“Stay still, everyone.” “What is it?” Eve noticed her sudden stop and asked. “I saw something on that tree.” Diana pointed out the uneven, massive old oak tree. “What did you see?"Inquired Eve. “Someone,” she said, seeing the figure, little more than a smudge, wobbling in the distance.

Genevieve asked and Nathan retorted, "This is where the banshee lives." The tree lifted its branches to the sky as if his very presence was enough to beat back the darkness. His bark was utterly dark. "This is the oldest tree of the world…" Nathan informed her when they heard a raspy voice from behind.
