Spiral Island

Looking at the whole Forest, you will find that all of the trees and plants are so lush and have a vigorous vitality.

A different plant that bears a fruit that is full of vitality - fresh and sweet fruit.

And if you pay attention as a whole to this forest, you're not gonna find a poisonous fruit or plant for a reason that this forest gives birth to feed and shelter the next inline generation of FishWheel.

But because it's not in the undersea that this forest underwent a mutation, an intentional change for a chance to pay the favor of the ancestors' fishwheel, that a millennium of years pass by - but didn't come.

But this mutation is without risk. For every chance you want, a price that must be paid.

A restriction that was imposed by rules of heaven or the world itself, even though no one noticed that this forest didn't enlarge and grow its territory.

Because of the hardness of its different trees and plants, its power to extend and spread its pollen was decreased to the limit.

Therefore it multiplies slowly and can't extend its boundary, and one of its biggest flaws is - the half of its roots were specifically placed in the core of the island, to give its purified water with a minimal essence of the forest.

Poured in a raindrop ceiling underground to the pond of fiswheel eggs while the rest of the root is gathering water from soil or the river that flows in the middle of the forest.

For the eyes of many, it's an action of repaying the gratitude or a lunatics' dream, but for the goal of the forest, no one knows.

The whole island has the shape of an oblong and the river cuts it in a slant upward and in the middle of it is the forest, like an egg but was cut by the water.

On the front shore you will find a neat lineup of fishing boats, and in the far distance is the whole village.

Half of it was destroyed and half were still intact but the scattered things feel like a burglar got inside and searched for all the things that it can rob.

At the backshore of the island, the other villagers are helping Silo, pulling out Zito in the sea and checking his pulse and breathing.

They sigh of relief when they find that Zito is okay and it's just unconscious, Silo and the others put Zito in a ready-made stretcher.

In the middle of the forest, Chief Geez and Mother Riz guide all of the villagers walking out of the forest.

The other villagers felt relieved and the tension they felt was gone.

Instead, they smiled and chatted while walking.

The children were chasing each other and laughing.

"I am the FishWheel and I'm going to eat you! Grawrrr"

"Ahhh! Help me!"

Little Jas put a twig of a branch in the tree in her hand and pointed to the kid who personates a fishwheel "Worry not! I am the guardian of the forest! I will protect you!"

Playing to their heart's content that Old Geez and Mother Riz smiled at this heartwarming scene.

In the Underground of the forest, you will find a pond with a raindrop falling to its surface, in the pond you will find not many fishes swimming around.

At the bottom of the pond, you'll see that there are so many glittering like pearls underneath a white silk mucus, no one tried to dive into the pond because for the villagers it is an unforgivable crime for the island and the forest.

Inside of this many pearls a vitality and life reside that shake every minute and second, that want to struggle free to these shackles that stop them.

All of this information keeps pouring like an unstoppable tsunami in the mind of Dan, who is still unconscious.

Dan's unconsciously twisted his face because of the pain, but the information is still pouring inside his mind.

The minute detail of the leaves, the ant colony that gathers foods for the incoming rainy season or the birds that feed their offspring.

The fishes that dive to its coral reefs - you will locate it under the sea, 25 miles away from the shore and many more - all of this information of the entire island keep pouring into the young brain of Dan.

Periphery of the Forest

While playing with the other kids and slashing the incoming kid who is acting as a fishwheel, she slashed the twig in her little hand.

"Grawwrr! A little sword and woman dare to stand in front of me!? a mighty fishwheel - I'll use my rotating technique!"

The kid spun itself towards her and she slashed again to the incoming attack.

"No! my guardian will lose!"

"I'll bet my life to protect you, villagers, I will support you!"

The twig in the little hands of Little Jas was snapped in the middle.

"Ahhh! My divine sword was destroyed! I called for a time break! I'll find a sword, wait!"

Little Jas immediately looked around the vicinity and found one besides Dan, she ran and took it.

While she's going to run back, her sight falls to Dan who is lying in the cart with the raw foods wrapped in clothes.

She was shocked and she shouted in panic "Mother! Pate is bleeding!"

Dan's current image is quite gruesome that she can't take it and she panics and runs to Mother Riz.

Dan is bleeding in his seven orifices and his face was twisted, suffering in and endless pain deep in his soul.

Old Geez and Mother Riz ran and took a look at the situation of the child.

Old Geezer squatted beside Dan and feel the pulse of Dan, "His pulse is too fast. I don't think this is a hemorrhage, all of you who can't help just distance yourself to give a space of breathing. Please help me put these foods away from Pate! quick!"

Old Geez and Mother Riz tried their best, Old Geez loosened the clothes but after that, he didn't know what to do next.

He clenched his fist, he felt helpless, even though he didn't know this kid.

But watching a kid dying in front of you 'Fuck, God help him'
