Lia lazily stared into the view shown in the windows of the running train as it heads towards the village of Cantaloupe where she was supposed to write an article regarding a certain festival celebrated in that village to honor a 300 year old tree. She sighed and saw her breath turn into smoke upon remembering the boring assignment given to her by her editor. Out of all the possible assignments she could have been assigned with, she had to be stuck with a boring festival.
 
The rushing view outside slowly stilled as the train arrived to its destination. The door of the train made a hissing sound when it opened, then Lia got off the train, along with some people with same destination as hers. The door then closed behind her repeating the same hissing sound it did before, and the train went off its next platform.
 
Upon looking around, Lia sighed in amazement in the view around her. Seems like the people in this small village love their mother nature as everything around is spotless clean without any sort of trash. The tall trees are vividly green, clean waters that flow in the river makes the underwater view clearly visible from the valley where the station descended and the mountains gave a pleasantry in the eyes as it kisses the sun goodnight. Realizing that darkness will cover the skies soon, she quickly heads towards the inn she booked to spend her days making the article.
 
Morning came, and Lia went to get ready for the festival. She wore her camera around her neck and took her pen and notepad for jotting notes.
 
The village's famous legendary tree was located in the center of the village and many people from all over the village as well as in some other places have come to gathered around the tree that was fenced with some sort special giant popsicle looking fence with lots and lots of flowers in the ground surrounding it, giving the tree a view worthy of her camera.
 
Lia started taking photos or her article, although, she noticed that the festival was not quite the type of festival she had in mind. It wasn't the typical one with all the dancing and parades and noisy trumpets like the once she always had in the city. The festival was somewhat solemn and peaceful and more like created for couples, for the tree was circled with a majority of couples.
 
"What kind of festival is this?" she can't help but ask herself.
"it's the 'Love Tree' festival." Said by a male voice beside her interrupting her thoughts.
 
"Love Tree?" Lia asked with curiosity removing her camera from her view as she faced her interrupter who was actually handsome at first glance unknowingly making her heart skip a beat for a reason vague to her.
 
"The tree is called Love Tree. There's actually a legend behind its name. Do you wanna know?" the man, who seemed to be around her age, said to her.
 
On normal basis, Lia would easily get annoyed when some random stranger suddenly talks to her and she would immediately make an excuse to leave, but this guy feels different to her. And the story about the tree would make a nice addition to her boring article.
"Seems interesting enough, let's hear it then." She said.
 
The stranger smiled at her. And her heart another skipped. She felt weird. Somewhere in her mind tells her that she has seen that smile before.
 
"There is a legend that when a couple carves their names in the bark of the tree, they are for sure to stay together, forever. So if you look closely, the bark of the tree is surrounded with carvings of many names with a heart between them." He said as he pointed out his index finger towards the tree.
 
Lia followed his finger and took a good on what he was talking about and she did actually notice the bark carvings on the tree. She wondered why she did not see that before.
 
"You're right, and there's a lot of them." She said, amazed on how many there are. And the tree was so tall that some other carvings are technically hidden by the leaves in the upper part of the tree.
"I wonder if the legend was true." She wondered, both asking herself and in perspective, the stranger beside her.
 
"It is…well, probably, because I have heard a lot of testimonies that has proven it. Many couples who have written their names in the tree ended up getting married and some even grow old together. Like those couple right there." He said referring to two people who seemed to be so much inlove with each other and was happily looking into the tree. "I always see them here every year. Their names are on the high part of the tree now and it can't be easily spotted." He said as he looked out into the happy couple. "Only the two of them know where they are."
 
"Wow, that's kinda cool…"
 
"Yeah, but there's also a sad part about that legend. Uhmmm… do you still want to hear it? Or am I bothering your sight-seeing?" He said awkwardly.
 
Her usual tedious self might have agreed to it and walk to a different direction and leave the unnamed stranger as unnamed forever, but she wanted to hear more… or more like, she wanted to talk with him more.
 
"Mmm…" She shook her head indicating that she doesn't mind. "It actually made me more curious. Also, do you think that anybody would mind if I include this story in the article I'm going to write for the festival?"
 
The stranger gave her an assuring smile. "Yeah sure, it'll be good publicity as well."
 
"Thanks… so what's the sad part about?"
 
The stranger had a sad expression on his face like he's remembering something really unhappy. "The first couple to write their names in the tree didn't really get a chance to a happy ever after. They said that the two made a vow to be together forever right under that tree. But the people around keep on separating them. They were both bound to marry somebody else, so they made a promise to each other to guide every lover who carves their names into this tree so that they would have the strength to fight against all odds. "
 
"Oh." Was the only thing she could say.
 
"Yeah. For me, it's like they gave way for the other couples." He said smiling the familiar smile towards her.
 
