Thoughts

Zaho looked at the tree, the fruits that grew on it looked like blue apples, after considering the time he took to arrive at the tree, he estimated that he could at most stay there for 5 more minutes before heading back.

He quickly plucked the nearest fruit and ate it. He didn't take the time to savor the taste as he ate it in one bite. just as he swallowed it he felt strange, as it has been more than 6 years that he didn't eat anything.

Just like breathing, eating becomes an instinct to any human being, you can imagine the satisfaction you feel breatheng after a few minutes of apnea, so just think about not eating for more than 6 years.

Tears of relief started flowing on his cheeks for the first time an angelic smile that originated from the bottom of his hearth appeared.

As he didn't eat for a long time his body got some internal bleeding but it got healed just like all his other injuries get instantly healed.

Zaho didn't feel any pain as he was accustomed to much worse, he ignored everything even the inexplicable injuries as he could do nothing about it.

After a few minutes, he plucked a few more fruits and started heading back, he wasn't too greedy because he knew he could come back here tomorrow, there were still few hundred fruits on this tree alone, and several trees of the same kind in the surrounding.

Once back at his home he stopped on histoire track, looked at Sebastian who was at his usual spot bellow the tree looking at the sky, feeling Zaho staring at him, Sebastian looked back at him and smiled.

Sebastian: "Congratulation! you finally reached a milze tree we can talk later go rest first"

Zaho hesitated for a few seconds then nodded before heading to the room. he felt like his brain was overheating with hundreds of questions popping in his mind and not enough time to sort them out.

Once inside, he ate another fruit but this time he took his time to savor and ate it slowly, the taste wasn't that good it was even bitter but Zaho didn't care he was carving to it for more than 6 years.

As he was eating he started thinking about all the things that bothered him, all sorts of questions started popping in his head.

"It's been 6 years since I came to this forest, and all I did was running and getting injured ..why didn't I care about it until today? why was I behaving this strangely? I could have talked to Sebastian to have a few answers about what was hurting me in the forest? he saved my life and I'm grateful to him but how come I realize this only today? was my mental state always this abnormal ?"

"Is this fruit special? or is it just that hunger had this much effect on my mentality without me realizing it? "

"My body didn't change appearance except for my hair growing, I sill look just like a regular 6-year-old boy? how come it didn't bother me until today? shouldn't I be around twelve years old? is this related to the energy that improves my body ?"

"Priorities first ... what do I want? I clearly don't like being hurt but I hate even more the feeling of being powerless not even able to move and control my destiny. it should be the reason behind me acting the way I did... I could no longer die thanks to Sebastian so all I wanted was to be in control of what I do while I'm alive, and what I chose was to act without reasoning only following my instinct and impulses."

"What should I do from now on? hum...This life doesn't belong to me anymore as I own too much to Sebastian, so I need to compensate him enough if I want to my freedom, I will have to talk to him tomorrow."

Without realizing it Zaho fell asleep thinking about all the different questions that deranged him and also about his future for the first time in more than 6 years.
