Your choice , it said , Comes at a greater cost than you know .

It then vanished , the trees heartbeat is synchronized with my own and the light which spills out of it pours across the clearing , casting long , wavy shadows against the twisting roots that moved like snake around its base .

The pulse of its life is weirdly soothing , and yet the air is stretched tight over the threat of a storm .

I take one step closer and the pendant around my chest stirs weakly .

My essence is absorbed , feeding the groves renewal .

Im gone , a shadow in its legacy , my name whispered only in passing .

The vision fades , leaving me trembling .
