"...You're putting in more of a struggle than I thought."
Seraphina's lips pulled upwards as she noticed the tree still resisting her. Although there were several dozen threads connected to the tree, it had still not fully submitted to her.
It was still resisting her.
Flicking her head back to stare in the direction of the walls of the distant city, she nodded faintly and pressed her hand against the bark of the tree.
"I shouldn't delay this for any longer."
The mana around her started to agglomerate rapidly and an intense pressure suddenly burst out of her body.
In order for everything to flow smoothly, she needed to take complete control of the tree.
She was nearly there but was just missing the last piece.
"Stop struggling."
Treads appeared all around, and her mind focused on one particular spot.
Towards where an owl-like figure stood.
'I see you.'
