Tsuki and Spirit had not walked far before they came to a giant tree.
"The tree of life..." he said, inaudible to Tsuki.
"The what?"
"The tree of life." he said again, but this time louder.
"What will that do?"
"From what I can recall, it gives you immortality and even heals your wounds."
Tsuki's eyes twinkled.
"I should take this home!"
"No! You cannot! The sap with only work if eaten here, in Shangri La!" She frowned. Spirit placed his hand under her chin. "Its okay. Wouldn't you rather die with the one you love, than to live and watch him die?"
"I guess that makes sense..."
"Hurry, you are bleeding out!" he said before tossing her a knife.
She walked up to the tree and dug the knife into it, then twisting the knife.
Blue sap seeped out and she cautiously touched the sap with her tongue. The sap tasted amazingly good. It filled her up and healed her wounds.
Spirit walked up to her and patted her back.
"N-now. I must find the cintamani stone and smash it!"
"I see. Unfortunately I have no idea where that is..."
Tsuki sadly pulled the knife out of the tree.
Strange golden fragments were attached to it.
"The cintamani stone is in the center of the tree!" Spirit said after examining the knife.
"How can I break through?"
Spirit took off his bag and dug around inside. He took something out and tossed it to her. "Here."
"An ax? Okay..."
She slammed the blade into the tree multiple times before golden shards became visible on the ax.
"Its almost broken, keep going!"
Tsuki nodded and slammed it into the tree again. A crashing sound was suddenly heard. It was broken.
A mysterious mist came out of the tree and engulfed her. The mist sat in her hands and formed a book.
On the cover was a large sphere of amber that resembled the shards.
She opened up the book and flipped through the pages. All of the pages were blank except for that last one.
The page said:
After the stone is smashed, you must not die or else the stone will rebuild itself. Then, it will have to be smashed all over again.
In the event of an emergency, where you need to give up your immortality, chant: I, (Your name), hereby release my immortality into (name).
Tsuki closed the book. The words stuck in her mind like glue on paper.
"So what was in that book?"
"Its completely blank."
"Really? You seemed awfully interested in it."
"I was just looking to see if there was anything hidden." she lied.
Spirit shrugged, as if to say whatever. "Come on. Lets take you home..."
