War, Love, and Carbonemys

CH.2 PT.1

Vir's POV

I wake up and stretch while sitting in my bed. I yawn and look around my little home. I was proud of my work, it was sturdy. I get out of my bed and look at my feet. I need to get some clothes made, I can worry about it today, I still have a lot to do. I leave my house and go down to the ocean and drink some water. It wasn't salty surprisingly, to be honest, it was refreshing. I gather some berries from a bush and eat them. They were surprisingly sweet.

I grab the rest of the plant for fiber and put it in my pockets. I will need to make a pack of some sort to hold stuff. I see a big lizard and it just keeps walking. I follow him and see a dilo that was injured. I quickly get to work and get a piece of wood and pull out my fiber.

I approach the dilo carefully, but it hisses at me in response. I put my hands up and try showing that I wasn't a threat. I approach it more and it flays it's flaps on the side of it's head. I look at it and begin speaking. "I know you don't trust me, but I want to help. I won't hurt you, I promise," I tell it. I probably looked stupid for trying to talk to a dinosaur.

I finally got to approach it and make a splint for it's leg. I pick it up and carry it to my house, but let it stay outside. I kill a chubby bird and offer it some of the raw meat. The dilo must've been hungry as well cause he ate it quickly. I give him the rest and kill another chubby bird, I couldn't remember what they were called.

I cook the meat I got on my fire and look at the dilo that was sleeping. I stay up the whole night to protect my little friend. I pet his head and look at the stars. This place wasn't home, but I'd rather stay in this world. I close my eyes, not planning on falling asleep, but sleep won the fight and I fall asleep.

(Thx for reading, and I hope you're enjoying my story so far. I'll try to make more as frequently as I can. The first part is in the snail)
