Bird song and running water was heard as he awoke, the light fell gently on his face. The exotic aura of unimaginable peace was hanging in the air around him. He looked to see if there was anything different, but he could not see anything. He stood to pick some fruit, and chose 4 pieces. "All the fruit tastes exquisite here all have sweetness and lots of juices. Quite the breakfast and thanked the master in his heart for the wonders that were around him. He felt quite thankful this morning and grateful for the luxury that he had been bestowed upon him. That he was allowed to share in the very garden that the master and creator of this whole world relaxed in. Wonderful.

After breakfast, he sat in the same place as before, but noticed that all the wood shavings had been taken away, whilst he slept. Curious, does that mean that he should tidy his mess. Perhaps he could use it for tinder.

Luke set about carving again, he looked at a bird that just sat on a low branch across the brook, the bird sat in the sun looking beautiful, the bird also sat still as if for him to carve. So luke started to carve the image of the bird and found that this day, the wood seemed softer and he was able to keep balance. After 3 hours, he took an objective look at his own progress, and to his amazement the carving looked like the bird across the brook, it was missing a few details but the shape and stance, balance, really looked like it. "Wow, i really did it, and with that the blue screen came up and notified him that the bird carving was adequate to earn him a full 10 experience"

Luke thought to himself "Wow, so i went from 2 points to 10 points of ability over night ?, that seems to be strange, perhaps there is something in the water, yeah that's it".

Luke called out for Zac to come so that he could ask him if he knew why his carving ability had increased so.

Zac promptly arrived, Luke immediately noticed that there was more definition in Zac's face, he could now see a nose and a mouth, Luke of course mentioned this straight away, Zac replied in his usual calm manner, "Luke as you have drank, eaten, and slept in this most peaceful place, the light of the master is infiltrating your soul. In a little while the light you have received will be enough that you can communicate with the master, but until then you must contemplate whether you want to accept the masters offer that we spoke of before". Luke looked pensive, he refrained from replying for a while. Zac just stood there waiting patiently for Luke to speak, or not.

Luke had been pondering the offer he was given, it seemed to benefit him more than it benefited the master, but there would be a cost, that much he was sure of. He knew that he had to be willing to follow the path of the master. "I wonder, does that involve sitting down contemplating my navel all day and night, TBH that sounds very boring, I would have to say, i know my navel pretty well. For now I will carve".

Vague thoughts of projection swept through his mind, one minute he imagined sitting on a cloud contemplating his navel, the next of sitting in this glade for the rest of his life. Although the glade is lovely, it is not ripe with incident and he knew himself that he would grow restless for change and adventure the longer he stayed there.

He righted his thoughts, it was not the call of danger, but of meeting and relating to people that would draw him out of the glade. He came to a decision, his heart was yearning for the peace of this place and did not want to lose it. He decided that he would accept the offer of the master what ever that entailed. 100% IN !

He nodded to himself, out of the corner of his eye, he saw movement, the light moved toward him and covered him from head to toe in light. Wow this is the master, the power that exuded from him was immense. Luke bathed in the light for a few moments then it was gone, he fell into a sleep.
