Forest Dweller

You walk down towards the stream, taking one of the buckets and scooping up a good portion of the holy water. You feel the life swishel around in the bucket, and smile as it always seems to make you feel alive. You walk over towards Nel, a little boy, for the second part.
"Hey there Adam. Here to collect the sacred wood again?" You nod and he closes his eyes, speaking the whispers of the woods as a branch falls from the tree above. You catch it and give him your thanks, walking off. The wood must give its permission for an act of taking the wood, but this is never an issue. You are horrified at how humans destroy the forest in the other parts of the world, as you have heard the river tell you sadly too many times. Alright, the last thing is to prepare for the daily ritual.
