Chapter 2 - Creating Puppets

Adrian looked at his puppets, admiring their unique qualities and characteristics. As he gazed at them, he noticed one puppet in particular that caught his eye—the one crafted from the sturdy pine tree.

In his mind, he decided to name this puppet "Pan," as it reminded him of the ancient god of the wild with its rough and spiky texture.

With a smile on his face, Adrian turned to his puppets and spoke to them in a commanding tone, "Gather up resources, fruits, and branches." "We need to prepare ourselves for the journey ahead."

Without hesitation, the puppets sprang into action, each using their unique abilities to gather up the necessary resources. Pan used its rough and spiky texture to easily gather branches, while the puppet made from the supple birch tree used its flexible body to reach high up into the trees and pluck juicy fruits.

As the puppets worked, Adrian watched with a sense of pride and satisfaction. He knew that, with their help, he would be well-prepared for whatever challenges lay ahead on his journey through the forest.

After a while, the puppets returned with an abundance of resources, their bodies overflowing with branches, fruits, and other materials. Adrian smiled and nodded in approval, knowing that his puppets had done an excellent job.

With the resources gathered, Adrian and his puppets continued on their journey, feeling more confident and prepared than ever before. And as they walked deeper into the forest, Adrian knew that he had his faithful companions by his side, ready to face whatever challenges they may encounter.

After walking for some time, Adrian found a good place. There was a small river on the right side, and the place was open and green with no trees whatsoever but not far from the forest either. It is the best place for him to settle for the time being.

Adrian and his puppets continued on their journey through the forest, eventually arriving at the banks of a wide river. On the other side of the river, Adrian noticed an open grassland, the perfect spot for them to set up a temporary camp.

He turned to his puppets and said, "We'll set up camp here for now. "Let's build a temporary base so we can rest and regroup."

Adrian spoke to his puppets like they were humans, but he knew that they were not, and they are not going to feel tired or anything human-like.But he still preferred to treat them like humans, as it connected him to them more deeply.

Pan, the pine tree puppet, stepped forward and used its rough and spiky texture to dig holes in the ground. The other puppets gathered up the branches and materials they had gathered earlier and began constructing a simple shelter.

With their combined efforts, the puppets quickly erected a sturdy shelter, complete with a roof made of branches and leaves. The shelter was large enough to accommodate all of them, with enough space to store their supplies and equipment.

Adrian looked on with a sense of satisfaction, pleased with the work his puppets had accomplished. He knew that with this temporary base,
