Noah Page #2

---

My eldest.

Come closer.

Let me see you. You're a lucky boy.

I think

you must have your mother's looks,

not your father's.

Come tell me about yourself.

So, what do you like most in the world?

Berries.

What?

Berries.

Berries, yes.

What can compete with

fresh, ripe berries? Nothing.

Yes, it's been so long I can barely

remember the taste of them.

Tell me, did you bring me any?

No?

I'm craving them now.

Well, perhaps one day.

You must be tired.

It's a long way up here.

Yeah.

Why not rest?

How perfect.

What we need to discuss

is not for boys.

You know why I've come?

Yes.

Before he walked on,

my father Enoch told me that one day,

if man continued in his ways,

The Creator would annihilate this world.

So what I saw is true?

All life blotted out

because of what man has done?

Can it not be averted?

Noah, you must trust that He speaks

in a way that you can understand.

So you tell me.

Can this destruction be averted?

No.

He sent me here.

Why send me

if there's nothing I can do to stop it?

Well, perhaps He simply sends you here

to share a cup of tea with an old man.

So, is that all you saw?

The fires of destruction on this place?

No, not fire.

- Water.

- Water?

My father said it would be fire.

I saw water. Death by water.

I saw death.

And I saw new life.

There's something more, Grandfather.

Something I'm to do. I know it.

I just didn't see what it was.

New life.

Well, perhaps

there is more for you to see.

Did He not send you here to

drink a cup of tea with an old man?

The medicine always tastes bad.

She was the only one moving.

Was she hurt badly?

She had a big cut on her belly.

Mother helped and I held her hand.

That must have made her feel safe.

Well?

Fire consumes all.

Water cleanses.

It separates the foul from the pure.

The wicked from the innocent.

And that which sinks

from that which rises.

He destroys all,

but only to start again.

You sure?

Yes.

The storm cannot be stopped.

But it can be survived.

Yeah.

You may need this.

It's a seed.

From the first Garden.

From Eden.

Remember, Noah,

He chose you for a reason.

You can't get me! You can't get me!

Dada!

My grandfather lives.

He's helped me see

what we're here to do.

Men are going to be punished

for what they've done to this world.

There will be destruction.

There will be tragedy.

And our family

has been chosen for a great task.

We've been chosen

to save the innocent.

The innocent?

The animals.

Why are they innocent?

Because they still live

as they did in the Garden.

Yes.

And we need to save enough of them

to start again.

But what of us?

I guess we get to start again, too.

We get to start again

in a new and better world.
