"This tree is as old as the world it has it's own power but it is fading despite Pen's best efforts." Lori sighed "You asleep?" she kicked him leg.

"The Tree fades, because it grows sick. The tree of life is connected with the Earth, and as we abuse it, it grows sicker. "he said.

"Yes we know that." Lori frowned at him "Poor Pen has worked herself to near death to save the mother tree. It won't happen soon enough we will leave this world and go back to are old home with a seed from the mother."

Mordecai looked around, and pressed his hand to the ground. You felt a surge of energy wash over the nearby area. The tree suddenly feels....stronger. Anyone near could feel it.0

"That won't last long." Lori sighed " We still have to plan on leaving."

"Why not just eradicate the humans?" he asked, pressing his hand to the ground. "It is their taint that is is sickening the tree. Kill maybe 2/3 of them, and you will be able to heal it. "he said.

"That's not are place we won't sink to the angels level besides we tried that the bodies made her sicker." Lori sighed then smiled at annoyed Pen she noticed the tree and gasped "mother!" she rushed to the tree "What did you do?"

"I cleansed her nearby roots, to help her." He said.

Pen frowned then froze as a missile sound come from no where "What the?" she spotted a dot that formed into Finx. "holly."

"Hey finx, how's Clara?" He asked.

Finx hit him with the force of well a speeding train and a bullet trains baby.

"Agh! What the hell did I do?!" he asked, trying to stand. He was tired of being used like a punching bag.

"What did you do to Clara?" Finx said sitting on top of him her head felt like a earthquake had happened inside it but strangling him was more important.

"I saved her. That poison was killing her." He said, pushing her off, and pinning her.

"What?" Finx blinked at him " You can't be serious. We tried everything.'' she looked away not wanting him to see her cry

"You tried Demon magic. It was crafted by angels, therefor only angel could have cured it." He said, letting her go.

Finx frowned at him then stood up pushing him off her when she was Clara watching them. "Sister!" she rushed to her and pulled into a hug crying.

Mordecai looked at her. "She okay?"

" Oh Clara you alright my little butterfly?" Finx pushed the hair from her face "Rena-nii?" Clara blinked " I fell asleep after that angel hurt me." she looked at Mordecai and hid whimpering "Oh butterfly he's my boyfriend a fallen angel and the one who saved you." Finx kissed her forehead "Thank you mister." Clara smiled warmly.

Mordecai knelt to the girl. "I'm Mordecai. It's nice to meet you. "He said.

" sister why are you dating an angel? Why are you in a different body?" Clara frowned "It's a long story butterfly." Finx smiled "Come I'll tell you." she sat on the tree swing Clara in her lap telling the story. They way she looked he thought she would make a good mother.

"Anyone ever say you would make a perfect mother, finx?" he asked.

" Yes." Finx shrugged " Oh and the next time you pin me down you better do something about it." she grinned and carried Clara inside " Want to play hide and seek?" she asked her " Yes please." Clara's face light up.

"oh, I was planning on something, but it would be inappropriate for Claire. "he said, grinning. He then picked up a Blue-steel knife, and started carving a bit of wood.

A few minutes later Clara come running out giggling hiding behind a tree " Shh!" she grinned at him
