In the corner stood the apple tree, its base carefully wrapped in burlap. The sight made her eyes redden again. From the nearby village school came the sound of children reading aloud.

The undergrowth had returned first, then the smaller trees, then the birds, and this spring the canopy had finally been thick enough in a few places to cast some shade, although not much.

" Serina firmly said while Paul nodded at her, promising that this must happen, at whatever cost that hinders on the way. Then both of them walk out together from the shade of the oak tree. "It was a promise witnessed by this century-old tree." "I doubt that tree is that old." "K-Town had lots of history and myths!" "Yeah, I know...kinda weird on how non-sense some of the myths are."

“Do you want to see the oak tree? It is where most of them live too.” Rosalyn blinked. “What’s an oak tree?” I lowered my voice slightly like I was about to tell her the world’s greatest secret. “It’s a magic tree.” Her eyes widened instantly. “It is?” I nodded seriously. “It holds all the secrets in the world.
