Poppy

give me an honest feedback plz thankyou

"There were so many, all glittering with white light, with each flash seeming like they were speaking - either to me, or each other. There was one that was most mesmerizing among them, dwarfing the luster of the others. That one - that one was truly breathtaking - it was bright, cold, and eternal. I asked my grandfather - your great, great grandfather, what those things were and he told me those were the gods that guide and protect us, and he told me that I was damn lucky to have seen it once in my life, as he has never seen them in his lifetime. I remembered about the brightest one - he told me that one was the head of the gods. From that day on I was obsessed and tried to find out more about them, even venturing forth to the unknown territory, but I wasn't able to find anything important, I did however find out that they had names! Cool, huh? Even gods have names!" I looked at him with bright glistening eyes, smiling wide while I climb up onto his lap and said "Poppy, do you think I'll be able to see them at least once?!" my grandfather grinned to the point it reached his ears and said "Yes, Sirius, you will."

My grandfather, or poppy as I called him, has always been forgetful - yet somehow he remembers that damned story, and other things related to those "gods", and I have to suffer through the thousands of times he's told his story. It piqued my curiosity the first few times, but if someone tells you something thousands of times - hell even a few times, you get tired of it. But for the sake of my poppy, I'll never forget it and even have my children - if I have any, suffer from my never ending stories.

I don't know much about my world. That's an overstatement because I don't know ANYTHING about my world. All I know is that I live in a big forest, like really fucking big, to the point where even if you travel in one direction for your entire life, you still won't make it out of the forest. The village I live in is called "Hearth", it has a population of roughly 5 thousand people - how do I know that you ask? Well, not to brag, but I'm damn smart. Anyway, there are only 4 other villages in this forest, and all of us are not very friendly to each other. What makes it worse is that there are less and less resources each year. Surprisingly though, there has been no blood shed between the villages, and instead the elders of each village are going to hold meeting to unify each village, expand into the unknown territory - and rumor has it that if the meeting is successful, they will make a proper exploration team for the first time and send them out to find a way out of the forest. This is all in an optimistic view though, because realistically at least one or two villages will refuse, and each village has had bad blood between each other, so maybe a battle might even happen, which is kind of exciting to be completely honest.

Outside of the villages is the unknown territory, danger lurks in every corner, and there are many monsters and beasts. While I haven't encountered any danger yet because I never step foot outside the village except once or twice, I've seen some - but they were dead so they didn't really count, but let me tell you, it was DAMN scary, imagine if it was alive. I give respect to you warriors, truly, to kill something like that is amazing. I would never have the courage to do so.
