Seed of Creation

Ritual of Growth allowed Taivena to sprout a Tree of Creation, though evne with it there was nothing of change within forest or nature itself, forcing her and the forest to fall silent and began to ponder, despite her attempts and years of preparation, nothing changed and nature remained as vulnerable as before, as if entire power used was wasted for nearly nothing more but growing another colossal tree. Natures combined efforts to create new force that it would need to protect itself has failed, leaving it drained and more vulnerable.

Forest Spirit let out a loud sigh as she sat on the ground and began to mediate over the issue, having to think of any other way to support the nature before it would be too late to make any choice. Her thoughts repeatedly kept returning towards the Tree of Origin itself, though at first she tried to dismiss them, not wanting to risk her own relations with fairies and elfs as she knew that any attempt to binding herself with the tree would be taken as hostile action towards the two nature related races.

Clearly times called for act like such, especially with Vampire Queen growing in strength, unstable deity running around and finally old witch and devils working together. the very balance of nature was hanging on edge and without power to protect it there was only one possible solution to be done, she knew it and finally admitted it to herself with bitter tears. She was helpless and so was forest, she had to break promise she made to herself, soon standing up and slowly marching towards the edge of the island before turning into swarm of butterflies.

Little insects designation was clearly the center of natural shade, the roots of Origin, place from where she would have tried to enter the tree itself, to face fairies and elfs, hoping that they will listen to her plea, even if it would mean her literally begging them to let her speak with the tree itself at its core. She wished to avoid the bloodshed but if needed she was ready to sacrifice some of the living existences, for sake of far the rest to survive. Her arrival didn't go unnoticed, most elfs and fairies unfamiliar with her existence gathered up, curious and cautious with their weapons prepared.

Rather quickly Taivena found herself surrounded by whispering and mumbling crowd which only spread apart as the Royalty slowly approached her in company of the royal guard in form of both races standing side to side, clearly ignoring their size difference. In respect and sign of arriving with no hostile intentions, as expected her appearance wasn't taken too lightly, as the guards aimed their weapons at her. She closed her eyes and sighed loudly before deciding to speak of her reasoning behind the sudden arrival, asking for understanding of how dire her news were, begging herself deeply for others to believe her.

She was prepared for even the worst situation where she would have been attacked by the guards, though looking quite surprised as he was simply laughed and answered with cold and harsh denial, she felt tears forming in her eyes as she tried to speak, instantly being silenced and threatened with death if she wouldn't leave the place at once. She was not capable of understanding what else she was supposed to do thus she literally dropped on her knees with her head and arms aimed towards the ground, suddenly exclaiming with pitiful tone, begging the others to at least allow to prove herself and her intentions to save the nature.

At first her response was met with laughter and slander sent towards her existence, soon joined by anything that local citizens could have found on the ground, sending it flying at the giant spirit. Though after a while everyone suddenly fell silent as one of the members of the royalty spoke, demanding Taivena to stand the sacred trials to prove the purity of her cause, soon demanded to follow the others towards where her trial were to begin.

Place to which she was led to looked like ancient ruins partly devoured by the tree itself, with many visible cracks working as access for the light to reach the dark interiors of the moss covered and overgrown stones with one partly destroyed doorway. She listened carefully to instructions given to her before taking a deep breath and slowly walking inside, not really understanding what to expect within the stone tomb. It didn't took long for her to realize that her own powers disappeared, she couldn't control nature anymore, neither she could grow fruits or use her sap. Her deepest fear striking her at as she though worst moment, nearly sending her to state of panic, only stopped as she suddenly remembered the reason behind her even appearing her.

She sighed and took a deep breath before deciding to resume her march deeper, with her heart beating like crazy from fear as she couldn't exactly apprehend reasoning behind her powers vanishing. She tried to keep her mind focused on her goal, before suddenly stopping as she spotted a familiar looking persona slowly nearing her, forcing her eyes to widen in terror as she watched her perfect copy walking towards her, covered in blood, gore and with crimson red eyes. Her own copy chuckled loudly and spoke with clearly sinister tone, offering some of the flesh for her to devour. She scowled at herself and shook her head violently, fighting her own hunger with closed eyes.

Suddenly entire world began to spin around as she was sent flying backwards by her evil reflections strike, clearly not liking her response, roaring the demand yet again while charging another strike, soon sending it again at Taivena, leaving her with exploding pain and hole within her body after hearing her denial. She felt faint and familiar tingling as her powers returned though not daring to respond with anything, standing same as she stood before against ones who decided to attempt to kill her and burn the forest. Expecting another strike and instead feeling how the pain disappeared, along with hole in her body and her evil copy. She observed the area before deciding to stand up and continue her march onward.

After a long moment of walking she found herself in a weirdly shaped room, filled with nothing more but bushes filled with ripe fruits, small waterfall of clean water and a single beam of light bounced off by the mirror, pointing towards opposite side of the room with  hole in it, the wall itself had basic drawing en-carved with it, explaining how mechanism in here worked, explaining that one had to wait for the right time for the light to reach the designation, which was the hole itself. For the first time the trial was obvious, making it possible for forest spirit to sit down and close her eyes, allowing the time to pass with her remaining in place, waiting and observing everyday how the light slowly proceeded towards its goal, until after what felt like years and was in truth months, it shined through the hole, forcing the wall to crack and slowly spread aside, opening the pathway for Taivena to proceed.

Her walk onward didn't last long as the stone walls finally gave way to merged roots of the tree itself, narrowing the tunnel until suddenly increasing in distance as she walked into large open area with weird object connected with roots and branches to the rest of the tree, it was obvious by now that she reached her goal, lone thought of it forced her to her knees, as she stared at the very heart of the tree of Origin sparkling and pulsing with faint green light. She shuddered as a loud voice boomed in her head, congratulating her passing the trial and asking for her reasoning behind appearing.

Her mind puzzled forced her to take a moment to realize that it was the tree itself speaking to her, very same tree that remained silent for all of her life, a one blank spot around the world that she couldn't view, one that brought her to life in form of little turnip. She bowed down and began explaining the situation with trembling voice, hoping that the tree was listening to her as she spoke. For her relief it did indeed listened to her, soon responding and starting a long and detailed conversation with her, as if trying to learn more from the spirit herself about her own existence, taking its time in collecting information that it needed before responding and offering her to touch its heart as part of the last trial. It was meant to decide if all her work and trouble were to meet with both of their forms joining into one or would ending with Taivena disappearing forever.

Spirit itself did as was asked, slowly placing her hand on the heart and feeling as odd sensation and existence breached into her body, until a blinding light exploded from the heart itself, forcing her mind to go blank as both of of the forces of nature joined into one, in form and power that neither could exist alone. Though looked as is nothing changed, while both forms remained separate, but now the humanoid spirit one was capable of reappearing into life yet again, as long as the heart of Creation existed.
