spirits balance

awakening

Slowly I opened my eyes seeing a glowing light having no idea what is going on I start to panic.
"What is going on what happened where am I?!"

My breathing became erratic the glow started to rapidly dim and brighten.  "Calm." I mentally scold myself as the light evened out.
"Question 1 what happened: unknown question 2 where am I : in a hollow log question 3 who am I : inconclusive. Well that wasn't very productive."

I thought aloud, I slowly got up and examined myself I found I have glowing white fur.
As I begin processing everything that happened and is happening I realize that I'm missing something, a piece of myself.

"Okay I should explore my surroundings and find a way to defend myself."

With my current goals set up I walk outside of the log and take in the sights. The trees tower over me like redwoods bushes and other small plants are scattered across the undergrowth, light filtering through the canopy.

I pick up a long and sturdy branch that I could use as a staff and begin to wander passing interesting wildlife that look alien and familiar at the same time. I began to get hungry so I began to look for food and found some fruit in a small tree so I began to climb it and was surprised by my agility. At the top I took a branch with some gold ish fruit and began to eat it tasted pretty good so I continued with a bit more enthusiasm.
With that very productive wandering complete I review what I know.

"I somehow recognize and don't at the same time, I have a weapon that I don't think I know how to use and have a source of food. Honestly I am doing very well for now."
I felt a very strange shiver after the end of that last sentence.

I ignore it and climb down and head back to my log. Nothing interesting happened on my way back. Once home I decide that I should learn to use my weapon. I start with seeing how to hold it and after a bit of adjustments I fall into a stance I'm comfortable with. I have my right foot leading and my left foot far behind. I start trying to find the right feeling swings eventually finding something workable.

I look outside to find that it has gotten dark and I decide that I am going to get some sleep. I lay down and curl up eventually falling into a deep sleep.
