Changed Points : Fourth Iteration

2023/12/28 Lines 1-2 of the first paragraph


Decorating the small cabin built beside the house with flowers had been Sariel's hobby since childhood.

Sariel loved chasing and catching small animals, sometimes releasing them and at other times, cooking and eating them.



2023/12/28 Lines 2-6 of the first paragraph


Based on her hunting experience, Sariel had a vague understanding that beyond the grasslands, there stretched a forest, and further beyond that, there was somehow a town. However, Sariel had no idea how large the presence beyond the forest, leading to the town, might be, and even her father seemed unaware of it.

Based on her hunting and cooking experiences, Sariel believed without a doubt that there were unimaginably rare small animals living here and there, creating a scene where their presence added to the beauty. However, she wondered just how extensive the habitat of such small creatures really was.



2023/12/29 Lines 5-7 of the first paragraph


Is it because it is too large that it has even encroached underground? Sariel wanted to know so badly, she couldn't help herself.

Moreover, just how many seemingly unbelievable small animals are there within that habitat? Sariel's eyes gleamed as she realized that she had to go and find out for herself.



2023/12/31 Lines 8-9 of the first paragraph


Sariel tried to suppress those feelings, but it only backfired. With heightened emotions, she completed the preparations for a small adventure.

Sariel lifted the bag containing all the necessary tools for the journey while maintaining that high spirit.



2023/12/31 Lines 11-12 of the second paragraph


Leaving the matters of the house to her father, Sariel, alone, stepped out and began to walk through the meadow.

Putting aside thoughts about home, Sariel took the first step that marked the beginning of the adventure. However, it didn't end with that single step; instead, she continued moving forward, step by step, one after another.



2024/1/5 Lines 13-15 of the second paragraph


With each step, something seemed on the verge of leaping out from the belongings she carried, but it was because Sariel's bag was very small.

With each step, the weight of the belongings Sariel carried seemed to gradually lighten, but it was because a small hole had unknowingly formed at the bottom of Sariel's bag.



2024/1/5 Lines 15-16 of the second paragraph


Nevertheless, Sariel treasured that bag dearly and never let it go.

Still, Sariel remained unaware of that fact.



2024/1/7 Lines 16-17 of the second paragraph


Trees became more noticeable around the meadow, and when Sariel happened to check the sky, she could faintly see stars, although not very clearly.

The stems of the plants growing in the meadow grew taller and taller, making it increasingly difficult for Sariel to walk as the color of the soil, the natural color of the ground, became almost invisible, even when she walked looking down.



2024/1/7 Lines 19-20 of the second paragraph


And as Sariel approached the forest, despite the darkening sky, she was moved by the various trees adorned with vibrant leaves.

And as Sariel approached the forest, the vibrant vitality of the diverse trees, clearly visible, brought tears to her eyes.



2024/1/7 Lines 20-22 of the second paragraph


The ever-changing appearance of the forest throughout the seasons was wonderfully beautiful, and Sariel had no doubt that whatever lay beyond the town would bring even more awe-inspiring sights.

The forest, which had continued to grow in the harsh embrace of nature, looked mysterious even from the outside, and entering it would surely reveal even more mystical scenes.



2024/1/9 Line 24 of the third paragraph


Sariel let her mind wander to the distant scenery, inspiring herself.

In order to bring the envisioned scenery to her mind, Sariel gave herself a stern admonition.



2024/1/10 Lines 25-27 of the third paragraph


Therefore, Sariel, by forcibly cheering herself up, resolved to overcome the pain in her muscles and firmly determined to etch into her memory the place that would undoubtedly become an unforgettable landscape.

Therefore, Sariel, having renewed her weakened determination, needed to possess even greater mental strength to encounter the unknown events that would undoubtedly become lifelong memories.



2024/1/10 Lines 27-28 of the third paragraph


Still, for Sariel, moving with sore legs over a long distance is undeniably challenging.

It was a demanding task, particularly challenging for the still-immature Sariel.



2024/1/10 Lines 28-30 of the third paragraph


If, without stopping in that state, Sariel were to try to pass through the forest, her legs would become even more precarious, and there would be a possibility of losing her life within the forest.

But, turning back would yield nothing, and standing still would only waste time, so the remaining choices are limited.



2024/1/11 Lines 29-30 of the third paragraph


However, Sariel, even with increased risks, did not want to stop. Therefore, Sariel hurried ahead.

However, Sariel never wavered in her choices. She knew the direction she should go.



2024/1/11 Lines 32-33 of the fourth paragraph


However, due to the vastness of the forest, Sariel continued to walk within it for an extended period.

However, the path to proceed was concealed and not easily found.



2024/1/12 Lines 32-34 of the fourth paragraph


Still, there was nothing resembling a path except for the trail created by the beasts, continuing to unsettle Sariel.

The path, with numerous gravel scattered and a muddy footing, was barely passable. This made Sariel hesitate just a little.



2024/1/14 Lines 34-36 of the fourth paragraph


And then, the path suddenly disappeared, and in its place, Sariel found a hole ahead that she couldn't see into. While Sariel was cautiously advancing to avoid the hole, she happened to notice unusually large footprints near the opening.

And then, it transformed into an easy-to-walk path, and in the center of the open small space, she noticed something lying down. It was the carcass of a beast, gruesomely preyed upon by something.



2024/1/14 Lines 36-37 of the fourth paragraph


Overwhelmed by fear, she felt like her voice might escape, but she managed to hold it in by covering her mouth.

It was something she wanted to avert her eyes from, but she managed to cope with it well by covering her face.



2024/1/14 Lines 37-38 of the fourth paragraph


Sariel trembled with fear and cold, feeling a strong drowsiness.

Sariel was overcome by fear, hesitating to move. It was because there might be large creatures nearby, wandering in search of flesh and blood.



2024/1/14 Lines 39-41 of the fourth paragraph


However, she continued to walk until the area with the large footprints was completely out of sight. Once she reached a place where safety could be ensured, she lay down, closed her eyes.

However, she walked until she no longer sensed the unpleasant odor. She didn't remember how far she had traveled, and it was unclear even at what time she had slept.



2024/1/15 Lines 43-44 of the fifth paragraph


Sariel reflexively jolted upright at the sound of a branch falling to the ground, quickly fleeing from the spot.

Sariel woke up at the sound of a nearby beast's cry and quietly fled so as not to make any noise.



2024/1/15 Lines 44-45 of the fifth paragraph


Having exited the forest, Sariel entered the town, and near its outskirts, she was warmly welcomed by the townspeople.

Continuing forward, somehow a town appeared from within the forest. Puzzled but intrigued, Sariel decided to enter the town.



2024/1/15 Lines 45-46 of the fifth paragraph


Sariel, while appreciating the blessings of the townspeople, gradually came to realize as she continued walking.

As Sariel engaged in conversations with the townspeople, she came to learn about the reality.



2024/1/15 Lines 46-47 of the fifth paragraph


Beyond the town, there was nothing that heightened the excitement Sariel had imagined.

There was nothing unusual in the forest, and, of course, the town had nothing extraordinary either.



2024/1/16 Lines 48-49 of the fifth paragraph


Overwhelmed by profound sadness, Sariel felt the urge to blame herself out loud.

Sariel expressed her disappointment and lost her enthusiasm.
