Chapter 172: Prep For War; Feeling (P3)

It's more of a surprise to me the voice the Giant tree creature uses than the fact that it speaks at all.

The sound I hear are of several voices in a loud, resounding chorus, all of them beautiful things that cause the surrounding grass life to shiver and grow. Even the ones squashed beneath my butt struggle to stand upright, I can clearly feel them squirming and shifting, and see them growing from underneath me.

I give them the space they need and sit on a rock instead.

The giant tree creature does not smile, not actively. The faces on its several heads seem to be embedded there permanently, I suppose those will no shift. Even the mouth where one would suspect a voice would come through doesn't move.

I'm left staring at a beautiful tree root sculpted face as I speak with it, but I don't mind, it's a marvel anyway.
