Mehmet scouted around forest again this time to have a nice path to run marathons at full speed. He found logs and branches to make tools and weights for his training.

“Orbryn said night is dangerous in forest so I need to carry some logs to peak of mountain to exercise.”

He ran 2 hours marathon around forest while scouting while avoiding tracks of big predators.

He broke branches from trees that broken and fallen from storms, gathered flax-like plant he learned from Shiure. He went back to mountain with all things he gathered and put down everything he gathered and made more laps while gathering.

“How come I am not tired to run while carrying 50kg log to peak of a mountain, This is best.”

He was not tired but hungry he ate fruits and nots he gathered and made a bow and arrows with things he gathered. Mehmet is a dexterous and handy man has hobbies about survival camps, going hunts, he liked making things at wild like bows. He made ropes with barks he peeled of from branches and logs. He sharpened one log and a lot of branches, made a punching log, spear, javelins. After he done he went and hunted a goat with javelins he made. He dismantled and made bone tools and take sinews to use as better bowstrings, he took a big piece of leather and made a cloak out of it. He roasted meat and ate it with sky eagle baby again.

After sunset and moon risen, he started to exercise with tools he made, he punched a log half an hour lifted weights did some hit-cardio, push-ups with logs on his back. He only slept when Shiure warned him its midnight.

In the morning he ventured the forest from opposite direction and scouted that area and mapped in his mind. He was acting like Tarzan and jumping around trees he was literally enjoying the forest.

“Yes It is refreshing I just want to spend energy and jump around.”

He found caverns with unholy energy that do not suit the forest, he found a lake and other locations of interest but he thought some of them dangerous and decided he only can go in those when he became able to use ki at least. He went lake and replenished his water. He saw blue lights above the lake. While he was admiring how beautiful lake is under lights he thought this world really beautiful.

“It is really a lot of ways to get strong in this world. Please tell me details about it when I start to learn refining nature energy.”

He saw animals doing hunts or, some territorial fights. The most interesting one hunt of a lizard as big as dog trying to eat a mantis as big as a big cat. Mantis caught lizard with its sickles, one sickle in front of its mouth other right under its neck. It killed the lizard by slashing It’s throat and ate it whole.

“God damn that was some comeback, I wonder in Earth these things happen too.”

He found some little normal caves to hide from storms or rain and lightning. He made doors with branches and bushes some of them because Orbryn said there is disasters here are frequent events.

He was seen by wolves while he was on the trees once but they could not climb on tree so they did not do anything only looked. There was one among them bigger than others and looked like it is an albino individual. It is white and had reddish eyes, it looked Mehmet quite a long time before going away. He jumped on different trees and went his way as well.

The wind got stronger slowly and Shiure warned him.

He did not see any tornado in horizon but he still run to little cave he made to take refuge.

“I made it just an hour ago an it became necessary right away.”

He saw Gray on the way as well, when Gray saw him as well it jumped to his side and started run together with him. He arrived to cave in 15 minutes of running and took refuge in it. He did not like sitting in dark motionless so he made a little opening to make inside brighter a bit.

“What should I do while I am waiting to windstorm come and go? Maybe I should think about Nature and have my own understanding like Orbryn said. Shiure What do you think about Nature? What is Nature in your opinion?”

“Survival of the fittest? I do not think that can be law of God of Nature sees as suitable. That thought excludes intelligent species like humans from nature. Humans can have malicious intent and destroy everything they see. If we accept survival of the fittest then we need to accept a tyrant burning forests just for fun of it and judging from our conversation with Orbryn, God of Nature would not see that as an acceptable behavior. That rule only applies beasts of nature.”

“That feels off as well, If we act like that, means we do not see or acknowledge power and might of the nature. I experienced that power with my own body, even when something like “Nature energy” did not exist, the nature was powerful that is not something humans can destroy unintentionally while living.”

“I think those are empty concerns born because we could not observe the whole cycle. Lets think about plants and CO2, according to what I know about biology, when CO2 is less at atmosphere and air is more humid like that of archaic times, plants needs open their pores to take CO2 inside and that makes them lose water inside them. Then after we made CO2 levels rise that will make planet warmer and drier, this time plants do not need open pores and lose water in them then they will adapt and increase in number in dry places. There was even forest fires burned a lot of forests but I think last 30 years green even increased in different places of planet because of it as long as we take caution and pour toxic things in nature cycle nature is strong enough to recover from it. I am not sure because The Earth got destroyed before I can see it is true or not.”

“I think so, Orbryn said God of Nature do not care about what you do so much. I think that was what he meant by that. I think we have to understand that we are part of nature as well.

Nature is not frail but robust, nature has power enough to sustain billions of lives but also have enough power to kill all of them. Everything has its system of cycle souls dies and reincarnate, bodies dies and fertilize other lives. water air and everything has its order of cycle. Then nature is not just a benevolent order or a tyrannical catastrophe its both.

Mehmet did not know how all this ideas will help him get stronger but he had free time so he thought lets do as Orbryn said and think about it.

There was sound like a kid laughing outside with noise of wind. Wind was pretty strong and there is no way there is a kid outside. That wind would throw anyone up and down.

“What is this voice?”

“Haha.. They know how to enjoy life.”
