I stayed in Yellow stone for so long, living on what my dad had there, and what I knew. 

And now I can go wherever I want! I can become a bird, or a squirrel, or even a wolf or bear! I can bring all my things, and hunt and scavenge with much better senses!

If animals hunt me, I can become a human and scare them away! Or I can touch them, and then become them!

I think I'm less afraid of people now. Knowing I can turn into an animal and vanish makes it feel like they can't come and take me away. People are slow and bad at seeing things.

I was able to sneak into a store and make off with more candy, and pepper spray

I'm free.

I'm free.

This was so worth it. I wish everyone, and all the animals were as free as I feel right now.

I'm gonna go fly some more now. 

I've been so much more social!

I can talk to animals now, and so I've been making a lot more friends! I really like having animals to talk to. They know so many things about the forest, and where to hide, and where to find food.

They are kinda dumb though. Maybe a different magic I get at some point will let me fix that. That would be nice.

I've been talking with them more, and reading more, and thinking about what I am going to do with my new powers. I think most things that could change the world I'll need to be able to do more things for. 

I can talk to animals, and make friends, but I can't really do much else yet. I'd like to be able to make them stronger and smarter and things.

Also, If I could make them listen to me, that would be nice. They listen to me sometimes, but sometimes they are being dumb, and I can't make them listen to me.

Hello again Journal!

So. Since last time, I've been trying to take my responsibility as a druid seriously and learn some things. Like about Zoo's, and about animal experimentation.

So I went to the library, to see if there would be maps for where zoos are, or books that would tell me! That way I could ask the animals there about the zoos!

But the library is really big, and there are a lot of things in it. So. I didn't know what to do, or how to use it. So I just took some comics and adventure books

So the next day I found people!

Their names are Tilly and Jeniffer! I really like them! They showed me how to use the computer, and about how the internet works and things, and how to make maps.

They gave me a hug. It was really nice. They have a cat named Mittens! I helped Mittens like their bed more.

Their house has so much food!

Hello again journal!

I've been spending time with trees and animals recently. I feel like something has changed with my connection to nature. Deepening and expanding.

I can speak to the animals, the wind runs with me, and now the trees protect me. 

I've been thinking about what being a druid means for me, and what responsibilities it gives me. I need to learn a lot and learn from the animals of the world. The plants too.

So, I think that means that I need to start learning. Maybe wandering around, learning more about the outside world.

I think I'll start with going to Zoos. I'll ask the animals there. Then I'll see If I can find any animals on the way.


After that I'll look up more animals on the internet, and what's going on with the environment. Then I'll go and talk to them.


Hopefully from that I can figure out what it would be important to do, and what I should be aiming for.

I know that the natural world needs protecting. I just need to figure out what that means.

Liz flies back as an eagle towards Yellowstone. This probably takes at least a day, since she goes maybe 70 mph. She’ll arrive in the evening so she’s less conspicuous, and try and find Jennifer and Tilly at their house. She looks a little guilty.

“Ummm . Jennifer, Tilly. Something happened… you know how you were telling me about camera? There were some people that had them when I became a bird.”

Jennifer will respond first: "Oh, that's not good! You need to try to avoid that. Are you okay? Did they say anything?"

"Uhhhh. Nooo, they didn't say anything. I was in Seattle doing druid things. And there was this robot, and ... " Liz takes a breath. "I flew away when I saw people videoing me."

"Well, that's a good idea at least. You didn't answer if you were okay, though."

Liz starts to tear up. "I.... I don't think so."

"Would you like to talk about it? Or do you need some time?"

Liz opens her arms for a hug
Jennifer will go in for a hard squeeze hug, and Tilly will leave her phone alone to join it. Neither of them says anything, leaving space for Liz to talk if she wants.
