"I do not carry that knowledge, but the ancient sounds hold answers unknown to men. Unfortunately, however, our sacred tree has been usurped by the vile humans used for their experiments," answered the Elder.
"And what experiments are those?" asked Oren, and the shadow warrior stepped forward in protest.
"Oren…"
"We know not its purpose, only its effects. These humans are stealing mana, and life, from our lands. We have lost our sacred tree, rendering us unable to protect this forest against death. If you seek knowledge, then our sacred tree has survived since the beginning of dawn. It is the heart of this forest."
"And does your sacred tree have answers?"
"It speaks to us when it wishes, and the last time it did, it passed the words of Spirit Tree Regaline to us. It answers when it wishes, so I cannot give any promises."
