C341: As you do.

"Lapidoth, here take this apple. For today I can't feed you any more than this single fruit." Sage smiled as he ruffled his hair.

Saga took the apple with his tiny hands. He held on the apple as they kept walking out the place.

"Your gift is too strong. You are magnifying even the unnecessary things." Sage commented as he stared and started to pounder.

"Lapidoth what would you like to take if we ever leave this place?" Sage asked his son.

"Egg.. egg father." Saga replied as he pressed his lips and pouted.

"Egg, why?" Sage chuckled

"Because you liked it father." Saga bashfully replied as he curls his fingers.

Sage picked up his son and carried him up to his shoulder.

"Sorry, for having a father this epic. I honestly never thought that I am capable of having a child. That prostitute,, I mean that woman your mother came to me with pale white lips. She was shivering and trembling as she hand you over to me. She left me speechless when she choose to keep you alone. She named you Lapidoth since she give birth unto you within a pit. Inside that soil walled, cold and dark hole a warm being is born. I honestly want to name you junior but she beat me to it. If ever you get back here after I send you out of this dying land remember your mother's tomb in this tree. She is like this tree white from a far but is greener when your close.

Her name is Hanamel."

Saga blinked the tears that flowed down his side cheek.

"Sycamore pleaded me to return in this place because you might want to see it." Ole said.

"We will give you sometime. We will light some incense and will wait for you at the tent." Sycamore smiled.

Ain put on the weeds he picked from where their tent was.

Urchin and Cherith lighted the incense and wave at Saga.

Saga stood by the tree, it was old but is vast. It was not that tall but is blooming.

"I am here, I am alive though I am known as Saga not Lapidoth. From what I went through, I never realised that my true name held such meaning. I will start writing it on papers and use it as my signature. Thank you for choosing to keep me even if you have to give birth alone within a pit . I bow in respect to you mother and father."

Saga held his palm open as he prayed.

"Lord our father who love as more than a thousand years. You have put as within a clay of jar to live a long time. It was narrow, dark and tough but you never stop doing good for us. Your the reason that within our heart and soul we are inspired to fear you. Allow me to demonstrate this magnifying gift you have given me, not to honor the work of my hand but to bring glory to your great purpose and mighty deeds. Amen."

Sage turned his palm to face the ground as all the soil and leaves swirl like a fairy catering to the area. It was like a co-creation of the whole land but it was gravity with magnetically effects. Cherith and Urchin gasped in awe. Sycamore and Ain smiled as they proudly watch and Ole can't help but applaud. It felt like all the dead things around them float mid air to honor the tree that watched over his parent's grave.

"He is a grown up now." Ain whispered as he looked up.

"You did well Sage." he added as he wave his hand.

The spy camera caught what occured.

Agsus and Selah were moved to tears. Fur and Nimrod wept as Kahieli grinned. It was like a movie. A production for a fantasy setting but is really happening in a place they never thought was there to begin with.

"It's amazing how Our God always brought as back to where everything started." Kahieli muttured as all the gang glanced at him and in awe clapped at his speech.

"That was a moving one." Fur stated.

"Yes, I am proud of you." Nimrod cheered.

Kahieli can't help but fake a chuckle as he furrowed his brow.

"Who is that?" Kahieli asked when his lense caught a strange figure right behind Saga. It was wearing a cape. When the strange person has caught enough of what happened it dash out of the scene and went towards the deepest part of the dead land.

"How I wish we can call them but there are no connection. Yet the spy camera is working what a weird location." Agsus stated.

"What is there is a connection but was being interrupted?" Selah raised.

"Good idea, I am really glad that you did not take after Hexel's weird thinking." Kahieli complemented.

Selah pouted at the comment as they laughed at her.

Saga was done and left the tree. He walked his way toward the tent and felt the sky brewing to rain. The clouds are not particularly dark but it was objective. Saga increased his pace on his way to the tent when a number of men wearing a cape holding a torch ambushed his dash.

"We have been waiting for you. We even sacrificed this forest just to search you our torchbearer." One man introduced.

Saga grit his teeth with what he heared. The forest did not die on its own but burnt?

"Who are you?" Saga quarried as he scan the any openings but found that there are more if them by the side.

"We are your people." the same man replied.

"I don't have any people. I am human not a god." Saga pointed

"Your the torchbearer that was spoke by our ancestors." The man demanded.

"No, I am not." Saga justified.

"You left us no choice, We will take you with us." The man announced as he commanded his minions to capture Saga but the space got sliced. A wing shadowed the thundering sky as the sycamore scent invade the circle.
