On the contrary - the more I understood, the more I realized that I did not understand anything. But there was a certainty that this was not a coincidence, and that everything that had happened and was happening was by no means accidental!

- You know, your face, eyes, body, figure, wings ... all this is not familiar to me, but the way you speak, you move, touch me, look at me ... this is not only familiar to me, all part of my life! How is this? ... Well, nonsense, right?

- Yes, it is very similar to nonsense, you are right! ... I, too, still do not fully believe, but ... I have to believe!

- Believe what?

- To the fact that it is really you! I remember your smell, your face, your look, your hands, their touch ... I can't be wrong! I would never forget this!

Tanya with these words buried my chest and wept. She kissed me, and hot tears rolled from her eyes. And I held her tightly to me as the most precious thing a person could have in the whole Universe!

I do not know how much time has passed, but it was already quite light. I woke up, I woke up, I didn’t wake up, because I didn’t remember how I fell asleep near the same tree to which I was tied a day ago. Or not a day, but more? ... By the way, although I was naked, my body returned to its former human size, and this pleased me. A little way away was my box with the already pretty faded forest gifts I had collected earlier. Next to me lay neatly folded items of my wardrobe: pants, shirt, shoes and a belt, or rather the rope, which replaced it. Here was a flask filled with water. No one was around ...

“Tanya! ...” I called quietly.

No one answered. Thoughts swirled in consciousness. The head was heavy either from lack of sleep, or from all these metamorphoses and transformations with decreases. In semi-forgetfulness, I got dressed, threw over the shoulders the straps of the box with loot and set off on my way back.

He walked and thought, remembered what had happened to me, pondered ... On the one hand, in the last 24 hours I had raped as many girls as someone, and in my whole life I couldn’t even see naked! Ugh, I found something to be proud of! On the other hand, after all, it was not the purpose of my trip to this damned Far Forest! Well, yes ... grasses, roots, buds ... Behind this I went, and I got it, what a heavy burden! And yet, no! ... Something more important led me here. I could not venture such a risk for the sake of some kind of grass! I had to go ... it was dangerous, I was warned, but I spat and went anyway! Why? ... Idiot ...

Then he remembered all these lustful fakes with their grimaces, oddities and charms. I thought about how great I had fun with them, although it was against my will that all this happened. The more I removed from the Far Forest, the less realistic all these memories became. After some time, I even began to be inclined to the hypothesis that I dreamed all this in a frenzy of intoxication, which I involuntarily fell upon inhaling forest or swamp fumes. Only the nagging sensations on the weary penis hinted that everything was for real. Or not? ... Oh, well! ... It was a dream, of course!

Far in the afternoon, when the big half of the journey was already behind, I put my hand in my pants pocket, where the flag was half empty. Got her, took a couple of sips. When he began to shove back, something prevented the flag from falling into his pocket. I put my hand in it, took it out and was taken aback: there was a bracelet in it! The one that I saw on Tanka's left leg when I first saw her! No, no, it wasn't here yesterday in the forest! I first saw her when I was seventeen, and it was not at all here, not today or yesterday! I REMEMBERED!!! I remembered EVERYTHING !!! And I really just saw her! Everything was for real! No, this is not a dream, no waste! ..

I wanted to throw this damn box and run back into the forest, to her! ...Right now, with all legs !!! But I knew that it was impossible to do that, and it was useless! We must act differently: we must get home as soon as possible, contact the Presenters and request early evacuation. Now I know where ... that is, when ... or rather, how ... to look for my Tanya! And I will find! Be sure to find her !!!
