MC .POV.
We spent a few weeks or months with the elf some were still wary but most of them were really friendly in particular the teenage elf girl I saved from the branch and the older male elf I meet previously in the dungeon, blue is also still wary of the elf and never lets down his guard but white is quite the opposite he is completely fine with the elf and is even willing to roll over and let them touch his belly, the elf are most friendly with blue and white they rarely approach me and that's okay with me I don't want their attention anyway I would be super uncomfortable being treated like a pet after I lived as a human for sixteen years.
I often watched the elf collecting herbs and making things with them they made potions and food out of plants you can find all over the place, and now thanks to them I can now make over twenty vegetarian meals and around ten potions that I don't know the use for I also now know what plants are safe to eat and which ones to avoid, using that knowledge I moved some poisonous plants closer to the camp to ward off other animals and magical beasts I don't want the elf getting hurt while I'm out hunting.
It took me a while to move all the poisonous plants since I don't have hands and I had to carry them in my mouth which made me sick at first but stopped affecting me after a while and I'll say the elf were a little shocked at the new decorations, I brought many plants over some that were just poisonous to eat and others that affected the area around them such as spreading a thin smoke or making a poisonous liquid that drips of its leafs and ones with poisonous fruit, all those poisonous plants were sure to keep most animals away.
Another thing is I have picked up on some of the elf language only simple things like 'tree' or 'here' and one of the most recent one's I've learnt is 'follow' and its pretty useful to know like when the elf go out the leader often includes 'follow' when he's telling the others what to do so I listen out for it and follow them whenever one of them says it, and it seems like they have caught on that I understand them slightly so they started to teach me more words and the word they were most exited to teach me was 'find' they often say this and hold up an image of what they want me to look for.
Today seems different to other days the elf have packed up all of their belongings and taken down their camp, blue and white were very confused and didn't know what was happening but I knew exactly what was going on, are they leaving already? It was really fun to have them around I guess it'll just be me blue and white again I sat at the side and watched as they finished packing up the last of their things into bags, the elf I meet in the dungeon who's name I found out is Konfare weird I know, started to walk over to us I lowered my head to greet him and he put his hand on my nose and said a few words I Don't understand yet then he said something I do understand.
"@%#$*& follow"
I sat still and confused as he turned around and started walking then looked back and said it again.
"Follow"
He wants me to follow him? I stood up still confused and started to follow him.
"Where do you think he's taking us?"
blue slithered onto my forehead to observe the elf closer he has always been suspicious of anything the elf do, they lead us into a part of the forrest I hadn't been in before and it was getting harder for me to move the trees were roughly the same as the ones in the other part of the forrest except the area that had branches got closer to the ground and I don't exactly want to walk with my face in the leafs so I am now crawling with my belly touching the ground its rather uncomfortable, but luckily It didn't last long as we kept following the elf who were fine under the trees I had to crawl under the trees became taller and more spaced apart I am now able to walk with my legs straight and my head straight up which I haven't been able to do since I left the dungeon.
The ground is also different its softer and there is sand mixed into it and there is a strong smell of salt, I have a felling I know where we are going and if I'm right I can't wait, we continued walking and the ground became more sandy and there were less trees the smell of salt became stronger and stronger and now right in front of me I was right, THE OCEAN! Its the ocean and as soon as I saw it I started running towards the water past the elf as fast as I could and some of the younger elf started running too, when I reached the water I threw myself down and started rolling around violently the elf joined in they weren't as aggressive but still had fun playing in the waves and I felt the salty water seep slowly into my wounds and begin to sting, blue and white looked very confused and questioned what I was doing.
"Im playing"
I answered excitedly before the older elf called back the younger ones playing in the water and I followed and we all continued down the beach, just where are we going?
