The great eagle was shocked and started screeching at Glorfindel again.
"This is impossible! I was here not even half a month ago. I clearly remember this place being full of sick and dying pines, and it was covered in snow!"
Glorfindel carefully observed around and said.
"You weren't wrong, my old partner. This place was a pine forest not too long ago. But the pines were all taken down....to become food."
He picked up a rock and threw it into the water. The water bubbled and dirt started evaporating. A reed lifted itself to reveal the rotting trunk of a pine tree half-submerged in the water. The roots from multiple reeds extended themselves like tentacles to firmly grab the pine trunk, absorbing the nutrients within.
