Under The Oak Tree Manta Novels & Stories

hissed King Richard Orlando Lie with his knowing as well as meaningful smirk. “Everything will be arranged based on your order, King…” said Mr. Serpent Win Mara slightly bowing down his body. “Go back to your working zone, Tree Demon… You’ll soon receive much more power as your reward…” said King Richard Orlando Lie to the tree demon. The tree demon slightly stooped down her head as well. “Thanks… Thanks very much for the reward, King…” The tree demon walked out of the palace of the West Medicine Land. She opened a dimension portal to return to the humans-realm. She stepped out of the dimension-portal and returned to the office where she worked, disguising herself among the humans in the hum

But they just resumed their paces once more, after just momentarily glancing up at the royal unicorns carrying a pair of dignitaries, acting as if it was nothing new to stand there and gawk at. “So why is everyone all living up on trees?” Eureka asked. “Because of the constant land waters and the Croogwijs,” Orea said. “Croogwijs?” Eureka asked as they began to soar up higher once more. “Not everything is heavenly here in Forest land, croogwijs are the variety of the nasty swamp creatures that live beneath the trees, on the forest floor, some are quite deadly,” Orea said in answer and she concentrated on speaking in the vernacular to the pair of flying unicorns.

Growing family "I think your mother should stand back and let us deal with this," I mumbled to her son Jackson. He smirked and shrugged his shoulders at his brave mom. We all turned when we heard the trees cracking and splitting apart. My eyes widened at the tall polynesian man with tentacles coming out of his head like cornrows. His eyes were large and bright yellow and he had neon blue octopus rings spread across his caramel colored flesh. His arms were thick and muscular with suction cups at the end of his long fingers. He was holding a thick silver trident.

Less than an hour after the spy was out of the way, a small but fast double topsail schooner, piloted by none other than Nalura, the OOD officer from Amera, docked on the underside of Mother Tree at the same place Bjorn and Aunt Sumia had sun-dipped for their first private meeting. Kurg, Crystellia, and Bjorn boarded. Everyone wore HB protection, but Bjorn was still glad the connection took place beneath Mother Tree. All above, rain fell in endless torrents. Sinkholes, rivers, and currents of mud ripped through Mother Tree’s root system. Only the mentally blind Cloud officials could honestly deny the reality of Clouds cry.

I almost fell down as I tried to keep with her. I swear I do not know which was about to give in. My ears or my foot as she kept on talking on and on about the forest and the spirits living here. “Manta is a snake spirit. He may look intimidating but he is really nice. He offers apple! Hailo is a Falcon, she’s very grumpy but you can trust her when you want to find something.” I almost tripped when she hopped over one huge log and ducked to avoid another. I looked back at the princes and saw that they were cautiously following us. Keeping a safe distance so that Serena would not bother them. Even my familiars are walking at the same pace as them.

Their expression turned sour. The woman grimaced and started to look panic, concerned for her workers. She turned to the guards to ask for help but they one of them already ran to the problem while one ran back to the windmill to inform the others. Now that they’re close, Jai could finally see what kind of creature mandrakes are. They look like the gigantification of mung beans, but they have leaves growing all over their body that made them look like another version of walking foliage. They also have one pair of tentacles each that have less leaves along the length. Jai couldn’t see if they have feet to move because the undersides were obscured by the leaves, but they did move slowly.

Like the same happiness, I felt way back when I was at Storm's pack, I was also feeling the same as I was evaded the trees that I was passing by. When I made sure I was too far already from the borderlines of our kingdom, I shifted back to my human form after I managed to clamp my claws to the body of the tree named yellow meranti which height is 331 ft. I held on to its body while my eyes were on the beautiful moon. The moon goddess was blessing us with her moonlight. It was a warm feeling.

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!”

The sudden shock made Manang Greta scream, and she quickly made her way to the door. Following Manang Greta, I walked in sync with her every step. Danica quickly caught up, and her driving could be seen in her step. A beautiful tree stretched up to the sky and stood tall on the side of the house. Its branches spread out, giving people below shade and protection. In the distance, past this beautiful tree, there was a hill with rough edges protected by simple bamboo walls. “Get down there, Ryker!” The moment I saw Ryker balancing dangerously on a tree branch, I let out a startled cry. He stretched his arm out hard towards a delicious mango fruit that was just out of reach.

"I have my eyes on you" I scoffed. What is it with this witch? Her eyes on me? I can't believe her gut. But then again, what does Jo's mean. "I know what happens beneath The Oak." The compound was popularly known as The Oak. We have the Lady of the oak who was Sumaya, as well as the princes of the Oak. The servants and the slaves of the Oak who were also known as the Oak's commodity. But how could anyone claim to know what happens beneath The Oak? It sounds absurd. Especially the fact that their couldn't be anything beneath the plantation or the numerous chambers.
