It took me almost the whole day, but i finally perfected the Ents. The moment i made the final change something shifted, something changed. I felt myself grow weaker, grow colder, and i was tired in a way i’ve never been tired before, but the Ents stood up, on their own, without any input from me. They couldn’t speak, not in a way that would be recognizable as language anyway, they had vocal cords but no knowledge of how to use them. Despite that, I could understand them, in the same way, I can understand all plants. They called me Mother.

They are loyal, that much is very obvious. They leap to accomplish anything I ask of them, sometimes literally. It was similarly obvious how little control they had over their bodies, like someone learning how to use a tool for the first time, but they learned quickly, and they are incredibly intelligent.

I will learn more of their abilities in the coming days, but for now, i’m tired, and cold, and weak. I want to wrap myself up in a heavy blanket and sleep.

So, Good Night Diary.
