Sequence she/they Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Everyone realized this as well. They had previously assumed that Withergiests were created by the Witherlord, but Everyone was prone to being wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the group approached the tree, they saw its scars more clearly. It wasn't pretty. The tree's bark and flesh was splintered as well as charred, as if whatever had struck it had also blown it to pieces. The tree's glow - for it was glowing, just like the threads that filled the sky - was flickering haphazardly, like a dying man's breath. Fallen leaves lined the floor, marked also with withered blackness. The survey felt... something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
