Red Root

Saeldir stood up from his chair and walked towards the shelf where he kept many things.

But one of the things neatly stored in the glass case is the red thing that looks like a root.

The roots were red and too big for a normal tree. Even the roots looked like lumps of flesh because of the color and the red liquid that kept oozing out.

It was Aurdis who identified that thing as a root. According to her story, she saw it sticking out of the bodies of the Trolls that attacked her.

It moved like living plant tendrils. That alone proved that that thing wasn't a root at all.

But since Aurdis didn't bother with finding a suitable name, "root" was how she chose to call it.

Saeldir didn't correct Aurdis any further because he didn't know what it was.

The red thing was now locked in a glass case.

Saeldir created a Magic that sealed it so it couldn't do anything.

Saeldir felt that the object was alive. And it definitely has the intention of causing trouble.
