asked Hayden, no longer feigning disinterest. "Of course, it could, but it won’t. Knowledge is a powerful and therefore dangerous thing. The tree will not help to further corrupt the already corrupted. It will not let its knowledge be used to crush kingdoms, outwit foes or garner fame. The Omniscient Oak is fed by the waters of the River of Jaded Wanderers. The river is similar to the Faded Dreams' River but unlike the Forest of Faded Dreams it does not accept all requests. Drinking the Jaded Wanderers' Water does nothing. The tree acts like a judge of sorts, answering few questions but giving much clearer and more detailed answers than the Faded Dreams' Water.

Inadvertently, I’d picked a battlefield laden with weapons. And oak was the most powerful wood of all. I kept hold of the broken branch in my hand, hoping that the snapped edge, torn into multiple points, would work as well as a whittled stake. Dragging myself up the slight incline with heaving breaths and fumbling feet, I searched for an oak tree. It was harder in the winter, harder to determine branch from branch that it was to determine leaf from leaf. I couldn’t see one, and had to hope that the branch in my hand would suffice when I heard footsteps behind me. I stilled, quieting my loud breathing. Silently, I slipped the blade out from under my jeans.

- he admitted. - I understand.- I said, and suddenly something flashed through my mind.- You're the boy I saw then...- I said, and seeing Oliver's lost gaze, continued.- After first coming to this house, I touched the bark of an old oak that grows right next to the wall separating the forest from the house. When I do something like that, trees or other plants show me what they saw happening around them, in their lifetime.- I explained in more detail.- And the oak showed me your family, you, your sister... I didn't watch it till the end though, since I felt that the oak wanted to show me some bad events, so I didn't immediately associate it all with you.- I added later with a slight guilt wri

Derick flew high up in the air with the tree still in his hand and out of the enchanted forest, he dropped the tree into the large river where the forest lay and it fell inside with a large splash, and that was the end of the old Odinbre tree. He flew back into the forest to meet with the queen, Joana and Dana, who stood at the now empty spot where the Odinbre stood before. “We thank you once again for your help. We will begin planting a new tree here. It might not be as big as the Odinbre was and surely it will take years to grow, but we do not mind the wait as long as our land is now safe.

“So~ Like the king?” He nodded but didn’t elaborate further, “This tree,” He pointed at the Oak tree behind me, “Acts as a portal between the human world and ours. The Dryad spirit resides in it.” He glanced back at me as he brought his hand down, “But it’s strange, I haven’t heard of it ever allowing humans to pass through.” He looked at me, “Although it has helped people in need.” He stared at me for a second and I felt sort of giddy, “Were you perhaps in trouble?”

Then Amber felt it too. “What is that?” “I think the tree is trying to communicate with us.” “What?” Amber looked shocked. “Let’s just go see.” Isabella continued up to the top and stood under the tall oak. She looked at the leaves and half rotten acorns around its base. “It’s a black oak.” She whispered to Amber. “How can you tell?” “You have to look at the leaves and the acorns. Those are black oak leaves and acorns.” “Okay.” Amber looked up at the tree.

After he ate and had some coffee, he headed to Walmart to look for a small tree and some other decorations. ************************* Quinn had never thought of himself as a dragon person, but when he was on the internet, he ran across Treasured OOAKS and found a dragon that called to him. It was silver gray with green eyes and a green tail. The bark-like skin made him think of the willow tree. The tail branched out like the willow tree’s branches. Quinn had to have one for his tree, so he ordered two, one for his place and one for Willow to put in her house.

“Hug the tree, slut. Your body needs to be tightly pressed against it, and your legs need to be spread.” Without waiting for a reply, he walked into the brush that surrounded the tree’s small sanctuary. I moved towards the tree’s trunk, acutely aware of what an oak tree felt like. Its bark was rough and jagged, my years of climbing these same trees as a child had resulted in many torn fingers and scratched knees. I hugged the tree, unable to reach my arms all the way around and waited for Paul to come back. The imagined feelings I had of the tree’s texture didn’t compare to the uncomfortable sensations that my body was nagging me about.

Suddenly, they were all healed. Meanwhile in a different scene, The other faceless figure, the one who had ventured into the forest, moved with a quiet determination through the dense undergrowth. Sunlight dappled through the leaves, but the air was heavy with a sense of foreboding. The figure walked with a strong sense of determination towards a specific tree, an ancient oak bearing strange orange fruit. He reached out and gently placed his moon chain against the trunk of the tree. The forest floor trembled. The surrounding trees seemed to sway in unison, as if acknowledging a powerful presence of the moon chain.

The path beneath their feet grew uneven, the forest growing thicker and more ancient as they walked, until they arrived at the base of the oldest oak tree in Valenwood. The massive oak towered above them, its gnarled branches stretching out like protective arms, creating a canopy that filtered the moonlight. Caius stopped beneath the tree, his shoulders tense as he exhaled a slow breath. Lira stood beside him, unsure of what to say, the weight of the prophecy hanging between them.
