A angry tree looks at its surrounding, as was requested by the mysterious annoying voice that work it up. It was different than what the tree remembers, there wasn’t layers of snow anymore, just small puddles with little clumps of snow scattered the trees domain. This of course wasn’t the biggest surprise to the tree, the roots that the tree had moved to attack the wolf had moved themselves to a defensive position. The roots probably more than he had controlled had pocked out of the ground face towards the sky and outward from the tree. As if to announce that any who come near to take the treasure shall perish. Although soon the tree learned of what this treasure was.

While surveying the new looking domain, the tree looked at itself in detail and noticed something new hanging from its branches. A gourd shaped fruit with a slight reddish tinge, but the strange thing was that the tree could feel the fruit. As in it was like a branch to the tree, every sensation that effected the fruit the tree felt. This interested the tree greatly, sleep can wait.

‘What is this?’

A question was posed by the tree to the voice

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

‘It’s a magi fruit, A result of a substance and mana being mixed and exerted from, well, a tree’

The voice muttered at the end, maybe it was trying not to offend the tree.

‘I have long acknowledge I am a tree, was this thing you needed help with?’

‘Well yes, and no’

A moment of silence

‘Let me introduce myself. I am Nina, a forest fae. The problem with those fruits being produced, is that humanity has started to emerge in the forest more and more.’

‘Why would a simple fruit make them come to the forest?’

‘Because those fruits can offer humanity many benefits when they consume it’

‘So they will come and harvest them, what is it to me to help you?’

‘Well’ Nina paused ‘ Look at the ground around your roots’

So the tree did, Domain view quickly expanded in the trees mind and it focused on the ground near the roots. A small white object lay still, A root move down and pick of the object. The tree inspected it closer and realised it to be skull of a wolf. The tree looked around more, only to find dozens more skulls laying half in the mud.

Nina spoke softly and tiredly, as if she was almost to the point of breaking ‘While you were sleeping little one, the humans have used the blood of creatures of Gaia to make blood fruits’

The tree paused in thought, It did not care about the fruits nor the animals. It cared that something dared to do something to make the tree wake up. In the trees mind it was simple, If Nina was keeping it awake to save to the animals and the animals were dying to make blood fruits for the humans, isnt it simple. The best solution would to be kill Nina, but the tree see no material body. so plan B, Stop making the blood fruit.
