The Predicament of Her Feeling

Aurdis blinked her eyes quickly. "(What do you mean?)"

"(As I said. It's not a good thing. You brought the root of a forbidden tree,)" Saeldir said.

"(A forbidden tree?)" Aurdis immediately sat down on the chair in front of Saeldir so she could listen to his explanation better.

"(Calamitimee Vardarianna,)" Saeldir said. "(You've heard of that?)"

Aurdis shook her head. "(I've never heard of it. Is that Quenya?)"

"(Yeah. But that's the Quenya language spoken by generations who were born long before us. It's ancient Quenya. It means the Tree of Calamity,)" Saeldir said.

Aurdis swallowed her saliva. That name does sound bad.

Even just by hearing that name, Aurdis already knew what harm they could get.

"(So where is the red root now?)" Aurdis asked.

Saeldir pointed behind him.

Aurdis tilted her head and saw the red thing in the middle of a Magic circle.

The red thing seemed alive and squirming like a worm that wanted to get out of the circle.
