There was a feeling of strangeness in the air as the group arrived in the village. The people milled about their daily lives, children and husbands doing chores, merchants and buyers selling and bartering goods, the usual things which take place in a small village. But there was one difference, the area around this “tree†is completely barren, only the tree is alive there, and it seems to be thriving with its full branches, even in the winter time, and thick, strong trunk.
When Miyu would begin her investigation she'd notice there was nothing strange or out of the ordinary about the tree as far as magic goes but it has a dark, eerie, almost sinister feeling about it, as if it is watching, like a predator. But other than that it seems fairly normal, as normal as a tree could be in the Twelvewood. But it was missing something which everything had in this forest, an elemental. It had none whatsoever.
“So, you must be the group sent by the Lady Kailisto,†A shaky, elderly voice said. It belonged to a elderly hyur woman with graying hair and a hunched over back. She walked with a cane and had two very large Highland Hyurs with her at her side.
“I told the young welp we did not need her help, we could figure it out ourselves, but be that as it may you're here.. Welcome to our village. I am the village shaman Keah.†She said with a slight bow. She narrowed her eyes at Miyu and slammed the edge of her cane down on the ground.
“You, you have the look of a babe who just first stepped out of the forest. If you don't know what yer doin get away before it has its next victim...†she said with a sinister smile to Miyu.
“Why she'd send a novice and a gaggle of damned mercenaries is beyond me..†she grumbled and watched Miyu closely.
“Ignore her, she's jus a bit cranky!†A voice said from the distance. It was another hyur, he had long black hair and a smile that melted hearts. To the experienced eye he also had the air of a adventurer about him.
“Name's Darius, and I plan to prove to these people it's a myth, me an me wife, a soldier in her own right will get married here, right under this tree tomorrow! Then i'll claim the reward...†He said with a smirk.
The old woman frowned and slammed her cane down again. “Bah, another fool for the tree, your wife's blood will feed the land along with the others.â€Â
