Dar wasn’t sure when he fell asleep, but when he opened his eyes, he was inside his inner world.

The bodies of the trolls and mantis were scattered throughout the yard. While it was grotesque looking, he was glad to find that, despite being there for over a day, there wasn’t a rotten smell. It smelled like fresh cut grass.

Sighing, Dar pulled the shovel out of the pile and went to work dragging each of the corpses over to the soil and rolling them in their own shallow grave.

The little dao tree was growing before his eyes with each new corpse.

Leaning on his shovel, Dar watched a new bud unfurl from the tree. This one he thought was from the mantis, and he could sense something from it. He hoped it was a dao related to speed.

The trolls were buried one after the other, and a total of three new buds grew from the little tree. But none were very close to maturity.

“I guess it couldn’t have been that easy, now could it,” he said, inspecting the tree.

Was there anything else he needed to bring into his inner world? Did the tree need water?

Without much else to do in the time while asleep, he took the shovel and stepped away from the loamy patch to dig. He figured he’d see if he could dig a basin and fill it with water for the tree.

He didn’t tire in his inner world as he dug the basin, so it didn’t take too long to complete. Standing back to admire his work, he made a mental note to bring in some stones and maybe clay to better hold the water. He’d seen similar materials along the riverbed, so it would just be a matter of being able to sneak away for a bit.

Checking back on the little dao tree he counted three fruits that had formed not long after the direwolves; they felt savage and were only half-formed. Then there were half a dozen fruits from the trolls that felt heavy and solid, like they spoke of earth and stone. There was also the half-formed fruit from the hellhounds, he knew for sure this one was another fruit of the dao of heat. What he’d do with it, he wasn’t sure yet.

Finally, there was a single fruit that radiated sharp danger from the mantis.
