75 A Ray of Ligh (1/2)

John's mind flutters in the darkness. His mind calm and tranquil. He never felt, so I unburdened during his life as a human. As John enjoys his long rest, time flies by.

To John, his hibernation ends too soon. As the sun warms the ground and his branches, he begins to wake. First, a sliver of light pierces the darkness. Just the size of a pin, but it reminds John of the material world. Soon he's sprouting leaves. Each one opens his consciousness a bit more until the world once again is open to him.

The first thing John does upon waking up is to examine his current strength. First, he checks the balance between the earth and sun energy. 'It's a bit off I need more leaves,' John decides. Once he begins the process of growing more leaves. John transfers the excess energy over to the Stone Porcupine herb remembering to encourage the long spike to grow larger.

Next, he inspects his roots and the nutrients they are collecting. 'What happened?' John wonders as he notices that the nutrients gathered has exploded. 'Did Joe eat some divine medicine or something? Or perhaps the medicine from the bath?' John guesses.

”Moo,” Joe calls out when he notices the bush moving about.

”What?” John replies while stretching his branches.

”Moo, moo Moou,” Joe explains with a bobbing head.

”It was a whole season, so of course, a lot happened,” John dismisses. He then expands his senses into the ground to see what had changed. After a short inspection, he shakes with excitement. ”Where did all these microbes come from?” John asks Joe in shock.

The demonic bull takes a bite of some weeds and shrugs. ”muf muf muufo?” Joe asks.

”Don't talk with your mouth full! Microbes are like little bugs that are in the ground that make it better for plants to grow,” John lectures while raising his branches to look down on Joe.

”Moo MUo Mou,” Joe snorts.

”I'm sorry, but when you're as intelligent as me, you can't help but look down on dumb bulls like you,” John laughs.

Joe makes a disgusted face and turns around. He then starts kicking up dirt towards John. ”Muuoh moo moh,” he retorts.

”Hey, even if the microbes are good, burying me isn't!” John yells.

Down below, the villagers notice the commotion on the hill. They once again send Anna up the hill as their delegate. Joe snorts down at her while John finally takes a moment to inspect the village. 'They've been working hard,' John appreciates as he investigates the improvements.

As Anna reaches the top of the hill, John says, ”You know I can talk to you anywhere. There's no need to visit.”

Anna nods to John has he bounces happily. ”There was an incident a few months ago…” Anna explains the horrible predicament the village had been in as well as the disappearance of Elanor.

John shivers in fear. ”I'm glad I didn't die while hibernating. It indeed would have been a death without even knowing what killed me,” he sighs. After contemplating a moment, John responds, ”Whether Elanor is involved or not, it's hard to say. Though I can say that she's not the one who created the phenomenon.”
