The tree was in a particularly bad situation right now. A man shielding his son from a wolf, well a near death wolf.

It had all happened too quickly for the tree to realise, one second he was trying to communicate to the man and than a wolf appeared in its domain. It took the tree by surprise, it had never seen such a large and scary beast, it was nothing like the bugs, or even the man. The wolf is large, almost as big as the man, silver fur covered in dirt and now blood. It had swiped at the grown mans back in surprise, ‘how evil’ the tree thought. The wolfs claws tour through the mans clothes and into his flesh, blood gushed out of the three new wounds. Although the tree seemed surprised by the lack of resistance. The tree watched as the young man being guarded grabbed a fallen branch off the guard and lunged it towards the wolf. It was a hit, the branch stabbed into he wolfs legs and stuck, although not enough to stop the wolf from gashing a large chunk of the boys arm.

‘how brave’ The tree congratulated the boy, well only in its head though. ‘wait, don’t I’ with the trees increased brain power, it was coming up with a idea to save the child? I think, or kill them all? Either one works out.

The tree looked at the skills in front of it, was there a way for it to do anything? It looked through its skills, not noticing anything that could help it. It looked within itself, from the tips of its leafs to the bottom of its roots it couldn’t find anything. ‘WAIT, roots?’ The tree thought as it focused its conscious on the roots in the ground bellow. It tried to move them, pushing them, pulling them, but to no avail. The tree never had a reason to move so how would it know how to? the tree tried, straining its mind to do anything. ‘please just work’ The tree pleaded with itself, and something happened. A ball of light travelled through the trees interior and into the roots, which started to shake violently with the will of the tree. The earth in front of the tree shook violently and spilt apart only to revel a pack of sharp roots pouring out.
