It was as if Eva was talking with the nature and it was responding back, if it was not the most difficult time for the clan, Zach would have sat down and enjoyed his mate's magic.
When Eva touched the oldest banyan tree in the forest her eyes became sad, she bowed her head in apology while kneeling down in front of it. She turned to Zach, "bring them here". Zach nodded and started running back to the festival ground.
Zach reached back to his clan member, they had rage when they looked at him, his eyes searched for Lisa " can you bring all these women with me it's urgent".
Lisa frowned " Zach moving them is not good, right now they are within the barrier and once it is removed all will be lost". Marcus looked at Zach he had known Zach for many many years, though all that was happening shook his trust but still he felt he need to give him the chance.
Zach looked at every single face of his pack members, some were in rage, some distrustful, some in doubt and few with relief. This meant there were some that trusted him. Mustering all his confidence he spoke " what if we made each female sit together and make them pass through by lifting them, I think by this we can keep the barrier. Lisa you can walk with us in case something happens.
The whole clan worked together to keep the barrier intact and with the coordination they managed to maintain it, though
each step was too slow and time was limited for them it was a necessary measure.
With only 10 minutes were left, they reached the huge banyan tree. There was already an energy circle around it. Eva's hairs were floating around her and her eyes were golden. A circle of fairy dust encircled her. With a nod she asked " let the woman enter the circle and noone other than them should enter inside".
Slowly woman were moving inside, some were exhaling the build up tension, while there were still some voices behind the group of people grumbling " what would you do, if she trap them inside with here weird mojo".
Martha glared and loudly spoke " those who have doubts should not send them inside, once the hour is up you can do your own mojo".
Everything soon went quiet, soon the woman who went inside became unconscious again and long branches of banyan tree wrapped around them, it was a formation between tree and women with Eva at the center. Their was soon a visible change though women were still same as before tree was slowly rotting away in front of their eyes.
Lisa's eyes were wide, because she worked in healing it was easier to see energy flow for her, the tree was channeling the dark energy from the women to itself but it would be detrimental if it took so much dark energy altogether. So, Eva was a conductor, who filtered out small amount of dark energy one at time and tree was also sending green energy back to them. As the dark energy went inside the tree it was enough for it to start rotting.
Eva who was still touching the tree had tears flowing from her eyes,but with a resolve she continued but her lips kept murmuring apology " I am sorry, I will try my best to repay you. I promise. Please a little more, just a little more".
Five minutes it took and energy chamber evaporated, with woman slowly waking up. Their mates ran to them while Zach ran to Eva who was sobbing hard while holding now dead tree. With tears filled eyes she spoke " it was in so much pain from removing all the dark energy from these woman. Trees are the source of pure green energy which act as the best purifier. But old trees are the most rich in its energy source".
She caressed the charred tree " banyan trees are special, there was a story in my world that banyan tree was an asura by nature but a worshipper of God. It prayed for millions of years to ask God to live inside it to balance the dark yin energy in it. So, it carries both dark and light ( yin and yang) energy around it. This made it easy for him to absorb the yin from these women and give them it's yang power".
All the clan members bowed their heads for the sacrifice this tree made to save them, it lived for may be ten thousands of years ago or more but still it sacrificed it's lives for us.
Rudolf cleared his throat " because of the sacrifice this tree made for all these women from our clan, I name it as the holy tree of wolves and this day will be celebrated as the banyan festival and all the men and women will worship it while planting trees in this forest and it will be the responsibility for those twelve wolf family to protect those tree of this forest and plant many more all year round, and not just this specific day".
Everyone clapped, Zach held Eva tightly "let's go, you look pale while working on this formation". Eva shook her head " no their is one more thing to do" her eyes flashed with anger and rage.
