Subject: Ferret
Today an odd looking ferret wandered into the forest. He was larger than the average ferret for sure, must be a hybrid like me. I watched silently, wondering if he was here to poach, but all he hunted was a bunny or two. It was clear he just needed to eat, he has no equipment to cage or slaughter really. He has a small pack he keeps under a green clothed cloak that he keeps pulling a small book from, writing in, and then putting away.
I’ve taken up drawing those that wander into my forest, for future records so I can identify threats more easily if they get away. I think this is my best one yet. It is still a little clumsy looking, but then again, so is the ferret. His shoes snapped when he tried to climb a tree, he fell and took the impact well but his shoes did not. Feeling a little sorry for him, I made some new shoes and dropped them in his camp while he slept. When he awoke he looked around but put the shoes on.
From time to time I notice him kneeling, maybe praying. I wonder what deity he worships. After a few days I realized he was looking for something. What he is looking for I have no idea, but I have come to realize that he was just an adventurer. A rare sight in the forest. One night I decided to test his resolve, to make sure he could survive adventuring here. When I splayed out my wings and made them look like massive eyes in the dark, he simply kneeled and prayed before standing up and pulling out his dagger. He was ready to defend, but it was clear he wouldn’t attack. Maybe he’s heard of the demon in the forest, or less likely heard of the spirit.
When I put my wings away all he said was ‘Thank you.’ before he went back to enjoying his food. He was pretty fearless, and I admire that. Maybe I’ll introduce myself… and maybe I’ll give him the drawing I made, I think he’s earned it. After that I am sure he will tell me what he is looking for. If his intentions are good, maybe I can help.
