6 years later ...

Three years passed but Zaho appearance didn't change as he still looked exactly like when he met Sebastian for the first time. he still was 105 cm tall with black eyes.

The only thing that grew was his hair as now they were long enough to touch his shoulders.

He, as usual, he got up from his bed and left the room without even glance at Sebastian who was still sitting there as usual and started running in the same direction as he did during all these three years.

As he was leaving he said: "I will definitely eat something today"

just as he was about to disappear in the forest he heard "You won't" which stopped him in his tracks.

He went back in front of his house and looked at Sebastian to whom he rarely talked and asked "Why did you say that? I can go as far as 15km it should be enough to find something"

Sebastian looked at him with pity and responded: "The closest food is in the opposite direction ..."

Zaho: " oh .. okay!" he turned back quickly looked at the path he took for three consecutive years and on which you could see how much it was used as his round trip had created a visible earthen path.

Zaho didn't care much about it as he started walking the opposite way, his proud tears started flowing on his courageous looking face and a bright smile was formed by his twitching lips 'F*cking old man! I will definitely cut you into pieces and bury you in this forest to pay you my respect'.

Heard his thought Sebastian responded: "Hey you never asked... and ignored me all this time ..."

As Zaho was getting farther and farther away, and even though he was still getting injured just as much as three years ago, his speed, on the other hand, was much faster, it increased by about 10 times and he did not fall any more from losing balance.

In these three years, he adapted his body to always keep the balance even when losing arms or legs he just readjusted his gravity center without decelerating the only moment he paused was when his head got separated and he totally and lost control of the body.

Even though the energy stored in his body every day did not solve his hunger problem it helped to improve his physical abilities and senses, each step he took could propel him about ten meters and he could feel a fresh breeze on his face, but even though he could see farther and hears and better to the point of hearing a leafs falling few hundred meters from him.

He still couldn't find what was attacking him, as all he could notice was that the injuries were caused by different kinds of attacks: being cuts, crushed libs, piercing blows and even poisoned.

As he was exploring this new path he focused his vision to perceive any different tree that could bear fruits or even shrubs with berries after a few hours of running as the sky was darkening he finally perceived what looked like an apple tree 30 km from his position.

'Good I finally found something to eat too bad with my abelites I can't get to it yet' he didn't even think about going this far as he knew the consequences of staying at night.

He tried it once in the first month when he first arrived at this forest and he clearly remembered the pain he endured and the feeling of being powerless not even able to move a few centimeters he had to stay outside all night while his body being totally disintegrated and reconstituted not even able to lose conscience. that was definitely by far the worst experience in his short life and he learned his lesson from it.

'I should not be impatient it should take me 3-4 years to be able to safely reach that tree, at least now I have an objective! ...I have hope!'

Just as he estimated during the next three years he kept running in different directions improving his abilities and discovering the forest.

In the first year, he created a map of all the places he could reach.

In the second he started following his instinct as he started to feel whenever he was going to get injured

In the third year, he could feel clearly where he will get injured but he still didn't have a reaction speed, nor a speed fast enough to avoid being injured.

And just like that, it took him 3years and 2month to travel 50 km in 6 hours which allowed him to finally reach the fruit tree.

'6 years I will finally eat after 6 years' thought Zaho
