ANew beginning

As Tappy ventured deeper into the forest, he couldn't shake off the feeling that he was being watched. His instinct, always ready with a comment, remarked, "Seems like you're not the only one curious about this place. Let's keep our wits about us."

Ignoring the instinct, Tappy pressed on, his curiosity getting the better of him. As he walked, he stumbled upon an old, abandoned village. The houses were crumbling, the streets overgrown with weeds, and an eerie silence hung in the air.

"This place gives me the creeps," Tappy muttered, feeling a sense of unease. "I wonder what happened here."

His instinct, ever the voice of reason, replied, "Looks like this village has been deserted for a long time. Let's not linger here, who knows what might be lurking in the shadows."

But Tappy's curiosity got the better of him, and he began to explore the village. As he walked through the empty streets, he noticed something strange. In one of the houses, he saw a group of children huddled together, eating bread and raw meat.

"What on earth..." Tappy trailed off, his voice filled with confusion. "Why are they eating raw meat? And where are their parents?"

His instinct, always quick to analyze, replied, "It looks like these children are alone, perhaps orphaned or abandoned. They must be scavenging for food to survive."

Tappy's heart went out to the children. He approached them slowly, trying not to startle them. "Hey there, I'm not here to harm you. My name is Tappy. What are you doing here all alone?"

One of the children, a small girl with wide eyes, looked up and saw Tappy. She gasped and pointed, shouting, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The other children looked up, fear and confusion evident on their faces. Tappy quickly raised his hands in a calming gesture. "I mean no harm, I'm just passing through. I was curious about this village. Can you tell me what happened here?"

The children hesitated, eyeing Tappy warily. Finally, a boy spoke up, his voice shaky. "Our village... it was destroyed. A great darkness came and took everything from us. We're the only ones left."

Tappy's heart sank at the children's words. "I'm so sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

The children looked at each other, then back at Tappy. The small girl spoke up, her voice barely a whisper. "Can you... can you take us away from here? We're scared and alone. We don't know what to do."

Tappy looked at the children, his heart breaking for them. He knew he couldn't leave them here alone. "Of course, I'll help you. Come with me, I'll take you somewhere safe."

And so, Tappy's journey took an unexpected turn as he became the protector of these orphaned children, determined to give them a new home and a new hope for the future.As Tappy settled into the abandoned house with the children, he realized that he had a lot to learn about this new world. While cleaning, he decided to put his gears to work and began to think about how to make a broom with the materials available in this primitive world.

Gathering some sturdy branches, he began to fashion a handle, while the children watched in fascination. They bombarded him with questions about where he came from, how he knew how to make things, and what the world was like beyond their village.

Tappy patiently answered their questions, explaining that he came from a world that had been destroyed and that he was just as lost as they were in this new world. He showed them how to make the broom, involving them in the process and teaching them new skills along the way.

As they worked, Tappy couldn't help but feel a sense of purpose. Despite the destruction he had caused in his own world, here he was able to make a difference in the lives of these children, giving them hope and a chance at a better life.

After finishing the broom, Tappy and the children set about cleaning the rest of the house. As they worked, Tappy shared stories of his world, sparking the children's imagination and filling their heads with dreams of what lay beyond their village.

By the time they had finished, the house was clean and tidy, a far cry from its previous state of disrepair. The children looked around with wonder, amazed at what they had accomplished with Tappy's help.

As night fell, Tappy sat with the children around a crackling fire, the warmth of the flames comforting in the cool night air. He knew that he had made the right decision to stay in this village, at least for now. He had a lot to learn about this world, but with the children by his side, he knew that anything was possible.As the sun began to rise, Tappy woke from a restless sleep, his mind plagued by a bad dream. He sat up, feeling a gnawing hunger for meat, but he knew he had no clue about the wildlife in this new world. His instinct, always ready with a comment, joked, "Looks like you're craving a burger, but I don't think they have any drive-thrus around here."

Tappy rolled his eyes at his instinct's comment and stood up, stretching his stiff muscles. He remembered that while cleaning the house, he had discovered a hidden room that seemed to exist in a different dimension. It was a vast library filled with books on every subject imaginable.

Curiosity piqued, Tappy made his way to the room where he had found the library. He located the little snow globe that served as the entrance to the hidden dimension and pressed the button on its base. With a soft click, a doorway appeared before him, leading into the library.

Entering the library, Tappy was once again amazed by its size and scope. He walked among the shelves, running his fingers over the spines of the books. Each one seemed to contain a world of knowledge waiting to be discovered.

He found a section on wildlife and began to study the creatures that inhabited this world. He learned about the different species of animals, their behaviors, and their habitats. Armed with this new knowledge, he set out to hunt for food, determined to satisfy his hunger.

As he ventured into the forest, he marveled at the beauty of this new world. The trees towered above him, their leaves shimmering in the morning light. Birds sang in the branches, and small animals scurried about in the underbrush.

After a while, Tappy spotted a deer grazing in a clearing. Remembering what he had learned, he carefully stalked his prey, moving silently through the undergrowth. With a swift motion, he drew his makeshift bow and arrow and let fly, striking the deer in the heart.

As the deer fell, Tappy felt a sense of accomplishment. He had successfully hunted for the first time in this new world, providing food not only for himself but for the children as well. He returned to the house, meat in hand, ready to cook a meal for his newfound family.After cooking a delicious meal with the deer meat, the aroma wafted through the house, awakening the children. They sat up, their stomachs growling, and memories of the previous day flooding back.

Tappy smiled as he served the meal, watching the children eat with gusto. He felt a sense of satisfaction, knowing that he had provided for them and brought some semblance of normalcy to their lives.

As they ate, Tappy's instinct teased him, "Not bad for a scientist turned chef, huh? Maybe you've found your true calling."

Tappy chuckled, enjoying the banter with his instinct. After the meal, as usual, he sat down to talk with his instinct, discussing their plans for the future.

"I think we should build a wall around the village," Tappy said, his voice filled with determination. "It will provide us with protection and give the children a sense of security."

His instinct nodded in agreement. "A good idea. With your knowledge and our combined skills, we should be able to build a strong and sturdy wall in no time."

And so, Tappy set to work, gathering materials and enlisting the help of the children. They worked tirelessly, day and night, building the wall brick by brick. Tappy taught them new skills, and they eagerly learned, their bond growing stronger with each passing day.

As the wall took shape, so did the village. Tappy and the children worked together to restore the houses, clean the streets, and plant gardens. The village began to transform, becoming a vibrant and bustling community once again.

When the wall was finally completed, Tappy stood back and admired their handiwork. The village was now safe and secure, a haven for all who lived there.

With the village restored to its former beauty, Tappy felt a sense of pride. He had come to this world as a stranger, but now he was a part of something greater. He had found a new home, a new family, and a new purpose. And with his instinct by his side, he knew that anything was possible.
