CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Oh, good morning, you would not believe the day I've had!
~
Michael and several assistants cast a healing spell
And in time the panic of the village would dispel
Sky and her two friends waited outside the healer’s room
Todd informed Twig’s family about his brush with doom
But in Twig’s mind his questions didn’t cease despite the pain
He wondered if all his efforts would just be in vain
Had he dreamt of all those strange red boxes that he saw
What was all that talk of some outdated system law
Achievement: Frustrating
This cannot be happening, you actually survived?
How could such a happy ending be so soon deprived?
Tell me what just happened or I’ll take more stats away
Wait a minute, what are all those x’s in the way?

Twig felt like he’d laugh if he was not in so much pain
His cruel god was begging him to hurry and explain
“Sorry, bud, I have no news to give a god like you
Now I won’t be hurt by any awful thing you do”
Achievement: Unfathomably Frustrating
This is just impossible, now everything is wrong!
Was there such a troublesome thing right there all along?
This is unlike anything that happened in the past!
How did everything go so terribly wrong so fast?
Twig began recalling what the strange red screens had said
It seemed he’d had his status rearranged while he was dead
So now his guardian couldn’t do him any more harm
Even if the nature of his screen caused some alarm
Achievement: This Can’t be Happening
How could one be so stubborn that they can’t even die?
Will you always be a burden to your friends and Sky?
Now all I can do is give you achievements all day?
After all my planning, how could things turn out this way?
Twig’s confusion grew as the all the messages went on
What conclusions had his evil guardian just drawn
He tried to call his deity back to explain some more
But suddenly he wasn’t quite as noisy as before
“You still there, you cranky god, or did you run away?”
Twig mocked his guardian but he seemed to have nought to say
‘Oh well’ Twig thought as he began to regain consciousness
Noticing he still was in a world of dizziness
He opened up his one good eye and saw the healer’s face
And in a moment found himself in someone’s warm embrace
“Twig, I’m sorry we left you behind, we’re awful friends”
Sky released her grip doubtful that she could make amends
Sky stepped back and he could see that all his friends were there
His parents and his sisters, even neighbours everywhere
His missing eye began to ache and when he raised his hand
He noticed that it wasn’t there to use as he had planned
He looked down at his legs and was relieved that there were two
And though he was left handed, his right hand would have to do
Depth perception was an issue that made his head ache
But it was a small price to pay for such a huge mistake
