Chapter 7

A taint had touched upon him. His soul was sickened
by such that has befallen him. Sometimes the lessons
are learned by failure or at the least, a perceived
failure. Milo ran from his shadow for a short while
before his stride slowed in the presence of the
verdant forest that he passed through. Slowly he
he came to a halt and rested praying quietly into
the shaded evening. Eventually the taint was
cleansed from his heart and he felt at peace with
himself and these wildlands than he had for quite
some time. The Spring Wind of the Emerald Oak came
to him and he felt the warmth of creation amongst this
wild place. Milo has been honored with unexpected yet
profound blessings from the Emerald Oak and is quieted.
He is asked to be attentive to those who would become
wardens to this tree. He begins to understand that
he had begun a race without knowing for what or why.
I am enough in this moment, he thought to himself
and I will accomplish what I am able in aiding the
Wardens branch of the tree and what I am unable to
do others will in time. He is Found in himself.
