137 Inside the fores (1/2)

Dark.

That's one word that immediately came to mind as soon as I entered the forest.

It was unnaturally dark inside the forest.

It gave me a feeling of entering a trap, which I probably did.

The only consolation I had was the fact that being a Fiend enhanced all of my senses including my eyes to a very high degree allowing me to see in the dark without using the Advanced Vision.

Otherwise I would have to rely on that skill too much and I won't be able to use my mana properly anymore.

The advantages of being a Fiend are truly numerous once you go past the initial impression of them being a monster and what not.

As I stood in the dark and quiet forest I heard the soft movements of the roots from beneath the grass and leaves on the forest floor. I could smell them getting closer and closer. Like tightening a noose around my neck. Trying to consume. I could feel the roots closing in on me from a distance as I felt goosebumps rise on the skin, no doubt all the mutant trees are racing against one another to get to me first.

It's not a great feeling to realize that you're in a place where everyone and everything is trying to eat you.

'The things I do for family. The things I do for love.' I thought and shook my head with a bitter smile

The roots will no doubt try to attack me with their pheromones, capture me with their roots and then take everything from inside me, leaving me but a husk of my former self.

That can't be allowed to happen.

So first of all, I needed to understand the danger I was in.

The answer was pretty clear once I thought about it.

I was in a forest crawling with the roots of mutant trees and a momentary lapse in my concentration, a little bit of hallucination would end up with me being captured by these roots.

'Climb the trees. That would be safer.' Lily's voice ran in my mind.

'Excellent advice Lily.' I said with a smile as I was thinking along the same line.

Quick on my feet, I jumped up from tree to tree until I reached a safer place.

A high enough place where I won't be in heavily injured if I fall down but high enough so that it'll take the roots some time to get up to me.

But there's something unnatural about these normal trees as well.

I extended my claws and sunk them in the tree bark for proper holding.

'That should keep me safe enough for a while.' I thought as I observed the trees around me for a while before choosing to appraise them.
