Resolve

Kyle was not sure how to feel right now because everything felt a little bit weird. 

He was not sure if it was a coincidence that he had encountered the seedling of the ginormous tree only a short time after it gained sentience, but it was certainly a unique encounter. 

If he had chosen to land somewhere else or left after their landing, the seedling would have withered owing to the vast amount of energy the ginormous tree required. 

Meanwhile, the seedling could only procure little energy. It had to absorb the rest from the surrounding and other beasts that were deprived of their energy and life.

With uncertainty flashing through his mind, he leaned forward, picking up the seedling whose roots had been separated from the ginormous tree.

When his fingers touched the seedling, it instinctively absorbed a tiny bit of his soul force. 

But only a moment later, it stopped immediately after it noticed what its instincts did.
