Chapter 53: The Twin Gods pt.1

Around the time Joselin left to engage Teelin...

John emerged from the shadows in a more isolated area of the national park throwing Pan onto his back, scarring the earth beneath him as he slid 4 meters before rolling to his feet. On guard in his ebony-colored suit of armor and wings that seemingly defied any known logic of physics.

As he looked around at his new surroundings, he noticed that it was something that wasn't right as soon as his eyes laid upon an eerie tree with white luminescent leaves. The tree's bark had white luminescent lines that ran from the leaves down through the bark of the tree and down into its roots. 

As Pan looked at the tree for a moment, he knew what it was as he watched as the white luminescent lines on the bark pulsed upward through the tree's bark and into the leaves making the whole area brighter.
