Sorry it's so late.


Jack is resting in a little hole he has dug for himself in the side of the river, when he is hit with one of the many moon rays casting down on the planet J: “Ah. My eye.” Slowly averting his gaze, he fails since he can see from the sides of his head because of his eye positioning. “Ugh. Fine.” Getting out the hole, Jack goes to curl under the trees, before noticing a looming figure in the distance “Uhhhhh…” Blinking quickly and rubbing his eyes, Jack looks again, and there it still is “Uh, that thing is really big, like, really big.” Observing it more carefully, Jack notices that it seems to be moving, bending down, then throwing something over to the side “That bastard! It’s working with those guys isn’t it! It’s trying to free them!” Shaking his head, Jack rethinks a bit “Not that it matters, I would assume most of them are dead anyways.” Looking at the looming figure once more, Jack sighs “I’m going to have to fight it huh? And right now would be the best time to do that… But man, I really just wanted to rest for a couple days, maybe find a way to get some sleep in this body. But nooooo~ I have to fight~ Why can’t I just be lazy…”

Jack stretches his body out, eliciting a few pops from his back “All right, let’s get this over with.” Jack crouches down low, getting closer and studying the creature digging off the dirt covering the barrier. Observing it, it seemed to be wooden in nature, and as he got closer, he realized it didn’t have legs, but instead had thick root-like appendages extending from its base that lay flat at the moment. It Also seemed to be moving the dirt with branches like limbs that come out at seemingly random heights, making it quite hard to actually pick up the loose dirt.

Jack stares at it for a bit, just kinda crouched there in silence, before snapping out of it “It’s a fucking tree! A tree!


Announcement
Hey, so this Chapter has been split into two parts because I am going to be taking a semi-break until the end of December. I've been a bit over cooked with the current upload rate, so I'm slowing it down for a while so I can take a breather, Happy Holidays by the way!
