I couldn't believe my luck when I stumbled upon those freshly baked brownies outside. The aroma was inviting, but there was something off about them - a strange smell that piqued my curiosity. Following the trail of brownies led me to a pile of 107 of them, along with a note from someone named Esraniki.
The note mentioned a treehouse and seemed to be thanking me for the shrimp donations I had made earlier. It also mentioned rough moments and death avoidance, which honestly sent chills down my spine. But there was also mention of good luck and help through tough times.
As I approached the treehouse, another note awaited me inside - this time addressed specifically to "Kellin". The note signed off as Ariral and hinted at some sort of partnership or assistance in navigating this supposedly evil place.
Finding a hand-stitched doll resembling myself only added to the mystery surrounding these newfound allies or potential threats. With two craft present at the treehouse, it seemed safe to assume that there were at least two individuals residing here.
The name "Ariral" stuck with me as I pondered what their intentions could be towards me. Were they truly seeking help? Or did their presence pose a threat that needed careful consideration?
Regardless, finding this makeshift home in the form of a treehouse felt like stumbling upon an unexpected gift amidst uncertainty and fear. As always, my scientific curiosity urged me on despite any lingering doubts or apprehensions.
Whoever these mysterious beings are - whether friend or foe - they have certainly sparked both intrigue and caution within me. Only time will tell what lies ahead in our interactions...
