Heila’s Fate

During Ashlynn's trial with the Ancient Willow, the specter of Cecile had appeared to guide her in the Willow's Way, teaching her the healing arts she needed to master in order to face the Ancient Willow's trial. 

Now, that very same specter had appeared before Heila, once again coming to guide her through the trial. This time, however, the specter took a much heavier hand with Heila than she could have with Ashlynn. After all, Ashlynn was the current Mother of Trees. There were limits to what a Willow Witch could do against the person who was born to lead all witches of the forest. 

But Heila, Heila was supposed to be her successor as the next Willow Witch and Cecile refused to allow her to pass this trial if she wasn't up to her standards.
