Those who watch from above

- POV Gaya -

When was the last time I was in front of this tree ? I didn't really know, everything was a bit confusing and my memories were even more so. On a whim I had decided to come back here but for what exactly ? What exactly do I want to do ? There I was, in front of the tree that had once stood in the middle of the most beautiful valleys, I remembered its scarlet leaves falling like a hair.

I remembered this color that had fascinated me so much when I was a young dragoness and that today was no more. This tree had been the pride of the dragons, standing alone in the middle of all of them every day of the year without ever weakening or even growing old. Today it had lost all its beauty and no longer fed by the mana of the beings around it was withering away, its brown trunk becoming black and sinister.
