The Giving Tree Novels & Stories

Alastair led me toward an ancient giant tree that stood at the edge of the garden, near the woods. “At the very least, this tree is over 5,000 years old," Alastair spoke, his voice carrying a touch of reverence. "The thing is known by the name Gilgi." He continued describing the tree's features, but my attention was diverted. My fingertips grazed the bark of the tree, the texture resembling swirling water, as if the tree had risen from the depths of the earth itself. My gaze followed the intricate patterns, feeling as though I could get lost in the intricate dance of nature.

~ Tree Magick by Gillian Kemp Wow. I sit up on my bed. No wonder Kiarr and Ben were so pleased I decided on this tree. I frown. Do they think I'm going to use it to help them stay with me? An ache presses into my core. I can't do that. I have to send them back. It's not fair to them to keep them around. And it isn't fair to me to have them in my life. Every day they are with me, in such a short time already, the more my life and heart are getting tangled with them.

Taking a deep breath, Zane began, "Phera, this tree... it's seen centuries. It's been through storms, endured harsh winters, yet it stands tall, its roots deep and unyielding. I want us to be like this tree—strong, resilient, and ever-growing. I know the mistakes we've made, the pain we've caused. But I also believe in the love that binds us, the roots that run deep. Give me, give us, a chance to nurture it back to life."

I could feel the uneasiness slipping over me, but Kaidën's hand held me in check. When we arrived at a clearing, an old, twisted tree stood in the middle of it. Withered fingers reaching for the sky, its branches twisted and turned. Kaidën came to a halt before the tree, staring at it. "This is the Heart Tree," he said, his voice low and reverent. "It's the source of our pack's power." I was so intrigued that I reached out and touched the trunk of the tree. The moment I touched it, a surge of energy swept through me.

So much so that it made me tear up. “Is everything okay?” She closed her book and sat up. I shook my head. “It’s fine. Any way you can tone down the power?” Chuckling, Mom shook her head. “It’s not me. It’s the tree. He’s a transplant from the Fey Realm and likes to show the earth how superior he is. Did you want to go to another room?”

“This way. The tree should be just beyond this ridge.” They trekked onward, the excitement building with each passing moment. Eventually, they arrived at a small clearing, and there it stood—the old tree, its massive trunk gnarled and twisted, with roots that snaked out like ancient fingers gripping the earth. “Wow,” Jace breathed, taking in the sight. “It’s incredible.” Mia stepped closer, her eyes sparkling. “It feels alive, like it’s watching us.” Elara began sketching the tree, capturing its majesty and the intricate details of its bark. “This is going to be a beautiful illustration for our story.”

"That's about it. We'll trim the base, clip the straggly branches, drill the hole in the trunk and net the tree. We'll divide the lot into three categories—small, medium and large trees. You can sell them for whatever you want. We'll even deliver them to your site. That's all gratis. Labor is expensive. It's the best I can do. Unbelievable "Well, that isn't good enough, Mr. Morrison. This is for charity, for the Society Group of our town. Your pretty amazing mother was a member, so is your father and my m--m-mother, she stuttered. One day you and I will be members too. Shame on you, Les Morrison. I wouldn't do business with you if you paid me my weight in gold. Who do you think you are?" She

Charlotte led the children deep within the forest, away from the streets and residents, as she felt a chill in the air that caused goosebumps to break out on her skin. Maria's sense of paranoia only got worse the more they journeyed into the forest. It didn't take long for Charlotte to pause. "Welcome to the Sacred Grounds of Gaia," Charlotte solemnly announced as the children rested their young, innocent eyes on the gigantic tree that stood before them. The wild branches of the tree were thick and robust, but it was the trunk that mainly caught the children's attention.

"I never once imagined that I would have a Ygdrasil Sapling…It's Kinda surreal…..Look's cute though, despite its huge appetite..". The weird branch that I obtained from the last month Dwertur dungeon raid was actually a withered Ygdrasil/Mother Tree/World Tree sapling. it holds enormous power, it can produce a sanctuary Shield that can protect thousand of miles with magic, deter the attack of the monster, even affect the ecosystem around it. But, since it was withering the sapling need's a supply of a large amount of mana, and as a remedy for it, a dungeon core needs to be buried near the sapling for it to absorb, for the past 2 months since I realize what it is, I already feed it with 10 du

She shrugs her shoulders and continues eating as if she didn’t have a tiny fireball in the hand a moment ago. “That pretty cool.
