Re: Delith:To Save a World
In reply to Shorty (msg # 120):
Alannon regards Shorty. "If only one of us remains with one tree then we will have won. If we lose, all trees will be lost. It is what it is, one must be able to accept loss. Perhaps not like it; but accept it." Alannon looks around and up. "Once this was a green world, crystal clear streams and lakes. Small villages scattered throughout, plenty for all, no war, perhaps a small skirmish due to misunderstanding but relatively peaceful. A young world, full of life, perhaps a bit too naive as young ones can be. All that is needed is one tree to bring it all back." You see him glance at his hut, actually more like just past it. Then you notice it a tree in the background .. it actually is the background. It is perhaps 100' across, not much taller than any other tree; but with limbs of all shapes and sizes that it would look like several trees. Indeed even its leaves show many types of tree styles, maple, oak, hickory, pine, walnut, cherry, tulip, a conglomeration of types.
