Dan POV
I went into the forest to get resources and something for Lesha to eat
I walked around since I finished gathering enough resources for Lesha's house but still didn't know what a earth worm eats
'Well worms are decomposers in the food chain so.. does that mean I need to feed her a dead body of a person' I thought
As I was walking I came across a few enemies that I made quick work of with my new moves geyser and hell's fury
I looted the enemies, which still had barely anything useful, I still got a double sided axe so I was content
As I was standing up from the bodies of the fallen enemies I saw something in the forest
I walked over to find a little hill with a small hut built into it
I walked towards the door and knocked on the door
After a few seconds I heard someone tell me to come inside so I did just that
Although this could be the most stupidest things to do, I did it because I can handle myself, plus curiosity killed the cat, which I am now in fact a lamb so it don't count
As I entered I saw a shadow figure walk over to me
"Your not my lord, who are you?" Said the figure as they walked into the light to show themselves
I was wondering if I should give my name since idk what this guy can do, ever since I came to this place I seen magic, cults, supposed gods, and I just seen a cult just do a ritual that buffed up Lesha into a giant earth-eating worm, so I am not risking the chance that this guy is like a mage or something with that staff
"Just call me Dan" I said, it's not like him just knowing my name will help him track me since my name would probably be strange to them also I don't really talk to people
"Ok Dan, my name is Ratau, what brings you to my humble cabin?" Said newly named Ratau
"I just happened to come across it" I said
"Really?, well while your here do you wanna play a game of knuckle bones?" Said Ratau
"What is that?" I said as I was interested
Ratau explained the rules to me and I think I had a good grasp of it
"So want to play?" Said Ratau
"I would but I'm pretty short of time right now, maybe another time?" I said as I remembered why I went into the forest in the first place
"That's fine, I look forward to us meeting again" said Ratau
" me too" I said as I left Ratau's house and went back towards the base
'Oh yeah I should get something for Lesha to eat" I thought as I picked some berries, pumpkin seeds, cauliflower seeds, and last but not least went to the pile of enemy bodies and dragged one to the base
As I entered the base area I saw Lesha walking up to me
"You got the stuff?" Said Lesha
"Yes, and the food" I said as I showed some of the pumpkins and califlower I picked earlier
"Great now I can finally eat" said Lesha as she took some of the califlower before biting into it
She stood there for a second before spitting it out
"Ew, why does it taste like that?" Said Lesha
"Because it is raw..." I said
"Oh..., then I will just cook it" said Lesha as looked around before looking towards me
"Umm can you make a cooking fireplace?" Said Lesha
Time skip to when Dan made the cooking fireplace
I didn't take long since it was just a simple cooking pot over a fireplace
"Ok now to cook" said Lesha as she began to cook...or so I thought
When she finished cooking she held a fresh meal in front of her that was in a grass bowl...somehow...?
I watched as she bit into the meal before once again spitting it out
When Lesha was spitting, she drop the meal straight onto the grass thus making a mess...which I'm not cleaning
I watched as they bent over looking down like she was about to cry, so I walked over
"I will make you something" I said as walked away from the depressed earth worm lady and to the cooking fireplace
I got the ingredients and cooked a simple but tasty meal then gave it to the worm lady
"Here" I said as I gave her the meal that was in a grass bowl which for some reason is just there, I didn't question it because it made it easier for me
I watched again as she bit into it, and paused... 'did it taste bad' I thought as a saw the worm lady sudden pause
Then she stuffed the whole meal into her face taking me by surprise
I backed away slowly as I saw her devour the meal well mostly like drink since she literally just ate it in one gulp which would kinda make sense since she is a worm but still that's weird
She suddenly turned to me which made me stop from back away any further
"Umm I am just going to make your house now...so...bye" I said as I speed walked away from what I just witnessed
'I should make Lesha house pretty big since I have the resources' I thought as I got to work to make a nice house for Lesha
Since Lesha house is going to be nice I'm going to fix mines up soon or just make a completely new house since the other was a little cramped
I still need to make those blinds
So much to do but I can worry about that later I just need to focus on making the house
Lesha said she would teach me how to run my 'cult' so I'm kinda interested in what a 'cult leader/supposed god' supposed to do
I will find out later...
