On my way back, I filled the cart with wood again . This time, I had a cart, but I also had a bag full of meat on me . The return journey was as exhausting, as it was before . When I finally returned to the Apium, I collapsed onto my a.s.s, and breathed heavily . 'Turns out, I did it again . This is not bad though . If I push myself so hard, I may be able to reach my Inner Limits faster' I thought .

I took a rest that day, and returned to work the next day . Time pa.s.sed, as I tried to find a solution to the problem of my water delivery system . I observed the fields, and noticed a weird pattern . 'The pattern is different for each herb, but it is there . I can exploit that, in order to design the water delivery system' I thought . It wouldn't be easy, and for that, I needed Frosty's help again .

After a few days of thinking, and arguing . We came up with a method . It was simple, but also complex at the same time . The channels would need to follow the pattern, but that was the simple thing . Not only I needed the channels to follow the pattern, I also needed for them to be of varying sizes again . The complexity of what looked to be a simple task, climbed like crazy, and became one of the most difficult things I invented .

'The process will be automated . I will not even have to bring the water, to the fields . This can be accomplished with more channels . If my plan succeeds, Atols can implement all of that, and build channels from the huge main tank, straight to the fields . This would revolutionise the way Atols farm' I thought .

There was still loads to do, so I went to work . Atols that worked in the fields, were kind enough, to harvest my herbs as well . They of course gave me everything, that was harvested from my field . I couldn't help but think, that those simple Atols were very honest, and straightforward . It were the higher placed Atols, that became corrupted, and only thirsted for more power .

I work on my invention, for a very long time . In between, I went out hunting again, and I also collected more wood . When i did that, I also trained at the same time . I figured that it was the only time, I had for training . After many hours, days, sweat and problem solving, I finally managed to create the water delivery system, and implemented that to my real field .

All the Atols, that helped me tend to my field while I was working, watched with antic.i.p.ation . Ulon said "Go on, do it . We waited for so long, I want to see it work!" . I nodded my head, and unblocked the tank, which held the water . The water travelled to all the channels . Some were filled, while others emptied . More tanks were placed in between the sections, and collected the water . This looked like a work of art, not a simple water delivery system .

You could see the channels being filled up, then emptied and filled up again . It looked like a living being, began to take its first breaths . Soon, the water arrived to the specific fields, and watered them . The amount was just enough, the method of delivery was completed . The patterns, were accomplished . My invention worked .

The Atols screamed happily "It Works!", "This is amazing!", "Now we can rest!" . They were all happy, while Ulon patted my shoulder, and said excited "Well my boy, you really did it . You accomplished something, that will be used by Atols for generations . You revolutionised the way, we are going to farm . This will be written in our history . Come with me, I will introduce you to someone" .

I was a bit stunned, but followed after Ulon anyway . We went to an area, which I didn't visit before . This was the place, where the Council of Apium was . Ulon said "I'm taking you, to meet with our Fraction Leader . She will be very happy to know, that your invention works" . I didn't ask anything, and decided to just meet with that Fraction Leader .

The Council of Apium area, contained three buildings . Each was different, and one could easily guess, to which fraction it belonged . The Floral Fraction building, was made from plants . It looked like the plants grew in specific way, and created a building . The Craftsmen Fraction building, was created from wood, with very detailed features . It looked very beautiful, and very refined . The Warriors Fraction building, was not build from wood, but stones . This was the only building, I saw built from stones so far . It looked domineering and hard to penetrate .

Ulon took me to the Floral Fraction building, and we climbed the stairs . The upstairs possessed only one room, it was opened on the whole floor . The floor and walls, were made from some kind of vines, while the furniture, was made from some sort of mushroom looking plants . Inside the big room, behind a large plant desk, sat an Atol dressed in elegant robes . Her clothes seemed to be made from plants, and fitted the overall atmosphere of the room very well .

Ulon introduced the person behind the desk . "This person here, is our Fraction Leader Florin" he said . He then looked at me, and probably wanted to introduce me as well, so I helped him out, and introduced myself . "Just call me Dark Traveller" . Florin looked at me, and said "It's a weird name, but nonetheless . I heard that you created a watering system, that will revolutionise our farming . This is a huge contribution to my people . Tell me, how can I reward you?" .

I thought about it, and nothing really came to my mind . I then came up with something, and asked "Do you perhaps have more herb types, that you grow? As a Fraction Leader, maybe you could share some of your herbs with me" . She smiled, and said "You are quite intelligent, to ask for such a thing . To answer your question . Yes, I do have my personal herbs . Although, I can't let you grow them outside of this place . If you are satisfied with some of them to study, and use, then I will be happy to give a few to you . But you will not be able to plant them" .

I nodded my head, and said "That would be great . Can I ask about something else too?" . She nodded her head, and said "Sure, go ahead" . I asked "Can I examine the Ophilis Reeds and Aliris Plants, in more details? I'm aware that I can't take them away from here, but I want to figure out, how to extend the lifespan of Serelis . This would help a lot" .

She smiled again, and said "It seems, you have great ambitions . Not only did you help us improve our farming, you also want to improve Serelis . If I allow that, would you be willing to share your findings with us?" . I thought about it, and said "Yes, as long as I can take as much as I need, when I'm done" . She became surprised, and said "You are quite confident, about extending the lifespan of Serelis… Very well, I will allow you to study those plants in close details . I myself wonder, what you can accomplish" .

I nodded my head, while she asked "Is there anything else, you would like?" . I was a bit baffled, and said "No, I'm fine . I already got what I wanted, and there is nothing else, I would like from you" . She nodded her head, and said "Great, you are not greedy either . I will pa.s.s the herbs onto Ulon, when they are ready . This will be written in our history, and your name shall be remembered, for what you accomplished, improved the lives of my people" . I thanked her, and we left . On my way back, I filled the cart with wood again . This time, I had a cart, but I also had a bag full of meat on me .
