The sun had just woken up from its rest, gracing The Kingdom with its presence. The early morning sunlight painted a beautiful painting over the landscape, reflecting its light off the dewdrops on the many different plants that woke up with it. In one of the larger lakes that could be found in The Kingdom, there were plenty of life doing its dance through existence.

Some who were new to living basked in the light, while the bugs that were already used to it still took a moment to enjoy existence. A small group of various songbirds greeted the light and sang their wonderful melodies. The plants surrounding the lake and in it opened themselves up, and breathed.

The scene was, simply, magical. And quite literary too, there are entities beyond what the mundane can witness moving around just like any other animal. These are creatures not made with their body being the main component, like a human, but with their soul. And anyone who could see these spirits would agree that they make the current scene that much more wonderful.

And further into the lake, was a small boat. Nothing special to note about this boat other than the age of it, its paint peeling off at the edges. On the boat were two humans, clearly attempting to fish in a casual and peaceful manner. One older man, wrinkled and aged. One young boy, almost falling asleep, but still holding his fishing pole. The old man, seeing the wonderful morning, nudges the younger one.

"Hey kid, wake up. Take a look". Another nudge woke up the young boy, no older than ten, but he still took a moment to yawn and rub his eyes. And when he did finally open them, he remained quiet. The old man was going to start talking once more, but saw a tear fall down the face of the kid. He grunted as he shuffled around to face the same direction and look at the sunrise together for a minute. The kid was still silent, so the old man took this opportunity to speak again.

"I'm not going to pretend, saying that it will feel better, but your parents wouldn't want you to be all sad. You got a tomorrow, so don't waste the today with sleeping it all away. You're like, what, ten next year? That's an easy 90 whole years ahead of you, even more if you learn some magic. And if someone asks who told you all this, it wasn't me." He finished with a gruff humph, but the little speech seemed to have an effect on the kid. He looked from the sunrise and back to his grandfather with a small smile, before he chuckled.

"Can we go buy some food instead, we have been fishing for hours." They both looked at each other before chuckling to each other and putting away their fishing rods.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

And then the lake blew up.

Well, not the entire lake, the explosion itself wasn't big enough to blow up the entire lake. The explosion itself was just in an unfortunate case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. And as the pieces of meat and wood fell back down, Vita attempted to grow out from the badly mangled pieces Vita still had control over. It was not what was expected to happen. While it was obvious that the strange organ was more or less a better mitochondria with how much energy it produced, but that it functioned as an explosive was cool. Cool enough that this organ was more than worth producing when Vita would need to just delete someone with a bomb.

Hell, a large enough cluster of those cells could destroy someones home. Excellent. But a bummer nonetheless that, so far, its only function is blowing up. A point that has been repeated multiple times already.

But that didn't matter, Vita had grown back most of the submarine, and was going to leave for the center of the lake. But the smell of blood, human blood, intrigued Vita and brought up an idea. If Vita couldn't control the odd organs that came out of the body of some scaled guy, then why couldn't it be put inside of someone else? Surely having a test subject with a soul would make it easier to see the effects of magical organs.

So Vita moved through the gore, collection anything and everything of use, searching for a body. If there was one to use that wasn't completely mangled.

*Aqua-Vita*

Blood, bone, muscle, blood, so much blood. While I get it that someone blew up here, and it totally wasn't my fault, but there should be just enough stuff here to make a brand-new human. What should we call the fresh body, if we even have the resources to make one? Billy Bob is a bit much, right?

Or we could just not make a human body, we could just stay here and experiment with whatever Wendigo-Vita learns from the university of nerds? Would be safer than trying to remake a body in a place that seems to be somewhat populated area. Safe to say that one human going kaboom would lead to others trying to figure out why and how.

Yeah, that's true as well. We could just try and hide underneath the soil here, should be plenty of space for that. If we manage to learn something interesting, we could try and test it out here, the water should mask our activity.

That's true - ayo? Why is a random upper body floating down here. Wait, actually, this is perfect! The head and most of the upper body is still present, a quick little resurrection shouldn't be too difficult to do.

And it would be the perfect excuse to see how a human would handle the magical organs!

Yes, yes! Now, then, we should help this poor bastard. It wouldn't be right if we just left someone to die due to an unfortunate accident.
