i was sam and i was born again! when i saw waylon's mother's grave and knew i was home. but alas, my mother abandoned me and i grew hungry. but a few kind strangers helped me grow.
i started working to pay back the village as soon as i could. i worked part-time on the farm and helped a man build a hospital. a girl was running around, tearing up the floors. i just thought she was going to build a cart and didnt have boards so i left her alone. i know, bad logic. however, as people started talking about griefers, i figured out she was the one. and as i worked on the farm i found a bunch of nieces and nephews scattered around. all unnamed. all alone. i made the connection and figured the griefer was my sister so i tried caring for as many as i could. i picked up every unnamed, lonely baby, telling them, "even if you were abandoned you are loved"
one particular baby caught my eye. she was a small thing, in a cousin's arms. i took her from him and said she was mine. she just happened to be my niece.
i set her down in the farms and started feeding her. i told her that i feared her mother, my sister, was a griefer. id seen her digging up floors and roads and knew she had been hiding things. the local elder, clive, was tracking her down.
she was a sweet child, calling me "dad". when she grew i named her marybell and gave her a sheepskin. she tried to pass it back saying "for you" and i told her "keep yourself warm for me"
clive was still chasing down the griefer in the meanwhile. we had a few casualties. many babies between him and the blade. but i knew he was a good man and i fed him through all that. we all did. clive was our best hope, a master griefer, he called himself. fight fire with fire right?
and so he was. he caught my sister, blade, off-guard. slaughtering her. she spouted slurs from her foul lips while we cheered her demise. clive was a hero. we buried him beside his home, as he asked.
after her mother's death, marybell came to me, saying "i have something to show you". she led me to the graves of waylon and his mother. and i knew. as she pointed to the mother's grave i shouted, "waylon!" and she recognized me instantly, saying "sam!!" we cheered and celebrated our reunion. i really had become the teacher this time.
mary-waylon would bring me her children now and then, introducing me as "grandpa". she even named a few after us. she grew up, and i grew old. but we were both content.
however, the griefer had caused much damage to the town. we were missing supplies, wagons, even fire bows. and another girl was trying to lead a bear to camp! i wandered about the wilds trying to find milkweed, but the area had been scraped bare.
instead of risking dying alone in the wilds, i came home to say my goodbyes. a cousin came to see me off, and i passed my clothes to mary-waylon. as i waited to die by our graves i told her, "goodbye mary-waylon" and she replied, "goodbye dad-sam"

Hi Dad-Sam. I planted a rose bush for our graves. So next time we spawn there, you’ll see our graves decorated with roses. I hurried you in the spot you died, but I lost connection while trying to tell the others to bury me with our past bodies.
It was amazing meeting you again! You’d actually fed me three times before I was reborn as Mary. The first time, I was a girl by the fire. You picked me up and told me I was loved. But then I died because I didn’t want to eat pies with such a small food meter.
The second and third time, you saved me again. But I said “F” too late as I was distracted and I died surrounded by berries. I kept respawning in the town, most times you’d find me, other times I’d be stabbed or starved. Over and over, I was a baby reborn to Blade, and over and over, she abandoned me in the dirt. I was finally content when you raised me to toddlerhood.
I missed you for the rest of my life. I worked on rebuilding the roads and ended up patching most of them up. I had many beautiful children and named some of them in your honor. They strived to be like you, working hard their whole lives. They were proud to call you “gpa.”
Towards the end of my life, I was asked to take on a tedious job of “stabber.” The doctor asked me to be his “stabee” but I was still growing roses. So I became the stabber. I stabbed a girl in front of his son, who begged me not to. I felt terrible. But I knew that I had to do it for the townspeople to figure out the art of healing, and I was the only one with a knife. And she did get healed. Her son thanked me after, but I still felt bad.
On a lighter note, the town recovered from the griefs that Blade threw upon it. We remembered you after your death for years to come.
You were a great teacher.

This is a lovely story.
But how are we able to reborn in the same mother multiple times?

Lineage ban was changed. If you die as a bb, you get the chance to be reborn I think.

thats incredible coincidence!! i knew you were saying "three times" as a baby but i didnt realize you were all three babies. im glad you finally managed to grow up finally and that the town recovered. it seems like the lineage died out though. but it was still a good run. hope we run into each other again!
