It was getting late so me and Lily decided to get dinner before dark. We walked for about 5 minutes until we ended up at a river.

"Here's my water supply," Lily said bravely.

I put my hands in the cold river, filling them with water. Quickly I brought it up to mouth, where then I sucked it from my hands. The cold water flushed down my body, leaving me refreshed.

"Don't do that, you'll get sick from the germs on your hands," Lily immediately said.

"How do I drink then?" I asked, feeling confused.

"Here use this," Lily replied, handing me a cup made of leaves.

I took the cup of leaves that where tightly woven together.

"Where did you learn how to make this?" I asked.

"My Dad showed more before he died."

There was a moment of silence before I whispered, "I'm sorry."

Lily shrugged and we carried on.

"So, what do you feel like? There's fish, fruit, vegetables, and more fish until we explore the forest more."

"How about fish and vegetables," I replied, feeling hungry already.

We grabbed salmon as they swam up stream. To be honest, it was extremely hard.

Then, we got some herbs for on top of the fish and mushrooms (yes we did know that they where edible).

... ... ...

We arrived back at the cave and threw the food down our system.

Feeling satisfied, yet again I curled up in a ball next to Casper and slowly drifted off to sleep.
