My offer was met with extreme silence. The trees in front of me kept swaying their trunks, while I heard a strange shrieking whisper from them.
It was obvious they were discussing my proposal, and I knew my offer wasn't that easy to decide upon. After all, some stranger human like me came to them asking to move away and follow her like master.
Yet I didn't feel any awkwardness from this, I was totally confident that following me was the right decision anyone would take in their lives.
"Listen kid, I know you asked this out of good will but we don't follow anyone."
The harsh and cold response coming from the mother of Treefor. I didn't faze as she added, "and about that treasure in your hand, it's better to hand it to us peacefully. After all, you are too weak to stand against us, and your two ugly creatures back there are left alone; and we are surrounding them."
