By the time they reached the Blood Oak, the man's whining had stopped. Red's knuckles had proven a perfect cure to ridden the missionary of his useless words and prayers.

The ancient tree looked famished. Her boils were sagging, drained of the precious milk she needed to live. Even her scarlet bark was flaking. She looked altogether haggard and Red felt a twinge of sadness in his heart.

He dropped the missionary into a cradle of roots and ran his hand through the dry foliage which answered by rustling weakly.

“You's lookin' thirsty,” Red whispered and patted the enormous tree trunk, “and I's got ye somethin' mighty fine today.” He opened the leather parcel and picked up his old trusted meat cleaver Betty, named after his beloved mother. He doused his warm face with the sack, turned around and positioned himself above the semi-unconscious missionary.

Grabbing the man's wrist, he locked it in place with one hand and raised Betty high into the air with the other. The steel gleamed as he tightened his grip around the handle and with all his might chopped the missionary's hand clean off.

James Graham let out a feeble shriek as blood soaked the moss-laden roots, which drank eagerly. Whistling, Red threw the man's severed hand in the burlap sack and proceeded with removing the other. Ridding the man of his shoes and socks, he ended his butchery by cutting off his feet.

Red wiped the blood off of Betty and put her back in the parcel, slung his gory sack of extremities over his shoulder and returned home.

Reduced to nothing but a torpid sprinkling can for the parched oak, James Graham was left to his own devices.
