Time sure Flies
----------------------------------------
I once again went into a meditative pose and fall back into the feedback I was getting from my creations in hopes of strengthing the feedback I was getting and if not then it was a good way to pass the time until there are either books or music. Just like that weeks went by with me just sitting there and feeling the feedback of my creations before I felt an influx of energy and I checked the afterlife to see which creation had died it was my other rock elemental her lifespan was a little longer than my first one. It seems like the better I make them the longer the lifespan or it could be something else I would need to test more but my energy doesn't regen fast enough even with the sculptures helping.
I decided to go outside my cave and I found her body next to the other rock elemental, I gave her the same farewell that I gave the other one and turned towards the village as I saw a couple of people looking at what I was doing. I didn't give them a second look and started walking towards the village in hopes of finding the young man from last time after a couple of hours not being able to find him I decided to just go find a tree and see if my powers would work on it. It took me a couple of minutes to get to the tree line and find a decent size tree to experiment with, I put my hand on the tree and activated my power and there was some resistance but no were as much as the lady and I used my power to try and make a tree ent from my last life. It took me a while to figure out how to make it where the roots could come out of the ground and walk and then still go back into the ground and get nutrients from the ground and still communicate with other plants nearby and be able to manipulate them. I tried to make them look like an Ent from LOTR and gave them the knowledge of how to speak English and sign language the last thing I needed to figure out was how to make them reproduce, I decided that they could pick a tree and connect with it at there roots and slowly transform the tree into an Ent, I tried to keep as much of tree biology inside them so they could have a really long lifespan but I have no way to tell yet.
As soon as I was done with my creation I felt the feedback and I immediately felt better under the sun my creation bowed at me and in a terrible gravelly voice said "I thank the creator for giving me life and the creation of my species" in response I gave him a small nod and turned around and saw a bunch of villagers surrounding me and my creation. I saw the young man walk towards me with the spear I gave him in one hand and got on his knees, bowed at me, and started saying "Rathi" before I put my fingers on his horn and used the last of my power to give him the knowledge of the English language and sign language as well before shock and confusion spread across his face.
"Thank you for this gift Rathi I shall treasure it for the rest of my life" and he bowed even lower with his horn almost touching the dirt.
"Raise your head, young man, it was because of the sculpture that I gave you Any of my gifts in the first place and the only reason I gave you the gift of language is so I can talk to you, I do not care if you share the gift with a few or with everyone as that is up to you but if anyone learns it on there own then they have earned the right to speak it as they please." in a really childish voice as even if I have been getting feedback it isn't enough to age my body fast enough and I was lucky that my body was strong enough to speak in the first place and that my power could affect other living being as I really didn't want to even try to learn their langue regardless of all the linguists or consequences.

"I understand Rathi, I will only share it with thoughs you have blessed so we may all understand your words" said the young man. I was a little confused if that meant everyone was going to learn English or only people I have done anything to but honestly I really didn't care all that much. I turned around and my creation started coming out of the ground very slowly and left to wander the woods making sure that the forest was growing healthy, I had created him with that in mind as I do not want this world to become like my last one I want this world to be a world of fantasy, wonder, and adventure even if it takes thousands of years I will make it like that and some modern stuff as well as I do not know how long I can stand the smell of shit and piss in the village and the mud covering everyone.
"Follow me as we have much to talk about and I don't like everyone watching me" I started walking towards the cave not bothering to look and see if he was following me or not. I sat down next to the sculptures that the young man had made and saw that he copied how I was sitting and waited for me to go first. "First of all how did you make these?" I said as I pointed toward the sculptors and waited for him to respond. "I made them with a bone of a deer that I had hunted on my coming of age ceremony and parade to you as I carved" I looked at him to see if he was lying or not but I doubted it "What about the second one did you do anything different?" he shook his head no. "Is there anyone else having a coming-of-age ceremony or kept a bone sturdy enough to sculpt another sculpture?"
"I'm sorry Rathi the next coming-of-age ceremony is until the child you blessed becomes 14 winters old and all the other children fell ill and died last winter and there are only a couple of other women that are pregnant but aren't ready to give birth for a whole session and I was the only one in my group to keep a bone to use as the rest went to the tribe as decoration" I let out a long sigh at being told this, as I would have to wait 14 years if my next plan doesn't work. "I want you to get someone else to try and sculpt another statue and if it isn't like yours then I won't give out any blessing but if it is like yours then I will give out as big of a gift to your tribe as making the Ent" I said to the young man but didn't expect it to work as my power was telling me it had to be done like how the young man did, he made, gathered, and killed everything by himself, during a ceremony that was celebrated by everyone and that's what made it special enough for him to pray while carving to make my power recover faster and not just carving me and anything would have worked but they had to have made it by hand and by themselves.
A week passed by since my talk with the young man and as I expected nothing worked afterward I told him exactly how I wanted the coming-of-age ceremony to continue from now on, there were some protests from the older people but the young man dealt with it and I blessed him with better eyesight and any children he may have will also have his blessing except the horns, as I kinda wanted the horns to be a symbol of my blessing. When I had enough energy I tried making another rock elemental and making it last longer than a week, slowly I was having more and more success with each try.
