3 days later

Life in Trench had begun to change, and it all started with the return of Tyler Joseph, the flower who re-bloomed from the ground. The people were rejoicing since the day he came back, and they won't forget.

The Trench lifestyle had also changed for Kai and Linh, who were named as the paladin warriors and heroes of the people. The titles they received seemed fit, as they returned home as husband and wife.

The same occurred for Ari and Olene Soroka.

Word had spread that they had gotten married, and Olene was expecting a child. The Banditos were overjoyed to see new life, and the future of the clan.

And, the two newlywed couples hoped that they would someday connect their families together, and create a legacy for their children.

Over the past three days, Josh and Tyler's loving relationship blossomed into a much more intimate and powerful bond. They were inseparable and always together. The curse changed Tyler's life. He was more than just a flower who bloomed, he was now the flower who re-bloomed.

Tyler dedicated most of his time to the flower fields, which became more beautiful every day. Josh admired the child, and believed that his beauty and innocence is what blessed the fields.

Of course, Tyler was a Bandito, and in spite of what happened to him, he was strong, and his will to survive is what might have fought off the effects of the curse.

Josh stood outside of their tent and watched Tyler. He could see the flowers that surrounded the child's beautiful face, and the floral kimono that still clung to his black dress.

The man smiled and thought to himself of how lucky he was to have Tyler Joseph as his true love. The child was his, and nobody would take him away from him.

On that morning, Tyler had finished watering the flower fields. He gave Lilya and Maks the task of cleaning up any of the plants that were still dry, which the children constantly soiled and replaced if needed.

Once Tyler handed the children his watering bowl, Josh appeared behind the child and hugged his back.

"How's my sweet flower doing?" He asked.

"He is doing the clan a big favor." Tyler replied.

"And, what is that, sweetheart?"

"Giving it what it needs; new flowers to keep the world alive, just like what you did for me."

Josh's cheeks blushed softly, then he kissed his flower on the forehead and lips.

Then, he took the child by the hand and walked with him through the flower fields, just like the casual walks they took in the garden when they first met.

During the three days, Tyler had not been told about what happened to Ender and Wren, and what transpired while he was under the sleeping curse. He was curious to know the story, and to receive closure on what happened to him.

"Josh, my love, can I ask you something?"

"Of course, darling."

"What happened, after I fell from the mountain that night?"

Josh began to feel uncomfortable. He didn't want to relive the night he found Tyler's body and believed he was dead. But now his innocent flower was alive, and it felt right to tell him.

"Well, when you fell into the lake, I was horrified. It happened so quickly, like time had slowed down. After you went into the water, I jumped into the lake to try and get you out, but you were already gone."
