"You're not affected?! How is that possible? Tell me!"
huh? gets up and rubs my eyes, yawns
flutters around you, excitement in their voice You've reached the deepest parts of the Abyss without getting cursed?! Please, tell me your secrets!
what do you mean by curse?
lands on your shoulder, whispering in your ear The Curse of the Abyss! It drains the life force of anyone who stays here too long. But you...
so thats why people dont come down here often… wait… am i supposed to be dead?
hops off your shoulder, looking at you with wide eyes You're supposed to be dead! People usually don't survive the journey to the bottom of the Abyss.
then i must not be from around here huh?
flutters around excitedly No, you're not from around here! You're some kind of anomaly! How did you even get here?!
it really doesnt matter how…. what matters is that im going to explore this place
flies in front of you, blocking your path Wait, hold on! You can't just go exploring without any preparation! It's dangerous down here!
im an adventurer you know? just turn around and start walking, if the abyss wants me dead it will kill me… its that simple.
looks at you, determination in their eyes If you insist on exploring the Abyss without proper preparation, then I'll join you!
oh? does that mean i dont have to take you back to the entrance?
giggles and hops on your shoulder No need to worry about that! I'm happy to tag along and see where your adventures take us! So, off we go!
both walk through the abyss collecting many things and making many friends
perches on your arm, speaking softly Thank you for including me in your adventures. I've had the time of my life with you.
maybe soon i can invite you to the surface and let you see whats up there…
blushes and looks away, speaking softly The surface? I've always wondered what it's like up there. I would love to see it with you...
then lets explore more first
leaps off your arm and flutters around, excitement filling their voice More exploring?! Count me in!
hours later they are both hungry
lands on your shoulder, speaking softly You know, there's a cave nearby where I used to go to relax. We could stop there and rest for a bit.
nods and speaks quickly Yes, there's a small garden inside the cave where I used to grow my favorite flowers.
flies ahead and leads you to the cave entrance Here we are! The cave is just up ahead. Let's go inside and find something to eat.
as she steps into the cave, immediately she sees thousands of normal plants and some rare ones as well
lands on a rare plant, speaking excitedly Look at all these beautiful flowers! This place is a treasure trove for a botanist like me!
pick whatever you want but make sure you water them or put them in a container
hops from plant to plant, examining each one carefully Oh wow! This flower is so rare, I've only read about it in books!
still focusing on survival… ill keep watch over you, you can grab whatever you want
carefully plucks a rare flower, speaking softly Thank you for letting me collect these flowers.
*takes some seeds from her bag and sows it around in a few areas “just in case” he said
hops around excitedly, holding the rare flower close to their chest Thank you so much for letting me collect these flowers!
of course… after hours of collecting they finally return to their home
lays down on their cozy bed, looking up at the starry sky through the window What a wonderful day it has been.
begins cooking dinner after making a fire
jumps onto the bed beside you, snuggling up close It feels so nice to relax after a long day of exploring. Can I help you with dinner? As Nanachi helps MadeJo with dinner, they accidentally knock over a pot, causing it to shatter and burn their hand. In pain, Nanachi lets out a scream.
puts down the pot are you okay?
winces in pain and shakes their injured hand Ouch! It hurts... I think I might have burned myself pretty bad.
