General POV

3 days later...

The scene shifts, and as we look out at the vast forest, it is obvious that nature has blessed it. While animals of all sizes and shapes roam freely, lush flowers in a variety of colors decorate the forest floor. While a herd of deer grazes in the distance, a family of rabbits nibbles on the high grass.

As we scan our eyes over the peaceful forest, we notice a predator lurking in the shadows, but it doesn't disturb the tranquility of the place. The water in the nearby stream is calm, and the wind blows gently, causing the giant hogweed plants to sway elegantly. The plants whistle a soft tune as the wind flows through them. In the midst of it all, birds chirp melodiously and frogs croak rhythmically.

We focus on a young child who is peacefully dozing off on a bed of vibrant flowers. She is peacefully breathing while she is dozing off, and each breath causes her chest to rise and fall. The child resembles a toddler. Her hair is a beautiful shade of pink and cascades down to her waist. She grinned while sleeping, drifting off into her own world.

The little girl, with her pointy ears and pink hair, slowly stirred from her slumber, rubbing the sleep from her eyes with her tiny hands. As she opened her eyes, a sense of wonder and amazement took over her face, like a new seedling that had just grown and witnessed the world for the first time. She took in the beauty of the forest around her, with its lush greenery and adorable animals scurrying about.

As she stood up, wearing a cute mini robe, she gazed at the calm waters and felt the cool breeze brushing against her skin.

Pristine girl: Wow! 

she exclaimed in her high-pitched voice, her wide smile beaming even brighter. The world was reflected in her eyes, and she was reflected in the world.

She took a few steps, her small feet barely making a sound, as she explored the forest with glee.

Pristine Girl: This is so pretty!

She said to herself, a soft giggle escaping her lips. She continued to wander, her smile never fading, feeling like a bundle of joy in this magical place.

A few minutes later, she reaches a village, and an old man who was a farmer happens upon the little girl as she admires the flowers. The old man smiled and took her to the nearby orphanage, where the other children welcomed her with open arms. The little girl was so full of life and joy that everyone couldn't help but love her.

Four days later, Aeon has kept himself occupied by building a massive brick square with a window opening and doorway to replace his previous tree-filled igloo. Now that he has a huge robot body and doesn't really need to sleep, it serves more as a storage area. He's now cutting the wood from the trees he's been felling, and the trees he used to make an igloo tree are now being cut into a variety of different shapes for wooden gears and other mechanical components.

Not only that, he is also making spikey sticks and wooden stakes. If he's going to establish this location as his permanent base, he might as well build some mechanical traps, he reasons. He concentrates on the task at hand as he creates intricate, precise shapes with his enormous two-handed wide sword. He is at least able to become accustomed to cutting it, despite mistakes and broken shapes, but not yet to the level of mastery.

Simple traps like the deadfall and spring traps were assimilated by Aeon, who tried to blend them into the forest as much as possible. He created the spring trap using a different technique, such as a tripwire, instead of a spring. The flax was miraculously discovered, and after cleaning it with water and scraping it with his sword, he used it. Then, in order to twist it to create the wire, he had to construct a wooden spindle. The trap was constructed using a tripwire, numerous wooden mechanical gears, wooden stakes atop the trees, and materials that blended in with the soil and leaves. The traditional pitfall trap with wooden stakes was the last trap he designed. He positioned a lot of these traps close to his base.
