Gnigit Summerstar usually spent her time sleeping between each of the various festivals sometimes missing them in her sleep. But not this year this year was special. she was singled out by a tree spirit that needed a new perspective.

“A new perspective?” normally if a tree spirit has a problem they will find there satisfaction during the dance of spirits. Still a tree spirit taking the form of an elf to dance with elves is a little eccentric especially for such a young spirit. That dance left me twitchy and excited like a girl not even a hounded years of age yet. she would find out what this tree wanted herself.

“Natalia get dressed I know you just got ready for meditation but I am going out and you are coming with me in case I need some tasks done.” Gnigit smiled at the sound of her apprentice as she jumped off of her meditation mat four rooms down and missed her footing it would sound by the thump as something about the weight of a young girl hit the ground. If this tree singled her out for something stupid than she would have her apprentice handle it and tell the gardeners she had been forced to deal with a vary whimsical tree and the tree should be marked as such. The only thing more annoying than silly people are silly tree’s.

Hearing her name Natalia jumped. she could not have meditated that long. she paled when she realized that the voice belonged to master Summerstar herself. she felt her legs weaken at the sound of her masters voice it was not until her body hit the ground that her brain compiled the command from her master. She jumped of the ground with renewed vigor what ever had Master Summerstar herself active after the festival was over she was merely there to save her master time. Wall Master Gnigit Summerstar was the most gifted and powerful of elfin enchanters and the best teacher in the forest being marked as silly by her was the worst thing that could happen to an elf in this forest short of being forbidden from returning.

The tree stood among his friends guiding the warmth of the son to them insuring that the light was not to bright and not to dark for each one. He could tell that the fast ones the elves where bustling in a manner that is not normal they where looking for something and taking note of the flowers under my bows and the bows of other trees.

“SO MY PLEA HAS BEEN HEARD” smiling the tree took bustling of the elves the same as one would take an increase in humidity as a portent of rain hoping that he would not be ignored by the elf once she arrived.

“I get to talk with an elf yes I hope she can teach me magic I hope she is beautiful” the tree was again bemused by how much his human perspective had internalized his need to find a mate instead of going out gathering the work of his hands and presenting it as a means of attracting those who are interested.

Than again when trying to find someone that is going to bond with you for the rest it helps to look at the soul. Looking at the soul seems to be one of the senses I had as a human and completely ignored which is a shame because if my human perspective could understand souls than I could use my conversations with my friends to entertain my human perspective…

thirty days after the dance of the spirits the tree felt them coming two fast ones that had souls that glowed like a burning fire the smaller was lick a camp fire in the dark wood wall the larger was like a tall building burning to the ground across the street. In a word there strength and purity stood as a source of inspiration. Before the two fast one got close enough that he could confirm that they where indeed coming to see him he recognized how the camp fire had a sense of how of completeness of self about it wall the burning build was trying to impress something.

Directing his attention to the camp fire the tree complained to himself that without the dance he could not see the shape the soul desired to project.

“Hello, and thank you for coming.” to his words the two female fast ones approached faster.

“I am sorry for the interruption to your time.” he felt that the campfire was surprised by his statement. He could not think why before he moved on.

“but I have a problem that is beyond my knowledge to resolve.” the burning building excepted that statement as completely natural having full confidence with the camp fire before her.

“I would tell you my name but for the longest time I have only considered myself a tree.” his human perspective had no love for the name he had been given and the tree found names one to be the hardest thing to pull out of that perspective almost like they had been blurred intentionally and he had never bothered to force the remembrance

“but for now I would like to here your names or should we dive directly into my problem.” the tree had finished his statement as the two elves arrive in front of him and simple waited for the reply.

“My name is Gnigit Summerstar” communicationed the campfire with a short pause that was indicative of some motion that the tree could not see.

“and this is Natalia Springbrook. And you are referenced in are ledgers as the Sunning Tree. Now that introductions are over what is your problem Sunning Tree.”

“My problem is that I have remembered my past life. In that life I had a shape similar to your own. I have also noted that the perspective of my old life is changing my perspective of this one. I need and desire a third perspective to tell me how to rectify both of my perspectives and figure out what I know form my past last and this life that is wrong before I make a deadly mistake.” with out a voice to speak. he was forced to send the message with his soul. this allowed any elves, with ears to hear, to sense a tree that did not know how to deal with a driving need to do and a curiosity to satisfy. And under that a human hue could not see, could not hear, could not taste, could not smell, could barley touch but was paralyzed. A human bombarded by sensations that he can not comprehend.

“I Gnigit Summerstar have heard your plea and will answer but first. Why me and why could this not have been settled during the dance.” the tree could feel how important this question was to her so he answered as truthfully as possible.

“I could not use that perspective during the dance. Without appearing to be a fool who only had fertilizing flowers on his mind. And without using that perspective there would be no point. I asked you because I could feel you as an individual despite how thick the spirits where. I’m sorry to say the I could have asked anybody I thought they could her me without the dance.” the tree was happy that she was happy with his answer. Especially since he believed she was vary important and her time was worth a lot.

Vary well thank you for your honesty. Natalia you will teach the Sunning Tree what it is interested in knowing and help it work out its existentialist crisis. After I have done some other business I will send Organt Springbrook to keep you both company. With her business her concluded Gnigit Summerstar walked away. And Natalia tried got to work teaching a tree how to think.

“I have been Silly.” Said Gnigit Summerstar to herself as she continued to grumble to herself as she walked threw meadows and over bridges. “for certainty there needs to be some one who can hear the trees to check on them. Gust to see if the odd ones are starting to awaken. I should have known there would be trees that would have there sapient nature stimulated by things we could have missed. I need to talk with Argnthait Winternest so that he can instruct the gardeners.” with her conviction affirmed and destination set Gnigit Summerstar quickened her steps.