Evening came, but Lia was outside her inn and in front of the tree staring out into the highest part of it. She's really curious about the first ever names written in the tree. She wondered where exactly could they be possibly located. And who were those unfortunate lovers?
 
She had heard before that one tree could provide oxygen for three people in their lifetimes and this tree had already been giving out oxygen for three hundred years already. Not only oxygen, but it has also provided hope that you could get to stay with someone you love forever.
 
Maybe writing this article isn't as bad as she thought. She thought to herself.
 
She was about to leave to go back to her inn when she heard a rustling somewhere. She took her flashlight and flashed it towards the spot where she heard the noise. And to her surprise, her flashlight shone into the face of the stranger who told her the stories of the tree earlier.
 
His face squinted when he encountered her flashlight. He was moving sneakily, stealthily and strangely while carrying a really long ladder and rope on his shoulder.
 
"What are you doing?" Lia asked almost laughing on his status.
"I'm a villager here, so it is no surprise. But what about you, what are you doing at this time of the night?" He asked her back.
 
Lia shrugged her shoulders. "Nothing, just breathing some fresh air. What about you? What's with the ladder?"
 
"I'm gonna find the name of the first couple." He said grinning like a little kid.
 
Lia thought that he's insane, but he did explained everything as he sets up his gears in the tree. He said that in his family, there was a diary left by her great-great-great-great grand aunt that entails the exact location of the first names. And tonight was the perfect night because the moon is in exact position to light up that certain spot in the tree.
 
He asked her if she wanted to find it with him which means she had to climb a really high tree, the highest tree she's ever seen in her life.
 
But as she was also curious, she built up the courage and went along his adventure.
 
"Are you sure that's it's okay to climb this?" She asked as she took a step on the ladder one after another.
 
"No, that's why I'm doing it in the middle of the night." He said as he took the last step of the ladder.
 
"I thought you said it was because of the moon?" She huffed upon reaching the last step. At that point, they have to climb the rest of the way. Good thing there were a lot of branches that could be grabbed on.
 
"Yeah, and that too." He said which only made Lia frown.
 
And along the way, Lia and the stranger talked about random things and stuffs to keep themselves entertained in that dark and peaceful night. And the stranger was nice enough to always lend her a hand whenever she found herself having a hard time grabbing the branches. But in all those talks, he never mentioned his name.
 
But Lia didn't mind it at all as she enjoyed his company and stories.
Finally, the stranger stopped climbing and settled on a certain branch where he carefully placed himself to be able to properly saddle the large branch. He also helped her sit on the branch adjacent to his.
 
"Okay, so what now?" she asked for she didn't know what to do next.
 
He simply smiled at her and asked if he could borrow her flashlight. She agreed and gave it to him. He focused the light on the point where her branch and his meet. And there, she saw a carving of a heart in the branch which obviously looked like it has been there for over a hundred of years.
 
"I don't understand, where are the names?"
 
The stranger only smiled at her again. "You know, a lot of people has already knows the story of the unfortunate lovers and has already found this carved heart here, but they never found their names. In my great aunt's diary, it mentioned another vow. Another vow about the fated lovers."
 
"It said: "In this tree where we both shared the same source of life, under the fullest of the moon of the darkest night, we will meet again when the time is right."
 
"So, what's the connection with that, with this?"
 
He did not answer her but instead, he took a chisel from his jacket and started carving the lining of the carved heart in the tree making Lia gasped in his sudden actions. But then, all of her confusion disappeared when she saw the carved barked being removed, revealing letters that brought her to utmost confusion and for some unknown reason.
 
There in the heart shaped hollow were hidden letters she never thought to discover upon her arrival in this small village. Words that she never expected to have known that would have a connection with her.
 
But she's still confused… why would a name spelled exactly like her be on the most hidden part of the tree? With a name connected by a heart.
 
Is it just coincidence? For she knows that she isn't the only one in the world with the same name of Cecilia…
 
He looked at the stranger who was intently looking at her, full of longing and…love?
 
Not able to hold her inquisitiveness "Mister, what's going on?"
 
"It's nice to see you again, my Cecilia…The name's Oliver by the way." He said finally introducing himself with the exact name beside hers in the carvings of the tree.
 
The end.

Teruhor had noticed that something was wrong with his brother and turned to look, only to freeze in surprise as well. The stranger stopped too, and with everyone silent, for a moment the situation was extremely awkward. Then, Zeruhor unfroze and started shouting.

"Who in the world are you, man?" Zeruhor he pointed at the stranger in shock. "Don't you think that you are too old to wear only your baby suit?"

