People?

I've slowly gotten closer with the chipmunk that follows me, though I don't know why he follows me I guess its fine. I once again walked and walked, but I stopped once I started to notice something.

The sun was going down, as I walked the sun slowly started to go down. It was peculiar but I decided not to dwell on it too much, for it might cause me a head ache. I soon realized that maybe time in the Never-ending Forest never moved, and as I was slowly exiting the forest it was starting to move again. As I exited the forest I was met by another, but this one was filled with pine trees. The smell of pine was crisp and fresh, it was nice to smell something besides sequoia trees.

The wind blew lapping at my skin at a new beginning, I was quite happy to be out of the Never-ending Forest. As soon as I stepped into the pine tree filled forest the chipmunk from the last forest crawled up on my shoulders. It surprised me, I wasn't expecting it to suddenly come so close to me. But I just petted it's head and continued walking with it on my shoulders.

I walked for a few hours till it became dark, and then set up a fire. I then took a nap setting my spear behind me, my clothes were torn here and there from my 3 week long journey. I slept for quite a while, I dusted myself off and then began my journey once again. I walked for 2 days straight, but couldn't find a source of water it was worrying me I was running low. I walked for another day and then ran out of water, this was bad. I walked another day without water I needed to find something to and the pouch I made with my coat was running out of cooked bugs I had stored from the Never-ending Forest.

I was starting to feel dizzy on the 5th day in the Pine tree Forest, this was worrying. I soon found what looked like a road I was quite excited to find it, but with the little energy I had I couldn't celebrate. I walked on that road for a day until my mind went blank and I started to sway till I hit the ground 'Shit'. I don't know how long I laid there but it must've been a few hours. I soon heard the clomping of hoofs, I tried to move but it seems I couldn't.

I then heard shouting I couldn't make out what they were saying, it definitely wasn't my language. I was soon picked up by a man, he wore armor which I found quite weird. I tried to look at his face but I couldn't because my eye sight was blurry, I said "Let me go. I'll be fine if I rest a little." But he didn't know my language so he continued to carry me all the way to a horse.

And then he started riding his horse with me on his lap, I was quite embarrassed. I was a man being carried by another one was quite hurtful to my pride, I tried to look around with the best of my ability and saw multiple other people on horseback. I sighed and let the other man carry me, till I once again passed out, I decided to let this happen since I wasn't feeling well.

When I woke up I seemed to be laying in a pile of hay covered with a blanket, it was comfortable and I wanted to sleep more but I knew it was best I left. I couldn't trust them, their armor made me think that they were sketchy. But then I realized I was naked, and saw a bowl of water with a cloth in it beside me. It seems they wiped me down with it, I couldn't leave without my clothes and spear which I saw was gone too. I layer there with my arm beneath my head, after waiting for a while I soon began to be impatient and decided I might as well go out.

I pulled the blanket off the pile of hay and wrapped it around my waist, I looked quite good with only a blanket on too. The blanket really made my waistline pop out, and from sweating quite a bit my abs shone. 'It's nice to be young again' I thought to myself. I soon walked out of the tent moving my hair out of my face with one hand and the other on the blanket on my waist. I saw a few people by a fire, I saw it was soon going to be dark. One of the people by the fire saw me and soon got up and walked over to me. He said a few words but I couldn't understand what he was saying.

" I can't understand you." I said to him, and it soon dawned on him I couldn't understand him. We both stood there for about a minute not knowing what to do, I sighed. I soon walked over to the fire sat on a log they had set up around the fire, and grabbed a stick. I decided to grab a stick and draw on the ground, they soon realized what I was trying to do and leaned in to watch.

I drew what looked like a map then drew a little face that was contemplating something. I was trying to tell them where we were, and it seemed they got the picture. They soon grabbed a map and showed it to me, or what looked like a map. They soon pointed to where we were, but everything on the map was completely opposite what a map of the world should look like. This was definitely not a map, either this was a completely different world or this was a fake map. And I was hoping it was the latter, like literally praying it was.
