Merchent343's Short Stories

The vines could sense it, the particular style of magic visible at this distance. Even as their brothers corrupted the Tree of Harmony, they could sense the magic of the Hated One. The female who had defeated their master, and imprisoned him. So, they all agreed, why not imprison them?

It took only minutes for the vines to accomplish this, succeeding even as their master had failed. As so, they waited.

And waited.

The creatures spread across the landscape feared them, as they swarmed over their structures and disrupted their lives. But why should the vines have cared? Their master could be sensed nearby, and didn't even seem to be stopping them, so why should they stop?

They spread over the landscape like a wildfire, with only scattered creatures daring to attack them. Even as they were winning ground, however, some of their brothers fell silent. The vines worried as one of them grew ever closer, heading for their source.

They would stand their ground and make their master proud.

It was what he would have wanted.
