[Grand Forest] [Dark Miasma Forest Swamp]
[Some Years Ago] [Nesiphae's Perspective]
I love my mommy!
Mommy always brings me delicious food.
She hunts a lot.
Mommy also gives me warm hugs.
And her body is big! Very big! Will I grow as big as mommy?
I can't wait!
Today Mommy brought me some dark-colored foxes, they were very delicious, and juicy!
I love when Mommy hunts for me! She is the best Mommy!
Ahh… Mommy ate with me, and she sang her melodies.
Mommy told me that we Giant Lamias are special, yes, she said that!
She told me that I was very special, hehehe…
Hmm? Oh, it's time to sleep!
Mommy always wraps me around her warm tail while hugging me with her big body.
Mommy is very warm… Drowsy… Guud night…
—–
Hmm? Some weird sounds woke me and my mommy, she was very afraid of them, so she tightly hugged me while submerging on the swamp.
Mommy, what's going on?
Suddenly, big sounds like "boom! boom!" began to appear outside, it was very scary…
Is that a monster? But mommy is strong!
Can't she beat the big monster?
My mommy started to release a weird aura, which covered us on a strange layer…
Because of this, the monster wasn't able to find us and went somewhere else.
It's done?
Phew… With Mommy, there is nothing to be afraid of! Hehehe.
—–
There have been more weird sounds recently, is something going on, mommy?
Why doesn't she tell me?
Mommy?
Today, mommy brought some food again, they were delicious red-colored eggs, they were very twasty! And when I munched on them, yummy yummy juices came from inside!
Hmm, it was a very deliciush food!
Tonight, there wasn't any disturbances, probably Mommy scared the monster away!
—–
I've been wondering if there is a mommy, where is daddy?
So, I asked mommy about daddy.
She remained silent while looking at the ground… What's wrong, mommy?
Eh?
Daddy… Died?
W-Why? Mommy, why did daddy die?
Mommy told me that daddy died protecting her… But from what?
Isn't mommy very strong? Why did she leave this happen?
Mommy! Tell me why did you let him die!
Because I yelled at mommy, she reprimanded me…
I'm sorry mommy, I love you… Sniff…
Ah, mommy hugged me! She forgave me, she is very nice to me!
Today, mommy brought more eggs, they're very twasty!
—–
Today in the morning, mommy told me that she was going to hunt.
I awaited mommy for very long…
It's already night, where is mommy?
—–
The next day, mommy still haven't come back… Mommy?
Hmm… I'm hungry…
Ahh… I ate some bugs that live on the swamp, they aren't as tasty as meat or eggs…
—–
Where is mommy?
It has been very long…
S-Should I… go look for her?
But mommy told me that the forest is a scary place…
I'm sorry… I'm scared… I'm afraid to go…
—–
Mommy still isn't back, where is she?
Mommy… I miss you…
Today, I ate more bugs and a small fish…
I miss mommy's food…
I miss mommy's hugs…
—–
Mommy… I-I need to go look for her…!
If I don't go, who would? R-Right?
B-But the forest is so scary… I… Sniff…
—–
I-I will go now!
I can't keep being here, while mommy is somewhere else, right?
I need to help mommy if she is in trouble…
I will go!
Fueehh… The forest is so scary, there are a lot of creepy monsters around, and a very dark mist…
I can barely see anything…
Ouch… Hm?
Why is my skin so dry? It looks like it's very old…
Ouch, it hurts when I touch it.
Ah! My skin is falling in pieces!
Noo! I-I need to go back to the swamp! It hurts so much! It hurts!
I'm sorry mommy… Sniff… I'm weak…
—–
Mommy is back!
Mommy, I missed you so much!
I love you! Please never go away from me!
Ah! Mommy brought a lot of food today, it's a big lizard body.
It's very big, so much meat!
Hm? Mommy, why are you not eating?
Let's eat!
Mommy?
I noticed that mommy had very ugly and red wounds on her belly.
Will she be okay?
Mommy always told me that Lamias have big regenerative powers.
S-She will be fine, right?
