A [h] haired male was strolling through the forest with animals following behind him like lost puppies. The male is known to be [Y] Cookie, the guardian of the forest, working alongside Wind Archer, who's been training him to learn to use bow and arrow. [Y] was given a second chance of life thanks to the Spirit of the Forest, Millennial Tree.
He's now a free spirit. Though, [Y] feels that he hasn't found himself yet. The taller male wanted to explore outside the forest to see the outside world. So, perhaps, if he could just ask for Millennial Tree's permission to leave the forest to explore. But that left him one question:
Will the forest be ok without him as a guardian?
[Y] has reached the waterfall to take a quick shower since he's covered in dirt. He also needed to clean his clothes as well. The [h] haired male took off his clothes and step underneath the waterfall
"Are you taking a bath? Pardon me for interrupting your relaxation." Millennial Tree apologized to the male. [Y] nodded, "No need. I'm filthy. So are my clothes..."
"Hahaha! You've been working so hard working as the guardian of this forest. You do need a moment to relax." The spirit of the forest smiled.
[Y] couldn't remember how many years he was in the forest. Perhaps a hundred years? Maybe it's time to ask Millennial Tree if he could retire as the guardian.
"Is something wrong?" Millennial Tree asked the male. "I noticed your expression. It looks like you wanted to ask something."
"...Yes. But I'm worried that you might not be happy with my request." [Y] mumbled. Millennial Tree tilted his head, "Request?"
"Will you...be ok if I retire as the guardian and explore Earthbread? It's an important quest for me." [Y] requested. "I've been guarding this forest for 100 years and I've been questioning myself: "Who am I? Who do I want to be??" Those questions had been bothering me for years."
"...You want to go on a journey...to find yourself, is that what you're saying?" the spirit of the forest questioned.
"Yes. I feel like there's a part of me that is missing..." [Y] stated, pressing his hand against his chest. "And I was hoping that I'll be able to find that part of me. I hope you're alright with the idea of me leaving the forest."
"...Should I let him be? But he has been here for 100 years. He has never seen the outside world before." Millennial Tree thought to himself. He's kinda worried for the male, worried that he might revive his old memory as the Watcher. Maybe, he'll let him go. "He deserves this...I'll let him go."
"If you wish to find yourself, then I'll let you explore. You need to see the outside world, right?" Millennial Tree smiled sadly. "I know you will do fine without my guardian. I trust that you'll make friends along the way and please send us some messages about your journey."
"I will. Thank you for letting me explore, Millennial Tree." [Y] bowed to the spirit.
"He'll be alright? Right...?"
