It was silver gray with green eyes and a green tail. The bark-like skin made him think of the willow tree. The tail branched out like the willow tree’s branches. Quinn had to have one for his tree, so he ordered two, one for his place and one for Willow to put in her house.

"Our journey, my love, has been nothing short of extraordinary. The garden, this tree, and the principles we hold dear have transformed not only our lives but the lives of countless others." Roberick nodded, his gaze fixed on the ancient oak. "We have witnessed the enduring power of love, wisdom, and justice. Our legacy is not confined to our kingdom; it is a legacy of inspiration and hope for the world." As they stood beneath the ancient oak, bathed in the moon's gentle glow, they shared a moment of silent communion with the tree. It was a moment of gratitude for the life they had built together and for the principles that had guided them.

"I got you a gift, but if you don't like it, I won't be offended." Oak takes the package and grabs my hand, forcing me to sit next to him on the sofa. "I'm sure I'll love it."

I had bought that pothos on the day I moved into the new house, and Marcus had helped me water it for the first time. He had said, "Jules, this plant is like us. Once it takes root, it never moves." Roots. He had torn every one of mine from the ground.

All of it disappearing behind us. "I'm sorry," I said. "Don't apologize. Just stay alert. Stay close to me. And don't trust anyone except me and Marcus." "Okay." We drove for two hours. Out of the city, past the suburbs, into the kind of empty that only came when you got far enough away from everything. Finally, Cole pulled off the main road onto a dirt track. Trees on both sides. No houses. No people. Just us. At the end of the track was a small cabin. Cole did a full perimeter check before letting me out. Gun drawn. All business. When he came back, he nodded.

Rowan said, pointing through the trees. Kael rested his hand on the hilt of his sword. "We stay together." Nobody argued. We followed the sound. The forest changed as we walked. The pines gave way to older trees. Their branches spread so wide that the sunlight barely reached the ground. The air smelled of wildflowers. Then... I saw it. An oak tree. Its trunk split into two before reaching the branches. The same tree from my mother's drawing. "The orchard," Elias whispered. No one moved.
