-Chirp! Chirp!
-Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish…
-Sherr. Sherrr. Sherrr…
As Elio stepped out of the dark cave, he shielded his eyes from the bright sunlight that greeted him. It took his eyes a little bit to adjust to this new light, however, he it was normal…
And right now, normal was a good sign for him,
"Hmmm."
After the cool, shadowy cave, the sun felt warm and bright, lively as well.
"Huuuuuuu."
He took a deep breath of fresh, crisp air, which smelled of pine and earth. The forest area… it actually was just like how he had felt when he was around the city or town areas.
"Seems good."
In front of him stretched a wide, open forest, and he was surrounded by tall trees that seemed to touch the sky. The trees had thick, sturdy trunks covered in rough bark, and their branches formed a green canopy over his head. Rays of sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating tindle patterns of light and shadow on the forest floor.
[{ The last time I went to the north, however, there's this big slope or something around ten kilometers away from here. We should go to the south or the west this time, master. }]
"Let's not be haisty though."
The ground was soft here and covered with a mix of fallen leaves, needle leaves, and small patches of unique grass. As he moved his eyes around the opene area, he could see colorful wildflowers growing here and there, adding splashes of red, purple, and yellow among the green.
Birds chirped and sang in the trees, though there were some creatures among them as well, their songs mixing with the gentle rustling of the leaves in the breeze.
"You should go and check for any threats nearby once again. Even the smallest things could be as dangerous as those evil bastards in an unknown place."
As he took in the scene, he noticed a few small animals darting between the trees and across the forest floor. Squirrel-like beings with horns and three eyes scurried up and down the trunks, while a black-yellow bird cautiously peeked out from behind a bush before bounding away into the underbrush.
He was a foreign element in this environment…
[{ I'll do that, master, but don't run around and try 'befriending' those beings, alright? }]
"Haha, I'll try to do that if they are harmful."
[{ … }]
Elio felt a sense of wonder and excitement along with a certain fear and anxiety. The forest was so different from the dark, quiet cave he had just left that he wondered how these two distinct places could feel so different and yet so daringly similar.
Both the forest and the cave were alive with their own colors, sounds, and their wildlife. He smiled, as a tamer and an enthusiast, feeling the warmth of the sun on his face and the softness of the ground beneath his feet.
"Enough with that glaring, Miss Sera. Go now. See if you can find any sign of civilization here."
[{ Yes, master. }]
The first thing he had to do right now was to find out where he was exactly, and he was going to do that with the help of various things that were present here.
First of all, he was going to check the plant and animal lives of this area and try to find out where they were, and then he would have to cross reference them from the database that Alex had installed in his personal
"Let's see."
He knew for sure that this unknown chunk of data will prove to be quite helpful to him, at the very least.
"Three eyes."
He looked around him and it seemed like the creatures that were present here weren't affected by that green light in any manner.
It was a strange skill, and since there was no given description of this skill, he knew he will have to find out more about it on his own with trial and error…
