Day 97, the Great Spirit forest tribe marches to the main character led by Brian.
Day 100, Stanford proposes to Ally, a grand wedding ceremony is held. The golden flowers bloom on the vines of the main character. They are the flowers that give the selected person the ability to talk to the main character. The main character grants one of the 17 golden flowers to Stanford as a gift, uncertain about how he should talk to him, the main character accidentally talks like a sage-like person.
Day 118, the tribe of thousands arrives at the hill, without talking they sent projectiles flying towards the saplings. Blocking the projectiles with a barrier, the leader of the tribe, Riley, uses the spirits power and breaks the barrier causing the death of five people, one bird man, two cat men, one bunny girl, and an elf. Upon the rage of seeing this, the skies turned dark with gray clouds with lightning streaking through the skies. Barbra's voice is ignored and the main character pushed the wolfman Riley out the hill then strikes all of them with lightning. Desperate upon seeing the first bloody death, the main character attempts to revive them but fails.
Day 119, a funeral is held for the five people who had died, they are all buried next to the main character's body under his orders sent through Stanford. Once buried, a unique plant bloomed above their graves.
Day 121, after a lot of thinking, the main character realized he hadn't been able to block the attack of the since his magic power wasn't enough to defend them, the only attack. Accepting the death after hours of thought, he ordered Stanford and Barbra to plant seeds rapidly. He extends the domain by five miles in diameter halving his magic capacity. Unaware of his recklessness, the now smarter world stalk his worried but unable to say anything.
Day 136, rapid growth to 350 feet high, the magic storage increased by a tenfold and is still growing. Due to the sudden wave of magic, the spirit of the great spirit forest becomes aware of a consciousness on the nature spot her chess pieces fell. Wanting to destroy any interference from ruling the continent, the spirit borrows magic from a hollow minded world forest who was every plant and tree itself in the forest. She had found it when it had just been brought into existence, greedy for power so she could become a spirit queen, she brainwashed the world forest when it was young.
Day 161, with growth to 500 feet, the main character calms down reassured by his new height and magic. The village had returned to normal ever since the invasion, the village has also returned to normal after their period of grief. A hint of doubt is seeded within everyone except the elves about the main character's power. However, they had witnessed the main character easily defeat the invading tribe but had seen the deaths under his watch so they couldn't help but have a doubt.
Day 164, the world stalk made a contract with a spirit who was named Arthur. He was also a fairy who was dyed in green inspired by the image of Barbra. Arthur slowly gained the memories of the world stalk and uncovers the death of its predecessor was done by the main character. Keeping it to himself since he also witnessed what led to it right after, he was introduced to the saplings as the "World Guardian."
Day 169, the whole great spirit forest is united forcibly by the power of the spirit. She had spread the power of nature equally through the land so there was no such thing as separate nature spots, just one. It was not done so before since it had entertained her and consumed too much magic, but now she had a potential enemy to destroy, she did not realize how narrow-minded her thinking was. Her thoughts had been to gather all of the forest inhabitants to attack the main character.

Day 185, a large scale battle of almost 300,000 marched to the hill. Not wanting to be hesitant again, the main character attempts to strike them down with lightning... however, upon destroying 10 thousand of them in one moment, there was the look of fear in the eyes of the large group. Not just them, but also the inhabitants of the hill who were being kept safe on a raised barrier near the main character's body. There, the main character realizes he did not go the peace route that time, the last time he had struck them was because there was death on their side first, but this one had a chance to be worked out peacefully. Panicking, the main character hastily places 80 percent of his magic onto barriers around his domain. His height then was 630 feet which were around seven times larger than previously mentioned.
Day 186, for one day, the barrier was being hit over and over falling to 40 percent in durability, it was able to be maintained thanks to the recovery of the main characters magic and help from the world stalk. Barbra was sent to talk about peace but had failed many times due to it being a trick. Finally, after being urged by the Barbra and the faces filled with fear, the main character shrinks the barrier and lets the millions run onto his domain. Once they had reached his shortened barrier which only covered the hill, they all had surrounded his domain. Hesitating one last time, a crack appeared in his barrier forcing him to send flames into everyone who had been attacking. Behind them were walls made of a strong rock preventing them from running away. That day, all the inhabitants of the great spirit forest died.
Day 187, growing dull from the events that happened, the main character gave Barbra permission to use 90 percent of his magic to take care of the little things. Stanford attempted to communicate but was shut out. Slowly, the day grew darker even when the sun was still up, and the main character falls asleep.
