Chapter 49

The animal …

I’m getting kind of sick of calling it that. Shit I don’t even know it’s gender or if it even has one. This a foreign world biology here could work in a vastly different way than it did back on earth.

Whatever I’ll just call it jade. Jade as in that animal is jaded. Shitty name and kind of on the nose, but at least its gender neutral.

oh no, naming things is the first sign of getting attached…

Is it even wise to be naming something that could die brutally in a fire?

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Ugh.

Anyways I brought up… Jade, because they haven’t moved at all after collapsing. I hope it drank some of the water. Who knows how depressed it is. When I was in a bad way the last thing on my mind was water or heavens forbid food.

Thank god … which is a phrase I should consider dropping, that the fire has slowed down its crawl.

All I really needed was a strong wind to blow that bitch some other direction and all, well most, of my extremities and resources will go un-scorched.

Even if the fire doesn’t, with the extra time the mist spores buy me I might figure something out that’ll help me keep both Jade and Buttons alive.

Speaking of keeping jade alive… if I leave a trail of water puddles towards the water source I could keep the little bugger alive for a while longer.

I went ahead with it. This unfortunately couldn't be replicated with Buttons cuz obviously the damn thing was rooted.

As a human I could have uprooted the thing easily and moved it out of the way before the fire could make its way their but why would I in thousand years ever want to do that as a human?

I had to find some other way to save my little buttons.
