Talentless

The look on the olds man face as he walked about the cut up fruit, under each the name neatly written. "My millennial fruit!" Master Lee whimpered nearly in tears.

"Is that how it's pronounced?" Atom said listening closely, "is this the part that's fruit? I've written it other places!"

"You destroyed it all..." Master Lee mumbled looking over more the the dissected fruits. "Why would you do this?"

"I couldn't find the tree so I thought I would look at the fruits and leaves..." pointing to a strange pink fruit he asked "what is this one?"

The old man shook "its a 100 year dragon fruit..." dropping his head in shame he continued "I have been growing since I was a child..."

"It taste good you should have some!" Atom responded taking another bite.

"Take all of If this and follow me!" The old man bellowed in anger walking into the hall Atom in toe.

"Place the cold fruits in the white marble and the fire fruits on the black wood. You'll know by the feel." Master Lee said walking up to the caldron lifting a fire: "Andi! Come to your grandfather it's time to refine pills."

A moment later as Atom finished sorting the fruits a young woman walked in dressed in a long purple cloak "what can I do to help grandfather?"

"Take this talentless fool out back and collect the spirit grass and glass spiritual leaves." He barked slowly infusing the medical pot with his spiritual energy.

The two apprentices ran out back, Atom watched as the young woman collected a few stalks of purple grass and clear leaves before doing the same.

"What did you do to upset grandfather?" She asked noticing the words scribbled across the dirt.

"I was just trying to learn the fruits on the tree..." atom claimed amount the mess.

"So you picked them? To cut them up and eat it?" She cut in yelling as she noticed the decrepit tree, "Why?"

"Some... if the pictures showed the insides and seeds, I thought it would be ok to cut them..."