Day 200, in the great spirit forest, there was silence, nothing but the sounds of beasts sleeping. The spirit of the world forest was anxious about the people she sent to get rid of her threat; the only thing she felt was that the people who she gave her spirit power had died. Last time, the wolfman leader had used the spirit power to break the main characters barrier, but it had not worked this time since the barrier was improved to be much more efficient and the massive increase in magic. Then, there was a reaction with the world forest's consciousness, memories of a human flowed into him. Slowly absorbing the knowledge, the true world forest awakens.
Day ???, the main character is in an empty space, that place felt just like nothing. Used to that feeling ever since he became a tree, he just accepts that everything was a dream. Now he finally gets to rest, no, he can escape from the terrors he's done. Hours, days, weeks, nothing mattered there since he could just stare into endless darkness and rest. It was strange why his mind was accepting this, why he his consciousness could stay sane there. Sometime in the darkness, there is a crystal of light that stirred in front of his vision. By now, he wasn't really curious about what it was, but it kept drawing closer into his vision. The light fills his entire vision, images of a man with side swept black hair, children, and woman... all of them resembled himself, his children, and his wife. "Can I go back?" is what he thought... as if the images were accepting him, he felt again, his thoughts started turning, but then more images flashed before him. A sapling, a young tree, tanned people with pointed ears, a fairy, an enormous stalk, men who could fly with wings, many other human hybrids... all of them bowing to a gigantic tree hanging vines that bloomed golden flowers, leaves that were large and clear green, bark that had a light brown color... "... This..." is what he thought, as if he had to make a choice between both lives, like he couldn't take back his choice. Tempted, his vision changed to... his wife, children, and himself, looking at their smiles, he slowly went forward, until there had been remembrance of his policy, "The past will not change my decisions...", "I've already died there..." The images before him switched back to a large tree, it was much harder going into these images, but that was himself holding him back, the deaths that occurred because of him there was haunting him still. Unable to go further and struggling, he suddenly went forward; behind him was his past life...

Day 332, a flash of purple light was emitted from a 1,100 feet tree standing on a green hill; it looked withered and only had a few leaves. A purple fairy figure looked at it; the four thousand living around it looked. In that moment, around 600 of them bowed down, tears flooded their eyes. A stalk hanging a golden leaf at the tip of its vine twitched. The rest of the thousand people who were living just stood up not understanding what was happening. The giant tree that was glowing purple had ripples of electricity spring out, however, those that were touched by it weren't hurt, only felt a warm heat. After the purple light faded away, what was revealed was a sturdy looking tree with healthy light brown bark, countless leaves which sprang to life, on the vines that hung were 39 beautiful golden flowers. On this day, the divine tree awoke from its slumber.
Day 333, a huge celebration was carried out for the main character waking from sleep. Having a reunion with Barbra and speaking to Stanford once more, the main character has found out he gained the ability to read the memory of the tree. Checking the memories of what happened, he learned of the immigrants that came pioneering from another continent. They held good intentions and requested to live here peacefully, of course, that was since they knew a magic tree was there and their sincere feelings of not wanting to fight. Right after he fell asleep, a small panic arose but was calmed by Barbra. The world stalk had grown to 310 feet, both it and Arthur helped Barbra during the time he was unconscious. He also learned the races of the five previous chief leaders including the new people which were, Hop men, Blood drinkers, Light elves, Slim people, horned men, and the scale people. The scale people had colorful scales on their skin almost like a fish’s one. It was located randomly on their body except for their lower half.
Day 340, getting used to life as a tree once again, the main character catches up with the people who never saw him for a long time. He granted the bird man leader whose race he renamed since calling them a winged man was annoying, and the other five leaders a golden flower. The flower had strengthening properties he was unaware of in the past which gave physical improvement, recovery speed, and intelligence. Testing his powers once again, it seems they were all the same, but when he made a magic crystal with his leaf this time around, there was a strange resonance with the elves. It slowly phased into one of the elves body, the elf had a strange face then a ball of wind appeared in front of him. Everyone around had been surprised by this, unable to use magic ever since they arrived, on suddenly used magic. Immediately understanding the situation, the main character made magic crystals for the rest of the elves having them all regain their magical powers.
Day 342, the world forest had awoken once more, upon it seeing the spirit it had contracted, the spirit was destroyed. During the hundreds of days since it had awoken, a few hundred people had settled into the land which was once ruled by thousands. The world forest was impatiently waiting it out. It had known there was only a little time until others had started coming here. It knew they were dangerous since it had been dormant in its memories which finally resurfaced.
