So... I have decided to take the left path.  
  
This path leads me not only over a mushroom field but also over some rocky ledges and some roots that serve me as lianas.   
  
I don't know if I have ever made such an effort in my current life or in my previous ones.  
but it feels like my biggest physical effort yet. 
However, if there is a way out of here, I will find it.  
  
Surely it can't be that I haven't found a clue as to where I am here.  
  
I hope there are people out there.  
  
I mean, so far I've only seen goblins and an oversized rat. 
 
Well, Caylin must have come from somewhere.  
  
And that nobody has looked for me yet...  
  
I mean, I'm not exactly dressed as someone who is insignificant.   
  
I mean...  
  
Well... you know... have been dressed.  
  
Now these are just a few scraps I've got on.   
  
"Ouch!" 
 
I have just scratched my hand, while climbing, on a rock edge.   
  
-Why does everything always have to hurt so much!  
  
As a tear runs down my cheek, I tried once again to climb.  
  
After a second attempt I manage to climb the rock and was met with the sound of a gentle sound of a water stream.  
  
Close to where I'm standing right now, I see a clear stream. 
How long have I been walking around without something to drink.  
  
My lips are already dry.  
  
I dip my sore hands into it.  
  
What a wonderful feeling.  
  
Cold water flowing between my sore fingers.  
  
Exhausted, I kneel down in front of the water. 
 
After a short moment I bring my two hands together like a bowl and take a sip of the cold water.   
  
Only now do I realize how thirsty I was the whole time, because as soon as I took the first sip, the second and then the third follow.  
  
Just how much I appreciate it now, what it means to have water.  
  
Before I could just go to the water dispenser.   
  
Or ask a servant to bring me something.  
  
-I miss you dad-  
  
Freeing myself from my daydreams, I begin to look at my surroundings.  
  
-how careless I have been- 
Well, I'm really tired of life that I just went to the water but I was just too happy to have found some.  
  
The stream in front of which I kneel is quite small maybe a meter wide and a half deep.  
  
But the water flows quite quickly.  
  
At the edge are various mushrooms including many brown small mushrooms as big as my thumb.  
  
Then there are these luminous mushrooms between them.  
  
And a lot of moss.  
  
I notice that only now.  
  
No matter where you look there is either moss or mushrooms.  
  
In the stream itself are small stones and small roots that rise up to the ceiling.  
  
But otherwise I can not find anything.  
  
No green monsters. 
 
Thank goodness.  
  
Looking down at me slowly, I have to say I look worse than before.  
  
I have scratches all over me both from climbing and from fighting.  
  
Ok... .  
  
This really can't be called a fight.  
  
"Uhh!"  
  
And then I stink so badly of sweat and the fish-blood smell of the goblin.  
  
I look around again, but I can't see any direct danger.  
  
I should take the opportunity and wash myself.  
  
Who knows when I will be able to clean myself up. 
 
Without thinking twice, I put the spear and the claw aside.  
  
I took off the remains of my dress and now stood only in my underwear in front of the stream.  
  
If I have to leave quickly, at least I still wear something.  
  
After all, I can't do it to Caylin to expose myself completely.  
  
Not even I have ever bathed in the open air.  
  
I look into the stream and suddenly I see a person,  
  
-So that's what I look like!  
  
In the reflection of the water I see for the first time my slightly blurry face.  
  
I am really beautiful.  
  
At least under all the dirt.  
  
My white hair that is sticky with all kinds of things.   
  
Beautiful purple eyes.  
  
A small fine round nose.  
  
A slightly angular face but still beautiful.  
  
Fine pink lips that could smile. 
 
Plus, amazingly dark circles under my eyes!  
  
Overall, I am really a beauty, were it not for all the scratches and the clear need for sleep.  
  
First of all, I should wash off the dirt.  
  
Slowly I went into the water and I felt how the stream pulls at my ankles.  
  
- if I am not careful I fall and then I have even more scratches, -  
  
Then I started to wash myself from the bottom of my feet.  
  
All over I have small cuts and bruises.  
  
-I really have to be more careful...  
  
And I've really gotten quite dirty. 
 
There is blood everywhere in my hair, how am I supposed to get it out properly?  
  
Bent over in front, I try with the flow to somehow wash my hair.   
  
After a while I have managed to get myself cleaned up, even though my white hair is still slightly stained red.  
  
Nevertheless, it feels so fabulous to be so clean.  
  
Stepping out of the stream, I notice only now that I have no way to dry myself.  
  
I quickly feel how the cold slowly enters my bones. 
 
-Yup I will probably catch a nice cold.  
  
When I look around, my gaze falls on my clothes and I decide without further delay to wash them as well as possible in the stream.  
  
it took me quite a while to wash them but after a few times wringing out and pull through the stream they already look a little white again.  
  
Now they only have to dry.  
  
At one point I get a very bad feeling in my stomach area.  
  
Since I've been here, I have not relieved myself once.  
  
-ohh crap how am I supposed to do that now?-  
  
Quickly I looked for a not so eye-catching place.  
  
Pulling down my underpants, I see the opposite sex for the first time.  
  
-That's right, my little brother is no longer around. - 
  
The gears in my head begin to rotate as to how I should behave now.  
  
Without really coming to a result, my body acts all by itself.  
  
I have to say it doesn't feel that much different now... .  
  
Except pure relief....  
  
… 
 
 
When I finish my business and there is no toilet paper around...Yes I understand now how that is luxury.... I go to the stream and wash myself.  
  
I really have a smooth butt.  
  
After I'm clean my thoughts circle around where to go from here.  
  
I mean I could wash myself.  
  
I had something to drink.  
  
Now I just need something to eat again.  
  
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a single fish in the stream.  
  
Or any other plant that looked edible.  
  
But to be honest I would like to look around a bit more.  
  
You know, it seems like I'm in a pretty safe place right now.  
  
-aaahhh... don't jinx yourself!-  
  
I probably should get somewhere else now. 
 
I grab my clothes and knot them around my waist.  
  
just like an improvised belt 
  
Its still dripping from the washing but I think it should dry soon.  
  
The claw I put into my improvised belt.  
  
Spear in hand and off I go.  
  
I'll follow the stream for now so I'll always have something to drink.  
  
I should probably go upstream, maybe I can find a way out, somehow the water has to enter the cave.
