Prologue 57 (Part 1) Another surprise
Kazu Nini stared at the 62nd plant she had held since she entered this place.
By now she was able to discern a few things.
Firstly wood showed the first stage in collaborating with earth, it helped what was planted to grow.
Next, Wind was what happened before a rain so she saw it as she second stage
And finally, the lightening which fell in sheets, bolts and intense flashes before deafening booms and mind numbing peals of thunder.
Kazu Ninibsae it as a sequence, but with all her mental energy she felt stuck.
Sighing she got out of the 62nd trance and picked up a flower which began her 63rd one.

ZAP!
What she saw changed;
Instead of the passing of a years worth of time in fast forward that sowed all four seasons and the particular flower in his habitat faring in each, now it was a soil and a seed fell atop it which stayed through the 4 seasons.
The 1st Season, Winter saw its seed inactive and dying.
The 2nd Season, Spring saw rain which looked kike electric sparks pouring atop it and return colour to its form.
The 3rd Season, Summer showed up and the seed had a tiny sprout that basked in the sun.
The 4th season, Fall saw the leaves change color as it began turning brownish.
ZAP!
She returned to herself and squinted her eyes.
Bizarrely, the 4 images in her head did not leave her mind as though imprinted there and she smiled;
It was a good thing that she had ultimately began on the plant to the extreme left.

This time, the tree passed through 8 years;
Every winter its growth halted.
Every Spring it grew boisterously under the sizzling rain.
Every summer it grew but clearly slower than in the previous season
Every Fall they would turn brown
ZAP!
Her mind school like she had been softly tapped from sleep but wanted ever oh, so, stubbornly to return.
The pictures in her mind now showed a 5 meter tall tree with branches anf fruits that had carvings in them that resembled details engraved in wood by an expert Woodsmith, though they still looked juicy.
Smiling widely, the Pixie continued her slow enlightenment.

She watched 10 years flash by in the trees life but the same level of progress was like before. It almost as if the tree needed more nutrients to sustain its growth now.
In the winter it did not move, even thr cold winds did not move it in the slightest
In the Spring, the lightening falling was louder now and struck closer to the tree although not touching it.
However, the wind fell on its body as though it wanted to uproot the plant. Some roots even protruded from the surface before the surprisingly began a slow struggle as it fought for its stability like that was its life.
Also, during this time, more fruits grew, but these ones had a different shape than the ones with carvings
In the summer, the sun felt hotter and leaves bloomed, with the tree adding 5 more metres in one go.
The Fall had stringer winds than before. And the roots were once more exposed. But just when the tree had tilted a full 80 degree's, it hed back then firmly planted itself.
The new fruits looked more real as though once only barely gaseous but now milky mist.
ZAP!
She awoke with a slight headache as she stared at the 40 meter tree now in her thoughts.
Slowly, she stood up and continued.

10 years passed by again.
Winter had its winds stronger than before, frost lining the tree like it wanted to encase it in ice.
Spring had even terrible winds up to 5 knots and the branches only went out a quarter way before they sat back down.
New fruits also dangled on branches, that seemed to be gelatinous and silver.
Summer had its leaf stretching out to form small umbrellas, its trunk further darkening its green and its stem shooting up a few more meters.
Fall seasons winds came at a speed of 40 knots! In the background lightening poured on the trees soil
It was so hard that the poor tree had its roots as thick as arms being dragged 3/4th of the way out.
In a bitter struggle, the tree fought against a terrible aspect of nature and eventually... it won and slammed its rota back into the earth.
The fruits on its surface now shining a brilliant and molten silver as the tree now stood a full 150 meters above ground in her mind
ZAP!
Her head hurt like she had been roughly woken from deep slumber and she frowned at the pain before moving forward to hold the next plant.

This time was not 10 years but 276!
In this time the winter came and actually froze the tree up.
Then, it surprisingly shook as though as though a human where violently shrugging off a thrown blanket or reacting shivering in intense disgust.
The ice was broken and next was spring.
From Molten, the fruits became solid like plastic but where still see through if you looked close enough.
As these fruits developed, the tree braced itself against a wind of 100 knots! While lightening rages in the background.
For a long time it tough until 2/5th of its trunks as fat as a torso came out.
When it won, they wriggled back in and she thought she heard the tree snort.
In the summer, its trunk fattened and grew abnormally until it was at least 20 meters across. Its leaves stretched and arced out like a house cat.
The fall however came with chilling wind of 250 knots!
The fruits solidified as though they were precious sones lik diamond as the tree fought for its life.
Back and forth like a see-saw the fat trunk oscillated between being planted and beng partially removed
When it was done, it stood a good 300 meters above ground, its leaves lile gazebos and its branches like cars.