Day 387, more people arrived to live on the main character's domain. They were brought by the scale people who had pioneered; they seemed to be of the same race and in a large group of a hundred thousand. All of them lived at the bottom of the hill moving the many plants that covered the land so they could set up home. Able to keep up with that amount, the main character did not need to increase his domain. Leaving it at that, days of peace continued and the community grew.
Day 418, on a great wasteland, three giant seeds struck the ground close to one another. The land around for some reason turned brown with dirt then green with grass. The three seeds had been covered with the soil of the now lush land and grew into a bush, sunflower, and rose. All were huge with the heights of over 140 feet. They were the lackeys of the world tree who had come to claim another planet...
Day 456, the main character spots a green land in the distance while checking to see how high he could go. He was pretty much above the clouds, but in a clearing, he was able to see three small dots on the green land. He looked down at the hill which was also a small dot, he thought it was suspicious but couldn't do anything about it since it was too far away and increasing the domain that far would consume too much magic.
Day 464, six large seeds land onto a large piece of green land that the bush, sunflower, and rose created. Planting itself into that land, they had grown into the same plant which was a palm tree. Naturally, they also had consciousness and asked the three a few questions about what they learned, they had suicide, and the three who were there before gave their magic power to the six palm trees. The green land increased to a size of around 50 miles in diameter. After waiting for a while, the six palm trees noticed something, where were the other two seeds?
Day 465, two large seeds were falling quickly towards the main character's domain, recognizing the large seed, he immediately pierced them with an earth spike after some difficulty since it kept dodging. The main character did not want to go through the same drama again, especially if the seed was bursting with flames and falling towards inhabited land. The two seeds split into many seeds after being pierced, seeing that happen, it was contained in a barrier, burned, and swept away with the wind. The world stalk had also seen it but it had understood why he would do that... after all, he did the same to the world stalk.
Day 509, spotted by the main character, there was a green land approaching his domain. It had been there for quite a few days but then had a large silver seed falling fast. Since it was not happening above his own domain, he shot a ton of fireballs, lightning that might hit it, and chunks of earth around its landing area to stop it. Unfortunately, it had been warned about this and increased the speed it fell ultimately being planted. Out sprouted a glorious silver tree decorated with white leaves and branches spread in a way that a ring of leaves was made. It introduced itself as the world tree... the six palm trees that were gathering magic felt their owner land here so they sent all their magic to it and withered away. Receiving all that magic, the world tree was able to instantly grow to 820 feet. The main character talked to him asking what it wanted, the world tree answered with a lie "Peace." However, to that lie, the main character was relieved and gave the world tree best regards.
Day 523, by its orders, the lackeys of the world tree sent themselves in mass to its domain; thousands of large seeds fell into the ground and grew into various large plants. Every day they would grow and send their magic power to the world tree giving it a rapid growth to around 1000 feet while the main character was now around 1900 feet. The main character who had not seen what was happening beyond the world tree's domain, was instead celebrating the birth of Stanford and Ally's son. Wanting to give something to Stanford that had been with him at the beginning of the world, he breaks off a small branch good enough to use for a cane off himself, the leaves on that branch wrapped itself around the branch making it green. Knowing how much he meant to Stanford, he gave a present that would be special for the occasion. In no case did the main character hurt himself, it was just one small branch of many.
Day 552, the world forest held a population of a hundred thousand now. Many humans knew of the great spirit forest, but they had been blocked off by the hybrids from gaining it. After a pair of treasure hunters made their way once more into the forest to find lost loot without being caught, they discovered it was empty except for a small settlement of humans. They headed back to the kingdom of Roth to inform their king. This country was a large one with a population of nine million, out of that; those two had held loyalty to the king strongly as taught in their system of education. Both knew their discovery would be a big influence for their country.
Day 557, the main character has been through quite a few weddings over the past year, he wasn't bothered by that at all and enjoyed them. There weren't many weddings with the scale people, some actually just said they were married and it was done. However those who socialized greatly with the original residents of this place had been friends with some of those who had a wedding, once they were exposed to it they had also wanted it done. At first, it started off small since they were not used to it, but it gradually grew larger where they asked to hold it in front of me, naturally, the peace was restored by now and it was agreed to. Everything here was free so why not.
