"A tree?" Raven frowned, her sharp eyes narrowing as she stared at the tree before her.
"It looks like a normal one... but why does it feel so strange?" Thalia muttered, her tone carrying a hint of unease as her fingers gently traced the rough bark of the tree's trunk.
"You said this appeared everywhere, right?" Emberlyn asked, her brows furrowing as she crossed her arms.
Drakhairs nodded, "Yes, these trees have sprouted all over the funnels we built around the Empire."
A tense silence followed as everyone gazed at the massive tree that had suddenly emerged within the funnel—an intricate structure designed to collect flames that once strengthened the Emperor, their saviour!
But now, it wasn't just a single funnel affected. Multiple funnels across the Empire had mysteriously given rise to these bizarre, unfamiliar trees.
/Are you watching this, husband?/ Raven telepathically asked.
