216 Chapter 216(18+)

A Large tree stood before me, reaching up into the sky, its roots dug deep into a verdant land. My eyes were locked onto its majesty, and all else was blurry. I thought it was day but I could not have said if asked as all my mind was focused on the tree. In the back of my mind, I realized this was a dream, but I could not do anything but focus on the tree. The wind whistled and a few of the branches and leaves of the great tree rustled, and for a moment I swear I could hear words, as though the tree was speaking to me.

"Aiden, find us, dig your roots deeper."

I felt a pulling sensation and things began to darken and fade.

The wind picked up. "The queen is the link, but even before we called, we all called. Find…"

Darkness took over my vision and all went black, the words being cut off. I felt dizzy and like I couldn't think properly, but any hope of waking myself up was dashed as a new scene formed around me, far different than the tree and verdant lands.