During the winter, the cold planned to encase it in ice but the fat branches actually slapped the cold winds away!
In the Spring wind fell at a speed of 400 knots but the tree did not look bothered because of that. Now though what it had to face was lightening.
But lightening no longer dances in the background like the previous time she had observed its spring.
A single bolt hit the trunk and then it caught fire for a while before it quenched out.
Next, surprising Kazu Nini, the tree began to heal, its smoking black trunk recovered to its almost night green shade. And the 2 sets of fruits on its body were back to their pristine form.
In the Summer the branches and the leaves all grew to impressive proportions.
In the Fall it was only wind of 500 knots which barely seemed to phase the tree. In fact, biy all the wind smashing against it passed through.
And as Kazu Nini realised it was probably cultivating, she was woken up.
ZAP!
The Pixie felt a light migraine and shook to her feet. Her vision was not perfect for the first dew seconds but the adjusted back to normal.

The tree slapped chunks shards of ice aimed at it and shrugged off the winter wind.
Spring came and 99 bolts struck the tree, falling in sets of 9.
Each time, it burnt and healed to burn and heal again. And again, and again, while fruits that were releasing a humming sound began becoming visible on its branches.
The Wind of 600 knots were almost ignored by the tree
The summer came and the tree explosively grew again, its trunk darkening once more, but also glistening.
Fall retuned with loud wind and the latest set of fruits began releasing a more pronounced droning sound.
ZAP.
The migraine hit her this time and her sight swam as she staggered to her feet. Then she caught her self on her feet by stamping them and doing a sumo squat. Proceeding forward she braced her mind.
800th plant.

ZAP!
Instead of a 100 years like the last 2, Kazu Nini saw 374 years pass by.
Chunks of ice flew with the trunk that resemble a truck smashed them apart or split them in the middle.
Sometimes they were directly crushed.
Spring came and 999 strikes hit the tree, but it was recovering so fast that it looked like the tree and lightening were simply staging a show with 900 knots of wind as a spectator which the tree fought against.
It's fruits now buzzed with plasma energy stuck within.
In the summer, the tree shot up until she could not see the top, its branches like stadiums and it's leaves like mansions.
The dark green grew a deeper shade and it's fruits exploded in scale to small cars!
In the fall, the tree was besieged by 1,000 knot of wind which crackled in its approach.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Which each explosion, its completely yanked roots slammed back into the earth.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The last set of fruits crackling with lightening was the last thing she saw before she was returned to consciousness.
ZAP!
*Wait,* she thought, *why is everything still dark?*
She fought to open her eyes and could no stand as a ringing sound toom a full hour to clear.
The only clear thing was the image of a tree which was 999 meters tall and having a dark glistening trunk shoot to the skies.
She looked around before remembering where she was to glance at the last plant.
She could not tell what the name of this plant was, but it radiated power.
After what she just expressed she was not sure if she wanted to but she had already come this far.
Sighing, she grabbed the plant to once more see the 999 meter tall tree.
Winter came, and so Spring, did Summer and so did Fall.
On and on and on, a full 99 times for each.
And for each one, cracks appeared arop the trunk and the surface. Some were minute and others large.
Then, 201 years passed and the Tree 1st exploded one more meter to make a full 1,000.
BOOOOM!
For the remaining 200 though, it shrunk till it was about her height. Each yearly reduction was an echoing explosion in her consciousness.
Another 201 years passed and the cracks on its surface formed body parts.
Of the 201,
The first 67 did the external form of a being with 2 arms and 2 feet and a bald head.
Of he same 201,
The next 67 chiseled out its form so that it had a graceful figure.
Of the same 201,
The next 67 did all its or bodily systems, organs, chitin, and hair.
However, 3 sets of fruits still hung on its body.
Then, 201 passed again and the 3 sets of fruits on its body fell off.
The first 67 years passed and the fruits zipped to the middle of a spot just below where a navel would be. Then all the like fruits melted into themselves before forming one gree ruit with cravings, a silver white one with gust surrounding it and the final crackling with lightening.
Of the same 201 years,
The next 67 years had a smaller ball of fire became an inferno that sped out so fast she squinted her eyes from the trace but opened them back wide to see that it became a middle pearl that held them together. The entire thing was ball within a ball.
Then, they sunk into the creatures navel as a ball divided into 3 parts and a ball of fire in the middle of everything that held it all together
Of the same 201 years,
The final 67 years had the ball beat slowly but steadily until it grew in pace and matches that of a normal heart.
Each thump spread colourless liquid into the creatures body and it writhed and jerked and spasmed until it suddenly went eerily still.
Kazu Nini was so enraptured she was gaping, and when it turned its head to her she flinched.
Suddenly it spoke and she forced her consciousness to hear what it saud.
ZAP!
But the words were faster than sound, so it was only after her consciousness was bringing her in and out of the present that she heard it.
