A few days had passed since he sold the lapis lazuli, and it was mostly melancholy, minus Witch Princess' obvious anger that for whatever reason, she decided not to mention. They sat around their campfire area, with Wizard watching over Kevin while Witch Princess and Molly awaited news.

"His tulips finally have honey." Wizard announced.

Witch Princess harrumphed in her seat.

"You can't stay angry forever, Witch Princess," Molly told her.

"I can try."

"We're not allowed to interfere, remember?" Molly reminded.

"I did."

"And look how well that worked out." Molly reminded once again.

Witch Princess scowled at her, while Wizard told everyone, "He has the red honey."

"Greeaat." The witch replied sarcastically.

"We're really close, Witch Princess. We'll be able to go back to Castanet soon." Molly prompted.

"If he didn't throw away that dumb lapis lazuli, we could go home now!" Witch Princess snapped.

"He's leaving his house… and running to somewhere." Wizard disclosed.

"There was nothing any of us could have done, Witch Princess."

"And? That doesn't mean I can't hate him for being so stupid!"

Molly groaned and said, "I don't know what to tell you. I don't know why he did it, either, but we still have a purpose here." Witch Princess harrumphed once again. "Purpose, schmurpose. I don't want to look at his dumb face again."

"You may have to. Kevin is headed for Edge."

They both looked to him. Wizard stood up and asked Witch Princess to cloak Molly. "Do I have to go?" Witch Princess moaned. "It would be a good idea. Molly… should be cloaked regardless." Witch Princess sighed and cloaked her, before the three of them transported to Kevin. Once again, she lassoed onto Kevin and went by herself while Wizard held onto Molly. Once they made it up, they watched with bated breath as their last rainbow was made in front of the four of them.

"So we have to help him find a seedling of hope?! Why didn't those dumb sprites tell him this information before?!" Witch Princess yelled once they teleported back to the campsite.

"They didn't know it was that dead!" Finn snapped.

"I'm not insulting you personally."

"They're my people, Witch Princess!"

"Enough! That isn't the point. We… we have to find the seedling." Wizard reminded.

"Uh… I might have seen a seedling before."

Everyone looked to her. "Where?" Wizard asked calmly.

"It was over by the lighthouse. It was bone white and had this strong, winding trunk." Wizard sat down and processed the information. "He's bound to ask the people… yes, and I can bet you… he'll go to Jin first." He sat in the position he would get into for possession. "Wait, why not have Molly talk to him?" Wizard answered, "I don't want to fuse her mind again. Her mind… took a beating the first time… but there's no guarantee it can survive…again." Witch Princess exhaled sharply and sat down. He continued with the possession.

"Hello, Jin."

Wizard looked towards the door and saw that Kevin was walking in. "Hello, Kevin. How can I help you?" Kevin smiled and answered, "Do you know about the 'Seedling of Hope?' I was wondering if you could help me find it." Wizard fake-pondered the thought. "The 'Seedling of Hope'? Hmm…

"You know, I found a strange seedling over by the lighthouse. It was bone white and had a strong, winding trunk. You should take a look at it." Kevin nodded and left immediately. Fake Jin left the office to see if Kevin was running for the lighthouse. He followed him to find him staring at the seedling.

"Ah, you found it." Kevin looked surprised to see him. "I've never seen a seedling like that before. I thought I could use it to make medicine, but I couldn't find it in any of my medical books," he lied, "I hope that's the seedling you're looking for. Kevin, I wish you luck." Kevin nodded, and Wizard returned to his office. He sat him down as he found him and relinquished control of Jin.

"And?" Molly asked.

"He has the seedling. He'll be coming here to plant it, so we'll need to stay quiet when he comes."

"At least he wasn't dumb enough to dilly-dally."

"What do we do if it's a fake?" Molly asked.

"I guess we'll plan that. He's here… stay low."

Kevin ran up the steps, and Wizard whispered as quiet as possible, "I'll follow him." He left the campsite and followed closely. Once he entered the spring, he watched as he planted the sapling proudly. Wizard felt overjoyed until he saw what happened.

"It died?!" She exclaimed after Kevin left.

"I'm afraid so."

"Well, who could we look to next?"

"Well, we should look for someone… who is quite familiar with myths." Wizard suggested. "So, like an explorer?" Molly thought. All three perked up.

"Calvin."

Wizard worked immediately to find and possess Calvin, who left the mine shortly before he took over. He looked within his pockets, and found the seedling within his pockets. He saw Kevin run over to the cave and saw he was relieved to find this Calvin.

"Uh, Calvin, have you heard of a seedling of hope?"

Before he knew it, he found himself on the tenth floor, struggling to hang onto control. "Glad you made it! Let me show you that strange seedling I found…" He pulled it out and showed it to him. "This is definitely the seedling of hope." Wizard raised his eyebrows, "I'm glad you're so confident. There's only one way to be sure though. Plant this seedling and see if it grows into a Mother Tree or a Midas tree." He knew the legends of the Midas tree; he studied the legend in his mythology studies.

He handed over the seedling calmly, and walked away, making it seem like he was going to continue exploring. He thought he should tell Kevin of the Midas legend and said, "You know, Kevin, if that does grow into a Midas tree…" but then feared he was starting to lose control so he continued, "Nah, forget it. Okay, good luck." Once Kevin left, he relinquished control, and hoped he wouldn't wonder why he was back in the cave after just leaving.

"He's coming back, isn't he?"

"Yeah. He might be testing… if this is a Midas tree or not… I'm going to go to the tree." He walked away when Witch Princess decided to try her hand at possession. She took control of Calvin, who was climbing back up the cave, and continued to make him do so. She led him all the way to the goddess spring, where he saw Kevin's new sapling fail. "So it died, huh?" Kevin turned around, very much shocked to see Calvin stand there.

"Don't worry about it. If it really was the Midas tree… Well, we're better off without it." Fake Calvin walked towards the sapling and spouted the legend. "So if that had grown into a Midas tree, I would have destroyed it anyway." She continued to let him spout words of good. "The Sapling you're looking for is supposed to restore this islands to its former glory, right, Kevin? I'm sure it's around here somewhere. Just keep looking. Good luck!" She walked away from Kevin and walked back to the front of the mine, where she finally relinquished control.

Once Kevin left, Wizard walked back to the campsite and said, "Was that necessary?"

"Just thought I'd give him a reality check. Others care about this place, too."

Wizard said, "Well, now, I don't know where it could be."

"I could. You know that weird mayor guy? He's suspicious. I don't like it." Molly suggested.

Wizard pondered this and said, "I might as well check. It's not as if… I have any other clue." He scanned the mayor's house and indeed found a seedling. "You're right. There is a seedling there."

"Good going, Molly."

"I only say this because our Hamilton is just as weird."

"So how do we get this one?"

"It'll be tricky. I'm sure we can get it somehow… but I don't know if… it will be as simple… as it has been with Jin and Calvin."
