A Strange Druid
| Author: Unknown author | Published: July 7, 1999 |
This eve whilst on my way into the Yew woods I noticed a small gathering around a farm house. Being the curious person I am, I walked over to see what was going on. There with his back aginst a house wall was Grayson, an old looking ranger. He wore a green robe and green shoes.
The people around him tried to get Grayson to talk, but they couldst not. Soon they grew frustrated and left. I was not be tricked, I saw the twinkle in Grayson's eyes. I decided to think like a ranger and the word, woods, popped into my mind. So I asked Grayson about the Yew woods. Immediately he perked up and started talking about someone who couldst talk to the trees.
Finding this odd I contacted my friends Jakius and Fizban. Whilst on their ways there, I asked where this tree talker lived. The answer I got was most surprising.
Grayson said he was a druid who talked to the trees and that he lived in the woods near the crypts. Jakius, Fizban and I took off towards the crypts as Grayson fell into his mute state again.
When we arrived at the crypts t'was not much to see. After searching more we came apon a most peculiar tree. Fizban being the wise mage he is noted that the tree was an Elder Tree. We all thought this was odd, none of us had ever heard of an Elder Tree. After walking around the tree a bit, we found out that it t'was hollow. Jakius then thought we shouldst try and chopp the tree. Jakius readied his axe and swung. By some magical power, Jakius was prevented from chopping the tree.
We decided to venture into the crypts. Not finding the druid outside or near the Elder Tree left us confused. We found nothing of note worthy in crypts except a table with some bottles on it. Our small party had to leave soon after when I was overcome with claustrophobia. We gated back to the Abby. Our trip had left us with more questions than answers. Perhaps they will be answered soon.
