Our heros lungs drew a deep breath... The rich, crimson, life tide returned to his face. A long forgotten moisture eased his dry lips as an urgency rattled his consciesness. Shifting to one side a sturdy hand lifted him to one knee, then the other. Lost teeth and shredded skin eighed heavily on his eyes. Bended at the neck he rose. Rising for the first time in eons. Rising in spirit. Lifting in hope.

The damp run on his forehead no longer bore down as sweat. It instead tickled nerves endings and awareness of a microscopic existence the existed beyond the pores of his skin. The roots against his torso became less a prison and gave a sudden reminder of age and time and the cycle, not of life and death, rather of reincarnation... Of elemental reinvention to take dirt from decay and turn it into growth. His clothes still soggy, reminded him less of his tiredness and more of his conquest. His knowledge in defeat and his honour in victory. One flash of light... One reminder of the creator.

Once upon a time in a grey old city, on a hill just about the flood levels lived a quiet young man. Amongst the colourless trees, amidst the dead grass, sheltered by the ageless roots sat our hapless hero. Over his strong brow, the droplets of rain, that filtered through the withered branches, hung impatiently before flashing onto his sturdy lip.
