physical strength or mental either to think that about that now.
"Mommy..... daddy..... brother....where are y-you?" she internally thought as she sobbed. Despite being unable to speak her mind was definately not silent.
She was scared but also hungry, sad, angry, thirsty, golly she was a mess!.
Then after hearing the movements of something or someone in a near bushel she hided in the cave structure in fear of what was out there. Except was came out was a small rabbit, not bigger than her arm. That slowly trotted near a bunch of macroscopic fungi and started to eat them, while it moaned in satisfaction. Seeing another animal eat, made her own belly roar, noise that made the bunny turn to her and look at her for a while but then deciding she was not a predator it continued its feast.
"Those must be edible..." the filly thought venturing out of her cave to another bunch of equally looking fungi and tried to eat them. She was hungry for many reasons afterall. They did not taste bad actulally. For her luck she was eating Laetipurus fungi, or in other words "chicken of the woods" fungi, a chicken tasting fungi naturally found in forest. To her who rarely if ever ate meat due to the current lack of food dilema of the kingdom this tasted like heaven.
With ocasional satisfied moans she ate the shroom, once satisfied she looked towards where the rabbit was before.... it was still there? how odd, she though.
As if answering her question the rabbit turned to look at her, and then south and then started hopping, something in Serene thought the rabbit was telling her to follow it, and considering she just found out something to eat in the near future, there was little to lose, so she followed it.
After 15 minutes or so of following the creature. She heard the sound of water moving. IT WAS A RIVER!. So in her thirst she followed the sound, and after a minute or so of running there in front of her was a river cascading from a small cliff near the water trail it made was near a big group of flowers, fungi, even fruit trees and whatnot. The water was so clean she could see her reflection, in fact she could also see the reflection of the bunny that led her here that was kind of smirking at her as a brother would after teaching a sibling how to do something.
So then, they both drank until their strength was replenished and their body hydrated.
Serene did not know where she was, but she knew something. In the time between her parents finding her or if she managing to get out , she would learn all she could from this or any creature here to survive.
Too bad they never came, and she did not go out. 7 months had passed. She was... adapting well you could say. She found out many types of food all around the forest. She found out (due to experience of course) wich things WERE edible and wich WERE NOT, needles to say, she even tripped balls on one ocasion with her eating a hallucigen fungus by accident (Amanita muscaria) confusing it with its "sibling" Amanita caesarea,wich is indeed edible. How did she confuse them? well, try to see details and color in the dark and i mean DARK and tell me if you never mess up.
She while still holding the abilty to understand words, write and overall all get civility she started to understand deeply all the implications of animal interactions, ecosystems, etc.
She now understanded concepts like "alfa", what was a "pack" among other concepts that at the time she did not knew wich words to use but she understood what they meant. And you would do too if you spent almost a full year since childhood in a forest full of life and animals by yourself, trust me.
So anyway her figure was now more "full" she still was lean for her age but she was definatly not as skinny as before. The forest was kind on her in that matter. altough her presence was clearly havnig an impact as less and less fruit fungi was found month after month. So, as you may imagine not everything was roses and pink. Remember she is living in a forest FULL of animals. LOTS of them. So eventually one day as she was searching for resources with the help of self made make shift tools with her bunny friend that she now called "Angel" she got ambushed by a "grey wolf" however the wolf be it due to ignorance or overall instinct did NOT focuse on her, her animal friend however got int its jaws and barely managed to escape with a cost, its right front paw as well its left ear was bitten off and it would have been eaten whole if Serene did not frighten the wolf throwing stones at it. Eventually the wolf got tired and decided to leave it at that, at least it got a small snack.
While the bunny bleeded she was freaking out.
"No, no, no, no, NO!" she did not know what to do but she refused to stay still, and altough she was still having lots of trouble to spek she could still scream one word: "NO!", a scream that was loud enough to be hear outside the forest. Meanwhile the only thing it occured to her was grab a pair of vines and did a very rustic tourniquette as she wrapped the stumps with fragments of her old clothes now tainted red.
All of this while a Blue furr and rainbow maned filly that was overflying the forest heard her scream.
