The Trees Novels & Stories

And the way they made me feel was something I couldn't deny wanting over and over again. So, I made my decision. The trees in the Mysticwood Forest were tall and proud, their branches stretching high toward the sky. Their leaves shimmered with a deep emerald hue that glowed in the sunlight, while their bark was etched with intricate patterns that seemed to dance and shift with every passing moment. One particular tree stood out. The air was thick with the scent of blooming flowers and fragrant herbs that grew in abundance around the tree. Hidden under the tree are hidden glades, sparkling streams, and mystical groves that seemed to be alive with otherworldly e

To my knowledge - as I studied a cross-cultural understanding course at the college - that tree has deep meaning for mainstream religions and culture. When the Buddha got enlightened, he was meditating under this tree. Meanwhile, for Hinduism, the same tree is a symbol of the world tree whose roots are the source of the Sarasvati River. Then for Christians, Adam and Eve pinned the tree leaves and made loincloths to cover their bodies after they knew they were naked.

“Null coordinates?” “No,” Eli says. “Ours. Latitudes of the other Trees.” My blood goes cold. “There are no other Trees.” Eli looks at me. Young face, old eyes. “There were. Before the first root. The Tree cut them down to make itself the only one. It buried their seeds too.” The crown flares. Mine. Not possessive. Protective. Silas whimpers in his sleep. His hand twitches toward the floor, like he’s reaching down.

She could feel the roots of life intertwined beneath the surface, like ancient rivers coursing through the earth. Pedro watched her, marveling at her tranquility. “What do the trees tell you?” he asked, his voice soft, as if afraid to break the spell. Alice smiled, feeling the connection like a comforting hum beneath her feet. “They tell me their stories. Of sunlit days, of rain that gave them strength. And of waiting, of patience.” Her eyes opened, glancing at Pedro. “The trees remind me that waiting can make us stronger, even if it feels endless.”

But I just shrug it off. “Daddy, what’s that huge tree?” Andre voice draws Carlton’s Attention from me. All eyes trails where he’s pointing at and there’s gigantic tree at a far end of the forest. Even as we are standing up on a wooden bridge it’s still so tall and has its branch sprouting out everywhere. The tree is so magnificent and would really get anyone bedazzled. The oak tree. “That’s the oak tree.” Carlton says and someone squeals beside Andre. Griffin. Then with his eyes widen in amazement he exclaims, “The royal tree of the forest!”

Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting a dappled glow upon the forest floor. Their senses heightened, the pack members felt an otherworldly presence in the air, as if the trees themselves held secrets. Amidst the towering trees, the pack discovered a grove unlike any they had encountered before. The ancient sentinels stood tall and proud, their branches reaching toward the heavens. Soft whispers seemed to emanate from their foliage, a chorus of voices carrying the wisdom of ages.

It has been almost a week since he had been coped up in his office coming up with the almost perfect plan and he had missed the best of the rainy seasons. As he looked out of the window towards the forest, he could immediately tell the difference in the trees growth. The umbrella shaped trees have started sprouting flowers. The tamarind fruit on the other side was more or less the same. Almost all the fruits planted in the forest looked as colorful as a flower garden with the different shapes and colors of their flowers.

It was just around eight o’clock, so we would arrive just as the mall opened. "You know what? I’d love to have something like that," I told Marius as we passed by a large expanse of land planted with narra and mahogany trees. The sight of the tall, majestic trees swaying gently in the breeze always filled me with awe. Their presence was both serene and powerful, a reminder of nature’s beauty and resilience. "Really? Why are you only telling me now?" Marius asked, amusement evident in his voice, a playful smile on his lips. His laughter was like a melody, bringing a sense of joy and lightness to the atmosphere.

"We've come this far, Eryx. Together, we can navigate this forest." Nodding in agreement, we began our journey. As we ventured deeper, the trees whispered secrets of ancient times, their leaves rustling with stories of love, loss, and redemption. Some memories resonated with us, drawing us closer, while others sent shivers down our spines, hinting at dark tales best left untouched.