Shaking off his shock, Teruhor, the more calm and calculating of the twins, took a moment to study the stranger without embarrassment. He had an average height, average face and average build, with his average dark hair cut into an average bob. Contrary to the naturally dashing looks that the twins had, the stranger was absolutely unassuming. 

But his facial expression was something that attracted an eye. It looked as if it was set in stone, unmoving like a statue's. Even the look in his eyes was completely blank.

"I'm Teabones," the man replied with deathly calm. Nothing more was said.

What the brothers didn't know is that even that wooden look was a real achievement for the person that stood before them. Each smallest detail of his actions required conscious thought on his part, even the simple things like moving his pupils when he looked at things, since he actually saw with his whole body! 

As for imitating human facial expressions… Teabones had tried to mimic some of those that had seen, but on a different face they felt different too. Without seeing humans' reactions he wasn't able to tell which one was good and which wasn't; for now, he decided to not use them at all. It was the same with the emotions in his voice.

Teabones had spent a lot of effort perfecting the disguise which he was showing to these two humans. He thought of everything he could, but his lack of actual interactions with humans made him unsure. There was still so much he didn't understand, and his fake looks were full of blanks, the mannerisms being only one of them. Teabones could only follow the con woman's advice and let the humans fill as much of them as possible.

"That's an unlucky name," Teruhor muttered, not taking his eyes away from the weird stranger.

"What are you doing here? You are not from our village," Zeruhor asked. He put his hands on his hips and was now studying Teabones with suspicious eyes. "You look like you ate too much lotus leaves."

"I was walking around, searching for humans, and I found you," Teabones followed the con woman's lessons well. He didn't speak a word of lie, but didn't mention some crucial details.

"Without clothes?"

"Yes."

Zeruhor let out a long-suffering sigh and turned to his brother. "Teru, I think this guy hit his head or something. Maybe we should just find another place to fish today. The river is long."

"Zeru, we should bring him to Tabia instead. Especially if he hit his head. She definitely would know what's wrong with him. Uh… But we are going to find him a spare loincloth first."

Teabones followed the twins to their home obediently, doing whatever was told to him without protests. He wanted to make these humans feel positively about him, and humans usually didn't like those who opposed them. But he was still very stingy with his words.

The brothers quickly gave up on trying to extract anything coherent or longer than one sillaby out of him, even though Teabones kept replying all their questions to the best of his ability. Instead, the twins simply supplied him with a loincloth and sandals to wear and brought him to Tabia's house.

Along the way Teabones looked around with curiosity that, while not seen on his face, was burning in his soul. He wasn't interested in brick buildings or the livestock; what he yearned to see were the opinions of people about him. Maybe even spot local spirits in the shadows… He was pretending in front of them too, after all. But in a small village like that one, there wasn't a place for many spirits. Teabones doubted that there were more than two.

The villagers, too, were curious about Teabones, but Zeruhor easily brushed all questions away, explaining that they needed to see Tabia first.

Her house wasn't much different from everyone else's, though it was looking much cleaner and more well-maintained. Just like other houses, there was a small garden in the backyard and a courtyard before the entrance. A woman in her years stood there in front of a class of a dozen children from eight to fourteen. She was dressed in a simple, but elegant sheath dress and her limbs were cast in many form-fitting bracelets. The myriad of thin black braids she wore were all peppered with streaks of grey, and her skin was wrinkled, but the woman moved with poise and her voice was strong.

"Ana has six goats, and Sah has two. Sah buys three goats from Ana, how many goats Sah has now? Write down the question and your answer," the woman, Tabia, dictated to her pupils, who obediently wrote down her words on clay tablets.

"Our greetings to you, lady Tabia!" Zeruhor greeted her with the crossing of his forearms on his chest. Teruhor mimicked the gesture, and Teabones, after a short pause, did the same. "We are very sorry to interrupt your lesson, but we need your help."

"Is this going to be a long matter?.. Nevermind. Children, the lessons are over for today," Tabia threw to her students. Her eyes immediately fell on Teabones and it was obvious that he was the reason why the brothers came to her. "Let's talk inside."

After her guests took their seats at the table in Tabia's house, Zeruhor explained to her how they found Teabones. After the tale was over, Tabia's sharp eyes turned to the disguised saket.

"So, your name is Teabones? What kind of parent would name their child like this?" Tabia clicked her tongue chidingly. "You look like a lost sheep. Why do you travel? Have you lost your home?"

Under a barrage of questions, Teabones felt lost indeed. The concept of rhetorical questions was still too mystifying for him to be sure about which questions did require an answer and which didn't. But he tried his best. He could see that the humans around were suspicious of him, and hoped to satisfy them with his answers.

"My name is Teabones. My home…" Teabones mused a little on the meaning of the world. "I never had any. And I travelled in search of a settlement."

