The air around them was filled with the soft rustling of leaves and the faint hum of energy emanating from the tree, a testament to the life force that pulsed through it.

Kirin nodded in agreement. "I'll scout the perimeter with Selene. Elias, you and Morgana check the tree. See if there's anything we missed." He looked to Elara, his expression softening. "You should rest. You've done more than enough."

Elara shook her head. "I'm fine. We need to understand what happened here, and why that figure was guarding the tree."
