Both Sword Shield Rose and Saruman Snake were training behind closed doors. There was nothing else that they needed to be worried about now. They did not have to consider what was to come either.

Covering several thousand square kilometres. It was not known if these were thorny trees or if the original forest was invaded by the thorns, and co-existed thereafter.