Day 558, the two treasure hunters reached their kingdom after rushing using their precious magic crystals. The king was wise so he immediately prepared a force to occupy the forest before the other countries found out.
Day 593, the Roth kingdom had claimed the forest and kicked out the hundreds of residents who were there before. It didn't matter to the world forest though since this group had thousands of people in their group so it had better hopes of growing further. The growth of the world forest is not by height, but by area so it naturally increases its domain in a way so its amount of magic increases at the same time.
Day 619, slowly being brainwashed by the world forest through magic, the hundred thousands of people who were had been gathered were taking care of the forest. The way it grew was being taken care of and having plants grown on it. It would naturally grow, but it would be too late by then...
Day 631, a forest was seen in the distance by the main character, he had a feeling of being surrounded lately. The world tree who saw the world forest had shook with anger. Both had a conversation with each other which ended with them swearing to destroy each other completely this time. Looking at the main character, the world tree requested for some help to fight the world forest. Thinking about the time spent with the world tree and how the world forest had sent people to kill him, he agreed to stop it.
Day 636, in the world forest were millions of people now, the brainwashing magic would have people go back to the Roth kingdom and bring back more increasing the number of workers which made the world forest grow rapidly. Finally, it had grown far enough that it was touching the domains of the main character and world tree it couldn't spread to. Spreading barriers around what he wanted to protect, the main character covered his whole domain that held people with 60 percent of his magic. The world stalk was also asked to help with this matter. A ball of fire suddenly appeared from the world forest hitting the barrier. Unknown to the main character, that was the world tree's illusion. Ignoring the provocations the world tree was making for the main character to attack the world forest; he instead asked the world forest's business. He did not know before that he could contact them from afar since he always talked to them when they were close. Hearing the story from the world forest, there was an apology mixed in for letting its contracted spirit messing with him. Now the main character was really confused, who should he help? After thinking a bit, he decided he shouldn't help either one of them. Angered by this, the world tree who was taller than the main character at 3400 feet while he was 2600 feet tall attacked him. "Surely he will be destroyed" thought the world tree since it was just a magic tree that had grown high thanks to being in its presence. However, contrary to its expectations, the barrier easily blocked its attack, feeling betrayed the main character asked the world tree for peace but was answered with another attack. With no feelings within himself, the main character ruthlessly attacks the world tree raining lightning, balls of fire, blades of wind, and sharp leaves. On his side, the world stalk created a sphere of light charging it for a long time before firing it at the world tree. The world tree had a barrier up but it had been broken under the pressure from the three, even the world forest joined in on the attack recognizing the chance. After hours of flinging magic, the world tree died.
Day 637, taking over the domain of the world tree, the main character talks things out with the world forest. Luckily, he was able to make peace since he was unsure if he had enough magic left from the fight. The world forest was about to move its body away from the main character when it was stuck. Looking at the land connecting them, you could see the main characters green grass slowly spreading into the world forest's dark green grass. Noticing this, the main character attempted to stop it when the world forest was finally able to shift away... but there was a large bit of its body still connected to the main character's domain. Saying sorry about that, they actually just kept a good distance between themselves instead of completely moving away. After putting Barbra on watch duty, the main character went exploring through the new domain it gained, there he discovered various plants gathered around, all gigantic. Trying to contact them, they all seemed focused on just one thing; give their magic to the domain master.
Day 644, seeing that the gigantic plants weren't much a threat, the main character let them be. He was growing very quickly now since their magic was being given, unable to understand the concept of how that works, he gave up. Easily growing to 3600 feet, he decided to finally spread his domain once more. Only giving up 10 percent of his magic, he obtained 2000 miles in diameter, obviously not to have the same mistake with the world forest again; he spread it out backward reaching a beach shore. There, it had been an endless ocean out in front of him with nothing else.

Shadows in the Dawn Mist
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - Winner November 2020 When a young woman is lured back to her homeland for the opportunity of a life time, she must face old fears. But never would she think that facing up to her past would change everything. Is History written by the victors, or by someone or something else...? *** I started writing this a few years ago and eventually fell out of love with it. I never finished it and my newer books are being written in different writing style, and genre with a more planned process. I decided to revisit it for the writathon and found that it wasn't as hopeless as I'd come to think. Hopefully, I've improved as a writer since them so the consistency may vary. Its been good to revisit and analyse my writing which I feel used to have some clunky and obvious dialogue which I'm trying to fix. This will always be my first novel and I hope, with a little exposure, I may come to like it again. Thanks for reading!
