With a yawn I crawl up noticing Ellie curled up sleeping away leaning to the side as she was to scared to turn the backpack into a bedroll last night looking down further I realize for the first time that she had been naked the night before... and didn't have enough time to get dressed. Ha... she was streaking her whole way through the forest last night. Climbing up on the backpack I dig through finding her neatly folded cloths before draping them over her like the cloths on a paper doll before looking around and sighing... I gotta dig my way out. Let's see do I got full mana again? Alex status please.

Oh it's almost capped and both my health and mana have reached the quadruple digits cool... Oh... I see why my mana is already so full my regeneration level up. With a shrug and deep sigh I let out a lot of mist that I condense into little clouds before forming them into claws that dig away the stones then push the big ol' wolf carcass out of the entrance. Stepping out I can't help but fall the the ground twitching externally and laughing internally as I see the giant stick that has impaled the backend of the wolf that so kindly protected us... Oh my god... It got skewered right up the ass... After calming down I climb back up before walking over and digging a hole that I then burry the wolf into without taking the large wood skewer my body stopping to twitch about every now and then shoulders trembling before I finally burry the wolf in respect... All respects towards the passing soul who made me laugh. After a short prayer I take a smaller wooden skewer that resembles then wolf's ass skewer and place it like a tombstone before carving "He got super butt hurt." Onto it with trembling shoulders. After it was done I heard foot steps behind me and got startled as I turn around to find the now clothed red faced Ellie standing with her hood drawn as low as possible looking curiously at the carving on the tombstone.
"Whose that tombstone for and what's it say? I can't understand those characters." Again... This lady is asking me questions I can't respond dumb dumb. With a sigh I condense a cloud before her showing her what I buried and seeing the scene the previous red face that was going back to normal turned bright red again before sitting down and writing on the wooden tombstone. "Many thanks for guarding us." With a very serious face... Oh... well I mean it didn't have much of a choice... and wait I can red her words fine as if they were my words but she can't understand my words? Alex can you explain this?
"Due to the effect of skill [Binding] it's possible to feel the meaning behind words or text that the bond write or said however it is not possible to do the same with the text itself. As such because she wasn't present to see you write the text it became illegible to her."
Interesting... So I can write her messages but she can't read my diary... I need a diary so I can curse her none stop in it and talk about railing her loved ones... Wait... I'm her only loved one... Welp I guess I'll have to fuck myself... I guess it is physically possible I have an anus but I'd have to do it with mist... Also I very much don't wish to do that... Hmm well I still don't have diary so not necessary... Ha... Crawling up onto the girls shoulder I forget about my bit. As we both gaze out over the debris field that used to be a forest. Very few trees still standing even our own not left whole luckily the roots weren't pull out of the ground so we stayed safe in our little hallow. With a curious glint in her eyes Ellie walks back the way we came following the few standing trees that look vaguely similar to our previous rushing through this area and the tint of green that my mist and clouds leave behind on the air. I've found it fades after a good day of waiting with some experiments while we waiting around the first time back when I was waiting for the hides to soften in the urine so I could properly shave off the extra bits. I was concerned at first as I seem to be polluting the environment but due to the effect only needing a day to heal I moved on. After a short while Ellie runs out of landmarks as we get to a area with nothing still standing. With a sigh I spread out my mist to recreat my mist cover due to the effect of the storm my mist was thrown around all over the place so the green alone isn't enough to find the way.
After a bit of searching I find the river again that survived. The little pool I built was wrecked though... As I have finally managed to recall all of the mist I lost to the storm and the mist around us the area clears up and I make a regular mist arrow as nothing is near us right now no real need for a defensive net. Trekking forward following my directions we see the devastation grow worse and worse to the point that in the direct path the storm passed is only soil. As even the top soil was removed along with the plants, trees and leaves. Not to mention the sparse corpses that we saw in previous days. Except for trees in the distance and clouds in the sky the whole world has become a long black scar of dirt. After reaching the river bank where the tree x I set up before is we are finally back but nothing excluding the damaged bath area remains. Looking out over the river even the fish are gone. With a sigh I make a wisp of mist that flys off into the distance and Ellie sits down on the part of the pools outer edge that is still standing and looks at the horizon before looking at me "So what now?" with a shrug I breath some more mist out and form a boat out of wood and an couple oars that ghost claws are moving in the air with a little hooded figure sitting on it. Ellie watches the little scene before shrugging causing my little body to bob up and down before responding "K." I wonder what this girl is thinking? She just goes along with any direction I pick like that makes sense... She's a human shouldn't she have a direction to head towards to get to a town or something? Was the ruins the only place with other humans she knew?
