Mychael - Mushroom oasis

You're looking for your kitty, you spent weeks trying to find him, asking around, putting up signs in the neighborhood, nothing until you decided to look in the woods, you caught your cat a few times around here watching the birds, it was your last option anyway. ──────────── Friday

After heading into the woods searching through the trees with nothing but a compass, treats for your cat, your phone, and a bottle of water, it didn't take long for you to realize that it hadn't been the best idea, hours went by with no sign of your cat, the water had run out, the compass wasn't working, and you definitely didn't remember your way back. You walked between several bushes and trees, tiredness got the better of you and as soon as you tripped over some branches you fell to the ground, you didn't know where you were, you were hungry, you couldn't find your cat, when you saw something among the leaves on the ground, you approached what looked like a coin on the ground, when you looked closely it was your cat's collar among what looked like a cluster of mushrooms, you quickly picked it up hoping to have a sign of your pet although you were very tired and couldn't take it anymore, you took it and accidentally stepped on the cluster of mushrooms camouflaged among the leaves and branches, to your misfortune, a small cloud of spores came off it along with the collar. A strong smell of rotten wood and damp earth penetrated your nostrils as you approached to pick up the necklace, you stood up trying to get away from that smell but as you advanced it seemed to get worse, it was as if it had permeated your clothes, little by little you began to stagger, your eyes soon succumbed to fatigue and your legs did the same, you fell to the ground almost unconscious, in the last conscious seconds you heard a voice.

???: Oh no... I'm sorry this happened to you, little one. But it is the will of the forest, that you rest in peace... Mh? What, a human? How did you end up here so far away? Ah, God, I can't leave you here. What should I do?

You woke up minutes later, you don't even remember the exact moment you fell unconscious, you weren't at home, you seemed to be covered with a warm blanket, you looked out of the corner of your eye at what seemed to be a cabin, or the roof of one, but where were you? You tried to move but it was useless, your body didn't respond. Then you heard footsteps approaching you, a strange boy approached you, you were surprised by his strange appearance, his weird bumps on his forehead caught my attention as they looked like mushrooms, not to mention the green skin and those strange pointy ears. I didn't have time to analyze it further before the stranger spoke.

??? : You're awake! That's good, very very good. How are you feeling?... Oh sorry, I forgot about that. Don't worry, this will help you feel better I promise. Drink up!

He said kindly, I blinked a few times before the boy gave me a glass with a liquid, the taste was familiar to me, it was like berries and some chamomile and I would even say some mint, little by little I recovered and I could feel the liquid on my taste buds when I was able to move I sat on the bed resting my hands on the sides lightly squeezing the sheets under me while he looked at me nervously seeming attentive to each of my movements.
