The Story Continues.... I made it out of the evil fairy's woods, but now I'm not sure how to get back to my precious forest. "Oh Great Spirit, please lead me home!" As I wander through the ocean of trees, I hear movement ahead of me. I leaped with excitement, hoping it could be a friend that can help me, but I simple found myself in a small opening between the trees with no sight of anyone or thing around. In disappointment, I sighed to myself and sat down on the dry brown grass beneath me. Then a shadow of a large bird flew by! I looked up with a hopeful grin, but saw nothing. As I slowly lowered my head, suddenly a shiny object dangled right before my eyes. It was a purple gemstone on a golden necklace dangling from my antlers. "Where did you come from?" I analyzed the gemstone closely, but came to no final conclusion to what it was for or where it came from. The shadow of a great bird flew passed again, but this time landed high on top of a tree. From where I sat, I could see it as clear as day and it that I knew the Great Spirit had answered my prayer. In that moment I knew the Great Spirit was leading me forward, but how and where. "I hope he's leading me back home. But what's with the gemstone?" At once I finished my sentence, the great bird screeched and flew away. "No Wait! Don't leave me here alone!" I suddenly found myself chasing the silhouette of the bird further into the woods, not knowing where I was being lead to.

Story Continuation...... Where have I been? Was I asleep? How much time has passed? I find myself in a dark corner of the forest that I've never ventured into be, and for good reason. Evil creature lurk in the sickly woods, no birds or other well-natured animal live here and no fresh fruits/veggies grow here. Then why am I here? I slowly sat up to look around about me. I tried to stand up, but my legs were tough and stiff from long lack of movement. This wasn't good at all cause I'm completely vulnerable. What has happened to me? Then a breeze went by cause me to sneeze. It was then I saw sparkling dust fall from my face. I wiped some of it off, but my questions had suddenly been answered. FAIRIES! They must've put a sleeping spell on me which makes sense why I cannot move. I had to have been in a death like sleep for at least a year or so. *sigh* Well, I won't be going anywhere fast. I still have my bow and arrows as protection, but what about food? Oh gosh, then I must get my body stretched as soon as possible before those fairies get back.

YAY! Congrats!!!!!

*CHALLENGE UPDATE - Day ??* I know it's week 6, but I lost count of the days. This past weekend has been extremely difficult from being sick and having my online class finals. I got through it alright, but I felt completely miserable in the process. Things are definitely getting brighter cause I had a job interview this morning and I got the position! It still hasn't fully sunken in yet. I'm still getting over feeling sick, too. Anywho, when it comes to sticking to my missions...I've done overall okay. Which isn't bad at all! But I've realized that I crave a daily reward or affirmation whenever I complete a challenge that had originally caused my much anxiety. It's usually either food or shopping. I switch back & forth alot cause when I'm disciplining myself with what I eat, I crave to go buy myself something as a reward. And visa versa! I'm so much lead by my emotions; it's exhausting.
