I hit a breakthrough in the efforts to restore the trees today. And by that I mean I got to the point when I was producing enough mana that I could actually actively help them, which made it so I could gather mana faster which made everything go quicker and on and on and on. With just a little bit of effort in the morning, I should be back where I was before the attack, if you ignore the trees that were destroyed entirely.

I’ve been thinking. If I want to get my arm back, my real arm I mean, not the wooden one, then I am going to need to rely on either an ancient dungeon or an Origin. I will eventually become an ancient dungeon, but that is something in the range of a thousand years away, sentient creatures haven’t even been around that long yet. And I can’t go looking for one either, I’m tied to this place, I can’t just leave. Origin, on the other hand, are nearly impossible to contact and it’s even harder to get them to do what you want, and on top of that there is maybe a hundred left alive right now, and that number is constantly dropping. To make it even less likely an Origin will come here this place is filled with mana, which would be a death sentence. And again, it’s not like I can seek one out.

There is, however, one Origin that would be more than willing to help me out, and I already have a piece of his soul. The question is whether I want to use one of the nine questions I have to learn how to fix my arm. I know it can’t fix my arm on its own, but it can definitely teach me how to do it myself.

If there is ever a time to use it this is that time, but I’m not sure I even want to. I like having a wooden arm, it’s convenient. There is also the issue of

You know what, I can’t think of another reason not to use a question on this without contradicting myself. Why am I hesitating so much on this, I should just do it and get it over with, not wallow in indecision. As soon as I’m done writing I’m going to ask.

Oh yeah, a lot of the survivors evolved after the fighting was over, some of them into new species even. I’m going to meet with a couple of them tomorrow.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