Tabia frowned. "You want to stay in this village?"

Teabones nodded eagerly and reminded himself to blink. Tabia frowned harder. "How did it happen that you were left without any clothes?"

"I never had any," Teabones replied honestly. He started to regret his decision against stealing some clothes before coming there; but he was afraid that stolen things might expose him too.

Tabia smoothened her frown with a hand. "Alright, you can't stay in my house, but you can't be a freeloader. What can you do?"

"Walk, throw, run, jump, hit-"

"Alright, alright! I meant whether or not you know some crafts!" Tabia quickly interrupted Teabones' listing.

"I don't."

"Well of course," Tabia snorted. "Then it's better that you learn quickly. I can't be so kind that I starve."

"Lady Tabia, how can you of all people starve?.." Teruhor muttered under his nose, too quietly for anyone but Zeruhor to hear. His twin, though, was too distracted to notice it either.

"Lady Tabia, are you going to just accept this stranger into your house? We thought you were simply going to check if he is wounded! We wouldn't dare to ask so much from you!"

"This is my decision and his," Tabia's eyes narrowed. "It's good that you two brought him straight to me. Now, don't you have things to do?"

The twins got their cue to leave. When the door closed behind them, Tabia turned to her guest.

All this time, she had been carefully examining Teabones. Nothing in his mannerisms or posture suggested external or internal wounds. His speech was smooth and even, but deathly calm. There was no expression on his face either, and his eyes felt dead. He had a clean face, hands and body, but was tanned like a farmer. He understood words and gave replies, but they were short and it felt like Teabones himself didn't know what to say. Overall, he seemed very docile, if clueless.

He also looked like he needed help.

"Tell me, do you remember a lot from your past? What is the first thing you remember?" Tabia eyed Teabones, searching for reaction and finding none. "Was there anything… painful?"

Teabones didn't answer immediately. His agile mind quickly put together an answer. He felt like this was a perfect opportunity to lie. "I don't remember anything besides walking and looking for a settlement."

If he'd say that he forgot everything, humans would stop asking him again, right? Teabones knowledge of forgetness was an abstract one, but he knew that humans forget things all the time. It won't be too suspicious to forget things, and nobody won't be able to tell that he actually knew something unless he told them that. It wasn't perfect, but Teabones felt that it was pretty smart anyway.

Tabia nodded. Teabones' words had only confirmed suspicions that she already had in her head. "Sometimes, a person's soul would be damaged and result in a memory loss. I think something like that happened with you too. Can you try and remember anything else from your life?"

Teabones nodded and waited for a minute before answering to show that he was trying. "I only remember that my name is Teabones."

"I don't think this is actually your name," Tabia pursed her lips. "Unless you were from some wild tribe… But your face doesn't fit one of those. Most probably, this is some sort of a nickname. You need a better name to call yourself. I can't keep calling you with an unlucky name."

"Why is it unlucky?" Teabones asked. He felt that his name was amazing. He didn't need anyone else's opinions to know that. Though he agreed that it was very different from humans' names.

"Because it's not in elder speech. When a name is too open, it's easy for people's evil wishes to harm you," Tabia tsked. "I think that the name "Ptahret", which means "clean paper" would fit you."

"But… I'm Teabones," for some reason, Teabones really didn't want to accept another name. It was strange. The con woman in the past lied about her names all the time. But he couldn't bear to shed his own name. Was it because he was afraid that it would be lost if he does so, just like hers had been?

"Fine. Then I can simply translate it in elder speech," Tabia didn't protest. "Bones are "set" and tea herb is called "sef". So, your name in elder speech would be Sefset. Is that good enough for you?"

Teabones nodded. If this was the same name, just spoken in a different way, then it was alright. But he was really curious about this elder speech now. He wondered what the names of everything around him meant, and whether or not words like heke, ket and aat also came from there. They sounded similar to human names.

"Then we are done with that. From this day on, you are going to stay with me and repay me with your work. Even if you won't remember things that you forgot, with time you can relearn everything you need to earn your own living. Just listen well to my words."

Teabones nodded again. Even if these emotions didn't show on its face at all, he was almost bubbling from anticipation on the inside.

He could almost imagine how fun pretending to be a human would be!

In the Four Realms, spirits hide amongst humans, feeding on their feelings. Their life is as cruel as they are, and the strong preys on the weak. There is no place for mercy, kindness or liberty. 
As a simple dark spirit, one of the many, Teabones was doomed from his birth to become either someone’s food or a servant. But instead of accepting his fate or running from it, he decided to defy it.
If he had no future with spirits, Teabones was going to forge one with humans and by pretending to be one of their kind. With lies, cunning and lack of any conscience he walks in unhurried, but sure strides towards the ultimate power – and ultimate freedom.
