Chapter 4 - The tree origins

Kyra curved up into a ball with her eyes, looking down at the floor, as Cane puts a warm blanket around her, as she looks up. He gives her a small smile. Meanwhile Blake is outside looking at the sky, as the stars sparkled almost like when Kyra help Blake to calm down. He closes his eyes, and a vison. 

He's in the place as he was before looking over the shoulder, and see it again, he booked it, as he breathes heavily again, with him tripping down again, and see a purple light on the ground that look like a leaf, the room turn into a bright white, he heard voice behind him. 

"Please, I beg of you." she said

A women voice echoed as the woman appear in a white dressed in with a purple necklace around her neck, for it was so bright that he couldn't see her face at all

"Please Blake, save them. You're our only hope left." She said.

He breathes in fear, as wakes up with a hand on his mouth, for it was Cane putting his finger on his lips telling him to be quiet. 

"Come with me." He said

Blake follows Cane, as like he wanted to show him something, as it still darks out and there hardly any people out, like it turns into a ghost town. As Cane led him to a tower as they take a shaft that barely seems to be holding together, as they reach top Cane show him something in the distance that is very bright and glowing. 

A tree with the leaf's glowing as well, that also brighten the night skies as well. 

"What is this?" He said. 

"That my friend... Is The Heaven Tree." He said.

As Blake still shock about that he nearly falls. 

"Careful now, this thing is very old." He said. 

"..."

"Now then, let me tell you a story. About the tree." He said.

Eons ago, the land we knew dying. Mankind nearly went extinct along the animals. That the forest was dying too, with the tree dead and food and water was almost impossible to find. That when they begin to prey for a miracle, and others except their fates. Then one day, a single tear fell from the skies and landed on a tree. And the tree mutates to something incredible. The Heaven Tree was born, with the tree help. Life what we all knew come to an end, was brought back to life. With food and water came back along with mankind and animals. But this gift came with a price. A dark and evil emerge from the ground, no one knew what they were. So, we call them... The Grimmers. They attack people when they're not looking, and destroy many kingdoms, and they thought that this was the end this time. But this time, instead from a gift, they were rescued. The tree gave humanity a way to fight back, and with that came a new world order and leaders to follow and all kingdoms need a leader too. The capitol.

"And there you go, that's basically all what happen back then. He said.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because you need all the strength you need for tomorrow. He said.

He look at him confusion. 

"Tomorrow?" He said.

'We're going hunting tomorrow. After seeing you grab the king from us fighting. I think your ready for the test." Now come on, we got a big day tomorrow. And also, go to blacksmith in the morning. You need gear." He said. 

Blake looks at the tree and, head back to the cabin with him. Not realizing a big black foggy figure in the skies.
