=== Creation ===

He bore the scars of many great battles, with beasts and other men. Yet he never bore a scar on the back. 
Through his daily hunt, he found a tree, though it was more of a sapling. He saw how this tree was shriveled and dying, welting and suffering. Through Ryhkrasil 's great piety, he felt the call to aid such a life form, though he could not give a reason why as to the calling. He kneeled down to aid such a small being. as he touched the shriveled plant, he felt the essence of his very soul spew forth and felt a tug at his life calling him to an early death. He grappled with this supernatural force and felt the call of the abyss. A call of the abyss was the signature call of his next life. As he saw the dark creeping in to his peripherals, he felt a bubbling rage and resisted blowing away the curse of this wicked plant. Although he had dispelled the curse his death would still be imminent as a the plant had drained him of all his nutrients and water.
He attempted to crawl to the spring nearby, but deep down he knew, that he would surely die. In his final moments of consciousness, Ryhkrasil saw the life he lived and how much he had done. He had married a beautiful wife, had a child and cared for them. After seeing this vision, he knew the life he had lived was a good life and smiled to the sky as he had no regrets.
During the seconds before death, he felt a resurgence of life inside his body. It was as though he had been born again, through the miraculous powers of water. A thought beamed through his head, one of knowledge, it conveyed the message of what had happened and how it had transpired. He had died peacefully and accepted his death with no regrets. And thus, achieved the walk, a state of Nirvana like ascension.
