nAs the fruit entered the mouth of the statue, it started emitting a golden aura and the body of the statue started vibrating slowly giving out a special sound like a hymn that was unheard .

nThis hymn started resounding in Sam's head and he started immersing into its beauty, as if falling into a trance.

nHe could feel that the earth that he was sitting on was also singing this same hymn, ...

nThis was no hymn, but a vibration. The vibration that formed the earth itself....

nHe started immersing into it more and more like an addict, at the same time he started losing the concept of time...

nThe time moved forward minutes became hours, hours became days, days months and months years...

nThe more he listened, the more he got immersed into this state and soon his body also started slowly vibrating at that same frequency.

nThe Hymn which could not be heard by ears started coming out of his own body.

nAs this started happening his body started turning into stone and after a long time he became a complete stone statue.

nSlowly the signs of life started disappearing from the body.

nAfter an unknown amount of time there was no more life but just a stone statue....

nHe had already become one with the earth, just another stone on its surface...

nThe concept of self disappeared and only the state of being remained..…

nYears passed by, but one day the vibration emitted by the black statue started slowing down as if the vibration itself was slowly getting absorbed by it.

nThe golden aura also started getting absorbed back into the statue.

nAs the golden aura was completely absorbed by it, the vibration completely came to stop.

nAt the same time one of the symbols inside the triangle that was located in the stomach of the black statue gained, a vague golden brown color to it, but the symbol remained blurry and could not be seen clearly.....

nAs the vibrations stopped coming from the black statue.

nThe hymn coming from Sam's body also started to slowly disappear, but it took more than 4 months for the hymns to stop.

nThe vibrations were also coming to stop slowly and as the vibration decreased his body also started gaining life .

nHe started turning back to flesh and blood from a stone.

nTime moved fast more than ten years passed by in his meditative state.

nAt this time in the cave, the stiff body of Sam started inhaling and exhaling slowly.

nAfter some time he opened his eyes, the eyes didn't contain the golden tint anymore but has returned to its original color.

nHe muttered slowly..

n

" I am the Earth and the Earth is me....

"

nAfter giving a long sigh, he slowly started moving his body which has remained stiff for a long time.

nHis body gave out cracking sounds as it moved.…

n

" How long did I remain in that state…

"

nWithout thinking much about it, he started pondering.

n

"It was not the wisest decision to eat the fruit, nonetheless it was the only decision available.... Thanks to my luck, I guess the owner didn't arrive.

nI shouldn't let my guard down...

nI have gained many inspirations from that state, which I can slowly develop on....

nNow I need to take care of something else..

"

nHe stood up and got out of the cave, there was no change to the outside it remained the same as the time he entered the cave.

nThe only change was to the person, The robust muscles he gained from the pool have transformed into lean muscles, which appeared to contain an enormous explosive strength.

nIt appeared like he was a martial arts practitioner who has trained for decades.

nBut the person itself was giving out a calm and composed aura like a humble scholar.
