A bird crying out in the distance awoke Harris from his slumber. The cool darkness that surrounded him drained him, he needed to have breakfast, or else he'd just fall back to sleep.

Outside of Harris' little coven, the forest rested peacefully, blissfully unaware of the protector amongst them. Suddenly a creaking and a snapping broke through the air, a tree began shaking in the wind, snapping and letting off leaves and bark as it did. The snapping grew louder, more frequent with every passing second, the tree shook ever faster.

Finally, it shattered like so much glass, debris flying across the landscape as the tree's southern half was ripped asunder. From within stepped out Harris. The sun was bright for so earl in the morning, at least he thought it was early, he didn't have a watch or anything. He stepped into the sun's warm embrace and felt his body grow satiated, devouring the sunlight andharvesting it to produce sugars, those which fueled him.

He had little planned for the day, it wasn't as if he had anything to look forward to. Lifting his right arm, he sharpened a finger and carved into the bark-like flesh of his arm.

[i]"Day 127, I appreciate the freedom my new form has given me, but i have no reason to pursue anything, I feel complacent, perhaps a bit of experimentation would do me well"[/i]

[i]Experiment log 1: Hypothesis; considering the fact that I seem to be able to cause hyperactive growth in plant life, and my body appears to now be 100% plant based, it makes sense for me to be able to regrow limbs, hopefully I am correct, though considering the wounds I had received prior to becoming... this, it is doubtful i lack the ability.

Procedure: Step one: sever left arm at elbow. Step two: attempt to regrow arm.

Results: my arm was successfully regrown within moments, almost as if it hadn't been lost.

Experiment log 2: Hypothesis; my ability to regrow limbs and cause hyperactive growth in plant life suggests that I have control over other forms of life. My hallucinations suggested this is limited to plant life, but perhaps it is not.

Procedure: Step one: approach bear. Step two: attempt to control bear.

Results: this was a poor idea. I suffered horrible wounds and was forced to kill the bear when my attempts at control failed, my ability is henceforth limited to plant life.[/i]

Harris sighed. Two experiment and little learned that he didn't already know, and an innocent creature died due to it. He was always a failure, a fluke, his life was nothing but a series of mistakes up to this point. He gritted his teeth and stood. He might as well go look around, perhaps he could find something to distract himself with.

Well that day was a waste.

Harris thumped down onto the ground, resting his head upon his fist. He had done nothing but bore himself and experiment fruitlessly. He tore off the plate from his arm and placed it within the tree with the others, the journal was all thst kept him from losing his mind. He could go into town, but he wasn't in the mood to sneak around. So he climbed back into the tree and resealed it, he fell asleep immediately afterwards.
