I turned around to find some wildflowers growing under a tree around its twisted roots. But the flowers were wilted and were drooping unlike any other flowers.
I walked over and crouched down to touch the stem of the plant in an attempt to find its root.
"Vim vitae vigorum vitae" I muttered several times and notice the flowers crane their necks. They were once again healthy and bright. I smiled.
"Very well then. You have learnt how to use the spell." I heard Finn say from behind me as I stood up again from the ground.
"So next lesson?" I said as I turned to him.
"We really don't have to hurry."
And then Finn made me practice the spell several times on different things he picked up from the forest floor. Dead leaves, twigs, rotten fruits, flowers, even fallen logs. I wondered if he had planned to turn every dead thing around us into living objects.
