After I was done I returned home. The day passed quickly with me just gathering mana. I didnt really feel like doing anything.
I went to sleep that night and awoke the next day. I checked how much mana I had and it was 280. Today I decided to watch grand elder go out while sitting under the sun. With a lift of my glasses, I was in the forest along with him. He was currently looking up a tree at some bananas they seemed to be unguarded by any creature. This is why escape ability rings were some of the most valuable. Because the fruits of the forest could be picked without the danger of dying. I saw grand elder string together a series of movements and climb the tree and successfully gather the bananas.
Next, I saw him find a bird's nest in the forest. I watched as he climbed the tree and stuck his hand into the nest retrieving eggs. Once he had them he quickly ran away.I had watched him enough I took of the glasses and went to the cafeteria to eat. We must have ran out of bison as the chef cooked something different today.
I got a plate with berries and deer meat. It must have been a hundred year old deer meat as it boosted my mana regen. I was at 400 mana I decided to eat the berries and they were just delicious they didn't give me anything. I didnt see anyone I knew at the cafeteria so I decided to head home. I wondered to myself what kind of ability ring I should make next.
I knew I couldnt make second teir rings yet. That worked as somebody's second ability ring. I currently kept the sun block ring activated all the time and only switched out when I went to craft.
I studied ability rings more and then I went to bed the next day when I woke up I checked my mana and it was 350. I was going to craft a second their ring so I needed a thousand mana.
I decided that I would go to madisons house. I walked out of my house and down the road. Towards her house I went. As soon as I got there I walked up to the door and knocked.
"I don't want to associate with you today." She said
'What if I bribed you" I said to her
"With what?" She asked. "An ability ring."

"Okay ill come out just wait for me." she said. "Okay" I said to her.
As I waited outside I really wish I had a chair. It took her what seemed like forever to come outside.
"Good morning" She said.
"Good morning" I responded. "So where is this ability ring" she asked. "Straight to the point huh, its right here" I said while taking out the gliding ring. "Its of normal grade" She asked. "I thought it was going to be something special." she said. "It is something special try it out" She unequipped her ring and had me hold it while she equipped the one I brought.
"What does it do?" she asked "You will see just walk." It activated as soon as she started walking. She glided across the ground she looked just like a fairy. "How does it feel I asked. It feels just like normally walking. "Does it look good" she asked.
"It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen " I said with honesty. "Your just being sweet" she said. "No it makes you seem special," I said.
"Let me try it and ill show you." I unequipped my sunblock ring and equipped the gliding ring. I handed it to madison and she carefully studied it and then laughed a little. "Watch me" I said as I took my first steps. I walked for a little bit and I heard a gasp from madison. She had seen it ttoo now.
I walked back madison couldn't take her eyes off of me. "So who should I give this ring to" I asked her. "I have a friend who works in the library who could use it."
"As thanks for you coming outside to talk to me I give this ring to you." I unequipped it handed it to her and requiped sunblock.
"Give it to her next time you see her." I will she said. We talked about stuff until it was lunchtime. I went to the cafeteria and ate a banana and some berries. Then I went home and started building myself a chair I didn't finish until the sun went down and I went to sleep. the next day I had 700 mana.
I decided to go out looting with grand elder. I arrived at the gate at the same time as them. "Hello" I greeted them. "Why do you want to go out today?" Grand elder asked me, I want to dig up some berries bushes and bring them back to plant them inside the outpost.
"Okay that sounds fine" grand elder said. With that we ventured into the first thing I found was a 10 year berry bush. I dug it up put it on my back and had grand elder escort me back. I barely went into the forest to get this. As I walked back through the gates I felt happy. I went directly to morgans house and planted the berry bush against the fence line on her front lawn.
She came out and noticed me. She walked right up and said "Thank you"
"Your welcome is it okay if I put a chair on your lawn too?" I said
"Yes, it's okay if you do," she said "Well I will then."
We talked for a little while I went to the cafeteria and ate a berry salad and then I went home and went to bed. When I woke up I had 876 mana. Today was the last day I had to save mana
