See You Later, Never Goodbye

Once there was a young man.
He changed the world, not through peace.
He fought battles, many battles. What he fought for is forgotten.

At the end of his journey, he layed in front of a repentance tree.
His friends wept for him; his family appeared before him.
"Goodbye" his friends had said. And with that came tears of sadness.
"Welcome home" his family had said. And with that came tears of joy. And they walked away into a bright light.
The boy looked at his friends, and they all placed their hand in his.
He then said his final words and good byes to his friends.
When the next wind blew, the young man closed his eyes and breathed his last breath.
Now legend says while the friends walked away and took one final look back, the body was taken by the roots of the repentance tree and wedged into the roots of the tree. When the friends tried to grab his body. His whole body became incased inside a giant crystal, that cause the tree to become partly uprooted. But alas, none of his friends where able to set the young man's lifeless body out of the tree.
But this merely legend. The young man's legacy was forgotten and so was the site of the tree. The group of friends moved on with there lives, and forgotten most of the past. The war and the reason for it too was forgotten by many people.

The only thing that was remembered was the young man's last words....
-- "See You Later, Never Goodbye"
