Sequoia is now on her death bed in a large tree turned house staring through they sky light feeling the suns light warmth. She turns to her top students turn masters and asks them ti let her have her last moments alone. They didn't want to but they decided to respect her wishes and left she was now alone. She starts to remember her life from child hood to teenage and to being an adult. She remembers her mothers face and her last moments, she also remembers her father saving her from death and destroying the village. She then looks over at the skull of the monster she slain by herself and was her worst fight to date. She members every detail of the fight as if it was yesterday.

She would reminisces her years and how they went on and she had fun teaching her students and watch as the village has grown to a city. They have named it Sequ City natures sanctuary after her and her achievements for loving nature and its beauty. Sequoia has content in her mind and content in her heart she then closes her eyes and waits for her time to pass.

She then hears some one sit next to her after she told them to let her be she turns a bit and makes a scowl at the person opening her eyes. Her eyes go wide when she sees the being who's body is made up of every element their is and looking at her with pure white eyes. She recognized him as her father and the one she would always want to see but never could. He smiles at her and speaks to her,

Zivel ( Hello my sweet child)

Sequoia ( Father ? is that really you? Why have you come to my side at my last moments?)

Zivel (  Yes it is I my child it really is me and I have come to your side now too asks you a question.)

Sequoia ( A question what question do you wish to asks?)

Zivel ( Do you wish to live longer and be with nature and guide those who love it on the right path?)

Sequoia looks at her father and is bit confused by his question and doesn't know why he asks this questions. She starts to think it over in her mind and opens her eyes again and looks at him.

Sequoia ( Yes I would like to lead them on the path of nature more and those who wish to follow the path I the future.)

Zivel ( Then I make you this offer if you can pass the test of my choosing then I will make you a god, but if you fail then you will pass on to the soul domain and live in paradise as you like. Now child tell me what you wish to do and I will respect what every one you choose.)

Sequoia ( I would like to take your test father I wish to live for nature and with it if I can stand next to you then that is the path I wish to choose.)

Zivel smiles at his child and then a light shines from the sky light at  Sequoia and she is covered in light and she now is in a room  a pure white room and sees her father standing in front of her. She is now younger and in her prime she feels invigorated and at her peak from her past, she then looks at him again and gets series. He then tells her what the test will be,

Zivel ( My child your test will be one of overcoming your short ends and the stages of your soul that you have never overcome. If you do not succeed then what I said earlier will be done, you will do this alone and will have only yourself for help my child now make me proud my child.)

Zivel disappears from the space and Sequoia now sees her child hood home and her mother struggling to protect her from hate of the others and staying positive to Sequoia so she will grow up with self love and will one day be freed from the hate. Sequoia watches the scene with a heavy heart not knowing of her mothers suffering and the hatred she took everyday . Sequoia grabs her fists in anger at her mothers pain but then looks at the scene again and hears other more. She sees her mother praying to the gods for her daughters happiness and that her struggles will be over eventually and that she will stay strong for her child.

She now understands her mothers choice and slowly accepted it that her mothers happiness was her happiness and was happy Sequoia was caring. Then the scene fades and she wipes away her tears from her eyes and then looks up and sees the next scene of her life. The next scene is then the one where she was almost murdered by the village and was saved by swivel himself. Had to watch as her own weakness to protect herself in that moment made her feel inferior and weak.

She had to accept her weakness in not being able to always be able to protect her self and relay on those who can help her. She then collects her breath and slowly relaxed and then listed her weakness and accepted them and knowing asking help.

She then is in a forest she recognize and is now standing faces to face with the Forest's Devastation. She sees its evil eyes and soulless demeanor she looks right into its eyes and then feels it rage at its defeat and death to Sequoia. She now felt its evil emotions and thoughts on her body and it pressure pressing her down and she starts to sweat profusely and feels as if it is consuming her. She then starts to remember how she killed the beast and how their fight was intense but at the end she was the winner. 

She over takes the feeling and the beast slowly shrinks away and is no longer their and she then is face to face with her father and he is holding a maze in his hand and his eyes are closed. When he opens them he gets into a fighting stance she looks at him and understands his actions and her staff appears from her hand and she takes up her own stance. They start to attack each other and their blows seem deadly and no one is holding back as there blows don't land but would cause any harm to the environment around them.

The fight seems to last for ever to Sequoia who didn't stop her attacks at all but was slowly being pushed back over time. Her body feels as if all the muscles are now exploding and her mana is stabbing her every vein and then the maze hits her body. She goes flying and lands far away and feels her bones break and coughing up blood. Zivel walks over to her not batting an eye and then starts to raise his maze and ready to strike again.

She dodges out of the way of the maze and holds her staff to his neck and then chants a spell that will kill him if he was mortal taking the full blast to the head. When the blast ends Zivel looks at his daughter and is now making his maze fade away, he smiles at his daughter and the room changes to one of many colors and she is healed.

When she stands up a small orb come out of Zivel's hand and it floats in front of her and he nods his head and she understands his motions and then absorbs the orb and her body flashes a bright light. The gods  since a new one among their ranks and are excited to see what will happen with this new thing. Zivel looks at his child and welcomes her to the realm of the gods.
