Once Lepidus and his companions reached the campsite... Lepidus walked off into the forest to where he could be alone.... with his ribs still bothering him he curled up next to a tree stump and began to sing to himself about the many treasures in life that he had taken for granted.....he fealt a tear fall from his eye so he closed his eyes as tight as he could and sang a little louder. From the melody he was singing and the emotion he put into it his ribs where healed and he regained his strength again. he wiped his eyes.....and drifted away into a deep slumber....he was at peace for the first time in many days
