Aww baby Aleksei!! Maybe ask Jacek about his ancestor Egon, or Aleksei - maybe he could search his memories to help you understand what it is and where to locate it?

Thanks, friend.

Excellent idea. Yes.

You wouldn't suppose it was someone else? 😳

Would love for Fiona to find that button!

Edit: read that as kill a god. ;) Which could have all kinds of interesting potential....

Right?? I love him so much! Cas is the best little brother ever.

Mmh me too, kinda, ngl. I guess I'll see what I can figure out. Y'all will be the first to know :)

Nah, once the first dozen or so soldiers get eaten they'd probably burn the whole forest down and just do autopsies on the former inhabitants.

I am Groot Aleksei!

You, know, maybe that curse burns you and keeps you cursed because of that want... There are other fish in the mill

poor peligot. makes me miserable to read. how can you claim that you’re good when you cause suffering to a being such as a peligot?

Need to talk to the Leshy about Arek.

Scent has a major recall impact on memory.

You clearly need to lie to Nick. Protecting the ancients _is_ in your blood.

The creatures still most likely wouldn't allow a bunch of random people in combat gear poke and prod at them.

The creatures are far to smart to be trapped, otherwise I'm sure OP would have had people do it by now.

The most that the military would be able to do is obtain DNA from fecal matter (which we aren't sure if the creatures even defecate yet) and study behavioral patterns

They could still do testing on the creatures

They really wouldn't be able to weaponize the creatures. The creatures are of sentience, so if they are weaponized it's going to be because they chose to be weaponized. In the first upload by OP, she said that Leshy ate a man whole, the military will have a hard time getting a large, sentient, man eating monster to willingly be weaponized. And you also have to take account that the military probably wouldn't weaponize a massive hulking creature that is sentient because of the danger of if it goes MIA or AWOL. Imagine a large hulking sentient Leshy, equiped with missile and Miniguns just absolutely massacring the streets of NYC.

The military is smarter than to let that happen.

Genuinely felt your distress for the peligots. Beautifully told

Yet another mistery!!

It's always cool to see how Cas is there for you, someone that actively helps with major stuff on his own. Great guy!!

And now i really want to read all about this other guy's adventures with the miller, interacting with all those creatures, even fighting some as a duo and of course, raising the tiny aleksei.

Can't wait for the next one!!

Are you nuts? They’d weaponize the creatures and perform testing on them. No, the military is not to be trusted with the knowledge of the woods.

As someone who goes to the gym at night, I'm now shitting myself. Especially because they have pods to enter and exit, and you have to type in your code to get in and out.

You should have been smarter. Asked for more information BEFORE agreeing. Asked to meet the guy. Ask for a visit to hell first, or at least the brochure. I'd have no issue taking a life to save a life I love but I would want more info. Life is really very short. What happens after? What waits the person I'm saving if I interfere and change their fate? What waits me? These are things I'd need to know. That I'm not making things actually worse for them. Informed decisions and all that.

He’ll probably say he can handle all the vampires by himself

Something tells me these commandos are up to something huge.. I am interested in seeing how this ends up turning out!
