*A few years passed bye*

Rin’s pov:

The tree grew strong and tall just as master said it would. I liked to watch the petals fall from the branches in the spring. Master would join me from time to time and it made me feel I think what humans call joy or happiness. The last couple of days I noticed that master was acting odd. I knew he was getting older and that I would not age and I saw him struggle to walk with his cane in hand. Today when he went out to sit by the tree he didn't pat my head like he normally did.

“Master where are you going? May I join you?” He turned to me so I could see his wrinkled old face much clearer now. The green eyes I had come to know so well over the years had lost their glow in his old age. “No Rin, you can’t go where I am going. This is goodbye...You are a miracle I am proud of, I hope you will find the present I have left behind for you and that you will never feel alone. Thank you for all the time we have spent together.” He gave me a sad smile and sat under the tree. I watched him sit there for hours moving now and then and as if all at once he stopped and laid still.
