We have learned some disturbing news this day. We met what appeared to be a young Silver Dragon (I rather wish I had gotten it’s name), and it informed us about the recently missing tree. Apparently, the tree is a carnivorous plant, and the evil blood-sucking vines that surrounded it were there to keep it from escaping and wrecking havoc. Interestingly, the tree itself is not evil. Still, now it will likely try to find the nearest settlement where it can sate its hunger.
We were gravely mistaken about the nature of the evil vines surrounding the tree. There are two lessons my mentor frequently tried to teach me which I feel have bearing on this matter:
1.) “Mistakes happen, and you must learn from them. Those who do not learn from their mistakes are destined to repeat them.”
From our mistake, I have learned that just because something is evil doesn’t mean it’s not serving the greater good. And just because something isn’t evil doesn’t mean it’s not out to get you.
2.) “An act, once done, cannot be undone. But it may yet be mitigated.”
We must work to keep the tree from continuing it’s predatory ways. Whether this means destroying the tree, containing it, or at the very least, following it and warning any and all towns of it’s approach, we must do what we can.
((Note: Quote 2 is blatantly taken from the character “Dinobot” in an episode of “Beast Wars”. I make no claim to having originated it.))
