This morning was pretty quiet. Willow had gotten up early to pester Mest into giving her lessons and Tiddol and Par had snuck off somewhere. So it was just me and Thes.

We ended up talking for awhile and I got to know him better. He wasn’t very articulate but he seemed to enjoy talking and when I could get him to talk about something beyond a grunt he would talk at length. He’s a wild man through and through, born in a forest he grew stronger hunting and fighting with others near and above his own strength. Eventually, he gained sentience and then learned to use weapons, eventually deciding on the axe as his weapon of choice.

Another noteworthy fact is his favorite color, it’s vibrant pink.

For a little while, I watched as Willow practiced controlling the wind just outside of the grove. For a while, she didn’t really seem to be getting the hang of it. Then all at once, the wind picks up incredibly quickly and a tornado forms. Based on the wide eyed smile on Willow’s face, she was controlling it. She then got really excited and stop paying attention to it, luckily it dispersed instead of continuing un controlled. I had a similar event happen when I first started learning how to feed the trees, only without a tornado.

Out of all of us, Mest seemed most amazed, based on the fact that he started to ramble about something that no one else understood. Eventually, we managed to get him to explain what he was saying. Apparently, Willow isn’t a wind sprite, she's a storm sprite.

From there Willow made a lot of progress towards controlling her power at the behest of Mest. managing to create miniature storms in the palm of her hand. They are honestly pretty cool to watch, though her accidentally hitting me with a tiny lightning bolt wasn’t fun. She seemed apologetic so ultimately I forgave her after a brief lecture.

During down time I worked on the puzzle cube while feeding the trees. I made a bit of progress, and at this rate, I should finish it within ten days.

I’m excited to see where she can take her powers, and it gives me an idea for a project. I wonder how small I can create a thriving ecosystem, plants would be easy for me to manipulate, but I’m going to have to learn how to manipulate other creatures as well. I don’t know if I can do it, but I'm going to try.

Anyway, it’s time for bed. So good night Diary.
