《New World, the battle between light and darkness》Ch 8 Helping old hands

His course through the woodland seemed endless, noises of animal life all around. He heard the howls of wolves far off and nervously asked the master, "Master, what happens when I am attacked by wolves, what should be done".
The master had laughter in his voice when he spoke, he said " you are quite safe my lad, you have some pretty major skills, would you care to look". Luke said, "were they given by you at the transformation, because I am very sure that my stats were all set to only level 1 and had no skills before when i looked".
Luke said "stat screen", when the screen emerged, he was flabbergasted, all of them and i mean all of them were set to MAX, he scrolled the screen to abilities, then it showed, creation of life, resurection of life, infinite inventory, ultimate Free arrow, Marksman, resist darkness 100%, Ultimate adamantite skin, defence barrier 100%, teleportation distance 1 - 50 KM, musician, transmit light and multiplication. "Wow you were not kidding when you said, there would be benefits from following on your path".
The master said "I did promise you benefits, you have them, let us enjoy the ride before the fun starts"
An hour or so later the trees started to thin out, and Luke could see in the distance the path they needed to follow that would take them on the journey of life, hoped he would walk well, as Zac would say.
They camped on the side of said path that night, after turning right towards the setting sun.
Master spoke to Luke as he was settling the horse, wiping him down with some grass. "Luke, your first trial on the road is approaching", in the distance Luke could see an old woman moving along the path in a hobbling manner. She looked like she needed help.

Luke ran to the woman and spoke to her "old woman, what are you doing so far from home, and on you own", she said Ah! sonny, i have nothing for you, go on your way". Luke implored, "No, come to my fire and I will give you some fruit to eat and a safe place to lay". Hope grew on the old woman's face, "yes i will come, my feet are aching and i need some rest". Luke led the woman to the camp where she sat, Luke provided her with food, which she was most grateful for. He sat and carved while he listened to the old woman's story.
"My family has thrown me out of my own house, I have not a penny to my name, nothing to sell. My family who are back at my house have little food left have cut me off for fear it would run out. I have not one piece of hope left".
Luke spoke the words that the master fed him to say, "Ruth,I have been longing for this day for 70 years". The look of shock on the woman's face when Luke spoke such words, she demanded an explanation. Luke said, "I have become a follower of the master creator of this world, it is he who travels with me and gives me the words to speak to you, they are his words, directly from him".
Ruth replies " ah so that is how you know my name"
Luke, "I know everything about you, how you promised your heart and life to me, while you were a small girl, I never forgot that, and yearned for the day when you would come to the end of your self to then come and remind you of your promise. I long for what we once had, will you give the rest of your life to me?".

Ruth, pondered in her heart the words she heard and replied "I am ashamed that I lived as though you were not, focused on things unimportant, gave my love to those that in the end did not care for it , and ashamed that i yearned for the life i once had, to reunite with my family again, but I would give it all away for you now, for the promise you and I made, that day so long ago".
With that the old woman's whole body lit with the light of the creator and she was transformed.
Luke thought to himself that this sight was truly wonderful and longed to see it again, he watched life and strength appear in Ruth's eyes, determination to right wrongs.
From that moment, the creator spoke to Ruth from within her own heart, he must have advised her on what to do for her family and showed her a gift he had more than likely given to her.
They all went to sleep
