The oak was turning at the very tips—not dramatically, just the first indication of what was coming, the specific early signal of a tree that knew the season before the thermometer did. She looked at it for a long time. He found her there at nine. He sat beside her without asking. Of course. "September," she said. "Yes," he said. "The oak knows." He looked at the oak.

Leigh shouted into the little honey coloured house that sat quietly on one of the many rapidly occupied plains of Wild Oaks. The little town had earned its name from the ring of widespread Oak trees that sprouted out of the ground wherever they pleased.

It provided shade on hot summer days and held most of the snow on the fiercest winters only to release them as water droplets later on.

It is a symbol of the grove’s reverence, a guardian of the truth that lies within. I approach the oak tree, a mixture of reverence and anticipation swelling within me.

As soon as the car stopped rolling, Dominic gave Leesa a quick thumbs up—the signal they had agreed on that she should proceed as planned. She grabbed the ivory box from her bag and got out of the car. After waiting for a truck to flash by, she hurried across the road and found the spot Dominic had described to her. The old oak tree—almost twice as thick as any of its neighbors—was just barely visible from the highway. Its gnarled branches spread wide in every direction, and Leesa could imagine the huge canopy of shade they would provide when the leaves grew back.

Is this an obstacle course or an Indiana Jones booby trap? If I stand up I’m going to get knocked into the lake by one of these swinging logs, so I decide to combat crawl across the log. As I move along the length of the log the scent of paint wafts into my nose. It’s close, like really close, but there’s another scent the paint is masking. I take a long whiff and recoil as the smell burns my nostrils.

I saw wolves, older, weaker, falling without a fight, their life force literally sucked from them, leaving behind empty husks that crumbled to dust. And then, a final, chilling image, one of the figures, its face obscured by shadow, extended a hand towards a towering ancient oak, one of the oldest and most sacred trees in the Elderwood Hamlet, and the tree began to wither, its leaves turning black, its bark cracking as its life was stolen. I gasped, my eyes snapping open. The peaceful Grove swam before me, but the horror of the vision lingered, a cold, metallic taste in my mouth.

When they were all in position, Loria nodded once. Each of them dropped to their knees, palms pressed to the earth. The wind fell quiet. Then—life answered. Roots surged from the ground, not chaotic but deliberate. Thick, strong—like the spines of great oaks. Trees began to rise, drawn upward by ancient energy, their trunks wide and their bark rough like aged ironwood. Their leaves shimmered with dusky green and silver hues, like moonlight through armor. Some trunks twisted gently around one another—interwoven, like the pack itself.

Otis’ POV: I was overwhelmed by the excitement as tears welled up in my eyes, I still couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was an oak tree with a striking resemblance to that of my grandma tree in the rogues Pack. I went over the size of the tree and touched it to ensure it wasn't just in my imagination, but I was right even the bark of the tree felt just like that of my grandma tree.

The witch turned to the crowd and spoke, her voice echoing through the ages. “This tree is the Nature of this world. Its roots touch both realms — life and dream. It gives what the earth cannot. It heals, it binds, it restores. A piece of Eden that shall never die.” The vision flickered. The scene spun faster — flames, worshippers, rituals of healing and exorcism, souls cleansed beneath the crimson light. The power of the Oak was infinite, divine… until the images shattered into black. The elder witch gasped. Her body jolted back as blood trickled from her nose.

We just stood, holding hands and enjoying the cool breeze and of course, the sweet melody of the birds. Then Nicholas’ lips twisted. I knew he was about to break the awkward silence. Goodness.
