GOODBYE, OLD FRIEND

Ashlock excitedly tried to send a command to his new Ent, but it refused to move no matter how much effort he put into it.

“Huh? Why isn’t the skill working? Is my realm not high enough to command it?” Ashlock glanced around in confusion and noticed it wasn’t only his Ent stuck in place and refusing his commands. His leaves were stuck, and none of his sect members were moving.

Everything was perfectly still, as if time had been frozen, but if he looked closely, he could see the eyes of his sect members still moving around in their eye sockets, and the spatial flames burning within the Ent were still flickering.

“My friend, we need to have a talk.” A voice Ashlock was all too familiar with drew his attention.

Senior Lee stood on the edge of the mountain peak, his back facing Ashlock as he gazed at the distant Darklight City. His long white hair flowed down his back like a cape, and his simple white robes rustled in an invisible breeze.

“Senior Lee? Why are you back so soon?” Ashlock questioned the back of the man. “I thought you said you would meet me at the top.”

Turning to face him, Senior Lee glanced up at the Ent’s maw and lilac flame-filled eyes. “Well, I felt a sudden wave of death Qi near an old friend, so I came to check up on you before I entered my final meditation.”

“Final meditation?” Ashlock asked.

“Indeed, what may be an entire lifetime to you is but a passing moment for me. Yet my time is running out. I have but one last eon of meditation left in this fleeting spirit of mine.” Senior Lee’s eyes flickered, and Ashlock swore he saw galaxies within his pupils. “Now tell me, friend, what is this creature of death you have manifested?”

“Ah, this thing.” Ashlock relaxed a little. Whenever Senior Lee arrived, he feared he was about to dump some bad news on his plate. “This is an Ent I made with a new technique. It’s completely under my control.”

“Impressive. I knew my gift wasn’t wasted on you.” The man circled it once, his eyes closed as if appraising it with his spiritual sense. “What a bizarre and fascinating mixture of death’s decay, the nature of life, and absolute control. It’s as if you have compressed all that governs the life and death of this universe into a single abomination.”

Senior Lee then opened his eyes and began to walk over to Ashlock’s sect members. “Hello, Stella and Diana, long time no see. You both have grown so much in our little time apart. Star Core Realm already?” He offered them a warm, grandfatherly smile as their eyes followed his movement. “I just need to have a little private chat with my friend here, so you will all need to go for now.”

Stella’s eyes widened as Senior Lee snapped his fingers, and everyone vanished as if they were never there. Ashlock was about to panic, but he felt their presence reappear in the mine alongside Elaine.
