18 - Residents of the Flower Maze

Upon hearing the whispers, i decided to land on one of the branches that had enough space. Now that i had a closer view of the tree formed encasement, i could see that the branches of what i thought was a single tree were actually the individual thin thread-like trees that made up the thick singular appearance of the main body, they broke away from the main body at the top, fanning out like a nervous system. These thread-like trees didn't have individual branches but rather posed as the branches of the main tree. Each one had leaves decorating the ends similar to an umbrella, followed below by a few other layers of leaves set up in the same umbrella-like way but smaller, clearly less developed. The fruits hung on individual stems with each 'branch' having multiple lantern fruits. Just like some plants from the ground level, the leaves of these trees appeared to have carvings made from light, however the glow on these ones were much duller and almost imperceivable.
