The Old Tree

The Old Tree
Cottage


Finally they reached the foot of the hill.The chaos was clearly visible in their eyes.not only were the houses destroyed, some human corpses were lying on the ground. The red color of the corpse's body flowed to the ground.


Philo brushed off her dripping tears, Dam's eyes seemed to be covered in tears while Afra hugged Dam's mother with Erat. Now they all seem helpless emotionally, how could they not cry over something like this.


The owl flew over and stopped at one of the corpses of a woman. It turns out that the corpse is Afra's mother. Now Kore's body looks stiff, obviously because he was drained of a lot of blood.The head hole caused by Audero's spear is clearly visible. Afra hugged her mother, the Deck of Afra's wings covering her entire body. Now Afra could not hold back the tears.


Dam could only see Afra like that, now Dam's fist was getting stronger. She was determined to take revenge on Audero for what she had done. Dam's mother held her son's hand she said


" You can't be like that, Dam, you can't be controlled by anger. Revenge is not the solution to what happened "his mother clasped her son's hand tightly


Philo shouted loudly as if someone else had heard them.


" Is there anyone alive here? " cried Philo loudly


some people came out of a chunk of rock, they were the survivors of Audero's atrocities. They seem to be children of Ted's age and some old people.


one of the old men approached them,


" Are you from the Flyx clan? " ask the old man to Afra


Afra stood up and released her embrace from her mother's corpse


" Right, I'm from the Flyx clan and my mother too, and yet now she has been killed by King Alto's army "Afra tried to smile at the old man


" Your mother is tough, I saw for myself how she fought Audero" replied the old man


Afra nodded with a smile


" Now he must be buried. And some of the bodies of the other residents should also be buried "Say the old man again


Dam and Philo helped with the funeral process of the corpse. The child of this survivor is their child.Some children hug their parents who have died before being buried. This is their final farewell to their loved ones.


The funeral went well. Now some of the survivors have to start a new life.


" We have to make a new place to live" said the old man again


" It's true" said Philo


" How is it ? " ask one of the children


" Yes right, we can't build a log cabin! " Every other child's voice


The old man invited the orphan boy to pick up some wood that can be used to make a board.


" I'll help you" Dam said


" I'm also "Common Philo


Mother Dam came forward to approach the old man


" We're going to start a new village life, just like 9 years ago. "


The old man smiled at Dam's mother


" You're right, but we need someone who has the same power as the Wood clan" he said


" Look down, we have one of the Wood clans here" Afra said


The orphans were astonished, because they did not know what a clan was.


" Who is he?" ask the old man


" Philo "pointing Dam


Philo showed his strength to the old man, called the leaves, fed the dead plant, and directed the branches of the tree.


the old man was amazed by Philo, he was very happy, and asked Philo.


" Who is your father, handsome young man?" ask the old man


" I don't know, I used to live with my grandmother when I was 9. After that Audero came with his troops.I was told to go to save myself.I never know who my parents are, Grandma did not have time to tell me. and Grandma was probably killed by Audero's men." Philo tried to toughen up what he was going through


" Look down Philo, now you've got us" Dam replied


" The dark reptix clan is outrageous.they always harass us humans" said his mother Dam


Now they are all building new wooden huts, with the power of Philo building a wooden hut is easy. This wooden hut is large and able to accommodate all these little children. they built a residence away from the original village because they were all worried if Audero came again to disturb humans. It was late at night, some poor little children were starving.


" Grandfather, do you have any food? " ask one of the children


The old man looked at Dam who was sitting with Philo and Afra


Afra, who understood what he meant, asked Philo


" Philo can you grow a fruit tree? " ask Afra


" It can't be Afra, I can only communicate, direct and animate plants.it's not all plants either." Philo replied while complaining.


" But, back then you could grow a big sunflower to save Afra, don't you remember? " continue Dam


" Yes, you're right, I remember now " replied Philo


Philo invites Afra and Dam to come out, some children seem to be holding back hunger. They got outside the cottage, Philo said a word


" apple trees grow" said Philo, but nothing happened


" you're less serious Philo, try again" said Afra


" The big watermelon is coming" Philo said again in a loud voice.


the same thing did not happen as well, Philo seemed confused by what happened.in the tree branch came an owl. it was an owl.


" You're all so stupid" said the owl


Dam, Philo and Afra looked up at the owl. The owl was perched on the roof of the log cabin.


" Philo is not purely from the Wood clan, that is for sure. hence he cannot use the strength of the Wood clan perfectly." the owl said his


" How do you know ? " ask Afra


" You are clearly different. Afra you have pure wings, those wings you can't let go because you're purely from the Flyx clan, while the Wood clan has a pure climbing animal tail but Philo doesn't have any kind of climbing animal. the Swimx clan has fish-like tail fins and the dark reptix clan has snake-like scales. " The owl explained it to them


" So, if we don't have a pure Form among the clan, we can't be called descendants of that clan? " ask Dam wonder


" Right Dam, most likely Philo was the result of a pair of human clan lovers with the Wood clan" the bird said


" you could say Philo's mother and father were different clans? " ask Afra


" It's like that" replied the owl


" then how did Philo master his powers? " Tanya Dam was curious


" It was easy, he only needed to come to the Wood clan territory and meet the leader of the Wood clan there. "the owl then flapped its wings.


" where are you going? " ask Philo


" you need food, don't you? so let's follow me. I know a place where you can find "the owl's food flying towards the waterfall


Dam, Philo and Afra followed the owl. Afra also did not want to be outdone by the owl, he flew and flapped his wings.


now under Afra and the owl, there's Dam and Philo chasing down.


finally the three of them reached the waterfall.


the owl took Dam and 2 friends to approach an apple tree.


" it's an apple tree, you can pick it all up. Take it home for the little ones, pity they don't have parents.They're all the responsibility of the three of you. "


the owl went again and flew high


" thank you "Dam yelled while waving his hand


Afra picked some tall apples and Philo waited for them. Dam climbs to help his friends faster.


now the three of them are friends.


then the three of them returned to the cottage.


and giving the fruits to the hungry children, Mother Dam smiled at them as if she was holding back tears at the passing of the little Ted
