"Everything seems to add up with what the Hanging Tree said," thought Apexion as countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He then questioned,
"Do you know a being who goes by the title of the Hanging Tree?"
Gideon's mind flashed as he heard that title, and the memory of one of his generals flickered in his mind.
"Yes, I know the being you speak of. He was the strongest innate general, just under me… I remember fighting side by side with him… Over the course of the war, he had single handedly slain over a hundred unwritten sovereigns of the divine path." He then asked,
"How do you know of him? Have you encountered him within another prison?"
"No, not within another prison, but within the material realm, from my time. He is free and unbound," replied Apexion as the flame cleansing his existence blazed brighter.
"That's odd… Free and unbound!"