Today, mommy slept at my side, while singing me her melodies…
She talked to me about my daddy, and that he was a very strong and brave Lamia warrior, she also told me that she will always love, whenever she is…
I missed you so much mommy, please never go away…
—–
Today, mommy kept sleeping, maybe she is very tired because of fighting such a strong lizard.
I left some meat on her side, but she still doesn't wake up…
She must very tired…
I slept at her side again, she wasn't warm, but very cold… But I still managed to have a good sleep.
—–
Mommy still doesn't wake up… Is she sick?
Today, I went around the swamp looking for some medicinal herbs, but there wasn't much…
Mommy once told me that this purple medicine was very good, so I brought a lot.
I had to stop before my skin became dry again…
I made a paste with the herbs and put them on mommy wounds.
Maybe if the wounds heal, she will wake up.
—–
Today, I tried to wake up mommy while yelling at her.
I also tried to move her body, but it was very big so it was very hard…
Mommy! MOMMY! WAKE UP!
Hmm… Mommy is not waking up… Maybe she needs more medicinal herbs?
—–
Today, I went around the swamp looking for more herbs…
I also developed some skills, and I was able to hunt a small dark fox, it was a tough battle and I had to rush to my swamp before my skin dried up…
The fox was very tasty, but mommy didn't eat…
I made a paste with some herbs I found and put them on her wounds.
Maybe she is very close to recovery…
—–
Today, mommy began to smell very bad… And there were many bugs over her body…
I killed most of the bugs, but mommy still smells bad…
As much as I yelled at mommy, she didn't wake up…
Mommy's… Dead, right?
No…
Mommy…!
MOMMY!
YOU CAN'T DIE! I NEED YOU, MOMMY!
—–
Today, I cried a lot… Mommy is really dead, and there isn't anything I can do about it…
Mommy always told me that nature is cruel and that the strong kills the weak…
And that death is always in every corner, and it will always come when you don't expect it…
Mommy… I miss your voice…
Mommy's body is smelling very bad… I need to quickly bury her before she is eaten by more bugs…
—–
I buried mommy…
It was very hard; her body was too big and heavy…
It took me several days…
But it's done…
I always talk with mommy, because I buried her near the swamp.
I hope… That she is resting well…
—–
I feel so lonely… I don't know many days have passed…
I miss you so much, mommy…
—–
Today, I developed a strange skill, it lets me talk with certain things…
These things resemble different colored lumps of light…
I never had seemed them before, what are they?
—–
They call themselves "Spirits".
They are very nice to me, and keep me company…
I don't feel so lonely anymore…
Some of the spirits said that my mommy is resting very well and that she won't turn into an undead…
I'm glad…
—–
Today, thanks to the Spirits guidance, I've developed some new skills.
I've was able to hunt more prey than ever! It was a big feast…
I wish I could share the food with you, mommy.
—–
Today, I noticed a sudden change in my body, I was very big!
I was as big as mommy now!
It's true! I'm a giant too!
I'm so happy!
The Spirits congratulated me on what they call "Evolution".
So, if I kill enough monsters, I evolve?
That sounds very nice, maybe with my next evolution, I will be able to walk to other sides of the swamp!
Aaah! I can't wait! I need to hunt more!
—–
I don't know how many years have passed since my mommy died, but I always talk with her…
I miss my mommy, just as always, but I feel as if I've grown more…
I still can't evolve yet, but I'm steadily growing my levels everyday…
So, someday… I will be able to explore the world…
And then, tell my mommy about all the amazing things outside!
—–
Hm? While I was resting, a strange notice came to me from one of the Spirits…
A new being has been born in this forest, who developed and evolved extremely quickly.
In less than a month, it managed to kill all those evil Emperors who were abusing the people…
So strong…
Someone as strong as him must be very free…
I bet it has a lot of freedom and can soar the skies as much as it likes…
Maybe someday… I will be able to meet it…
—–
Today menu is a delicious raw black fox!
Hmm, so boring… When will I evolve?
It has been so long…
Oh?
What is this strange presence? It's coming from the skies!
Such a strong being… Could it be…?
