This morning, after my daily checkup, Mest looked at me and said ‘You’ve changed, drastically, what happened?’. After explaining exactly what happened to me yesterday he went quiet for a moment before speaking up. There is really no way I can think of to put down what he said without butchering it too badly except for transcribing it, so here we go ‘What you described, or at least part of it, sounds like an evolution, but a very strange one. Not even the most powerful creatures can stay awake during an evolution, even if they normally don’t need to sleep, though you will never evolve when you are in danger, that’s beside the point. I will admit that my knowledge of evolution is lacking, it is not my field of expertise, but I have never heard of a case like yours. In addition, this solar energy you mentioned is even farther from my field of study, I have no idea what to make of it. If you would allow me to invite some of my peers to your home they may be able to give you more information, if you let them examine you.’
Seeing no reason to refuse, I agreed. He ran off to his house, Par’s tribe built it for him, saying he would be back soon with word from them. In the meantime I examined my own body, excluding the changes that can be chalked up to aging, my hair has grown, i’m a tad bit taller, and my chest isn’t completely flat anymore, there weren’t that many outwards changes. The most obvious one would be my skin color, I’ve gotten darker during a time that my skin usually lightens. I didn’t get any time to examine my insides today as after Mest got back Talus didn’t give me a break from her all day, which is definitely not a bad thing.

When Mest did get back it was with surprising news, and again I think I’ll butcher it too badly if I try to butcher it at all. ‘My evolution specialist friend will be here in a week, perhaps sooner if he can pull some strings. In addition, many of my other peers are very interested in your case’. When I asked why that was he responded with this ‘I have been keeping them updated about you, or rather I have been submitting regular reports to my order where you have been mentioned, and they have been reading them. You have been an intriguing case from the beginning, accomplishing several things that are rare to achieve. Until now, however, you haven’t accomplished anything so rare that I have not heard of a similar case, and even then I had never heard of someone accomplish everything you have, and eventually, things can’t be coincidences anymore. So naturally more of my order is becoming interested in your case. But, due to other reasons involving both are internal rules and your rule of this grove and, through Parius, the surrounding lands, none of my order can come without your explicit permission. I ask that you grant that permission to two of my close friends and my younger brother.’
When I asked him to explain why those people, in particular, he explained that they cover most fields I have touched on or he expects I will touch on in the future, in addition to him wanting any boons to come as a result of anything they learn from me to be primarily shared with those close to him. I accepted with a couple stipulations, like I can make them leave at any time, and a couple other things. I will be compensated for this, though i’m not entirely sure how.
Other than that event I had fun playing with Talus all day, and in a bit I will have fun ‘playing’ with Talus.
Anyway, Good Night Diary.
