Chapter 58: That Glitters is Not Gold Part 1

Watching Noe's soul seep from his eyes as Noe ponders the meaning of the World's most recent biological curveball, Daniel adds his two cents into Noe's contemplation, "Nature is fighting back. Humans destroyed nature beyond repair and now it's getting its recompense."

A cool wind breezes through Noe's hair. As the realm's clouds pass by, Noe blinks back to reality and helplessly looks to Daniel, "The children, they're probably gone by now, aren't they?"

Silently resigned, Daniel nods.

"We should get back to Eastville," Noe sighs in trepidation. He cannot blame Daniel for saving his life. Even if Noe wished to, for Noe to berate Daniel is beyond his rational capabilities. If Noee cannot be mad at Daniel, or cry in cause of his own sadness, who can Noe curse and damn to hell? Is mother nature truly to blame? Then the Omniscient for creating such a planet?

Walking forward, the evil glint in Daniel's eyes fades as he takes Noe's hand in his.
