He should be where the Tree of Life is, in the forest.

[thotcrimes]

I'm terribly directionally challenged. Could I trouble you for a more detailed verbal map?

[bluerosestyle]

. . . You follow the paved road until it makes a turn to your right, then walk straight ahead instead of following the path.

Why do you want to go there? The celebration will begin shortly, and it's even colder outside the village.

[thotcrimes]

Is there a reason not to go?

[bluerosestyle]

A reason? Well, no. But no one does it. He's the only one who ever goes there.

[thotcrimes]

Why is that?

[bluerosestyle]

[she seems defensive...]

There's nothing there. It's just a tree. Besides, we all have our own Callings, no one has time to waste like that.

[thotcrimes]

Naturally. After all, I'm sure you're very busy. Who has time to go visit one silly old person? I'm sure the tree keeps him plenty of company. Well, I'll be going. Enjoy your party.

[Turning to leave!]

[bluerosestyle]

[She says nothing after that, and goes back inside the house. You made her uncomfortable, but at least THAT doesn't go against the Taboo Index!]

[thotcrimes]

[He does love making people uncomfortable. But away! To follow her directions to this tree thing.]

[bluerosestyle]

[He'll see more people headed towards the main square on his way, and when he leaves the village there won't be any guards posted at the gate. Maybe they're taking a late lunch break? Life sure is convenient in this lost, peaceful village in the middle of nowhere...

Either way, Eve follows the directions, gasp, and this leads him inside the forest! After walking for a while, he comes out to a clearing and finds himself facing...



...a very big, majestic tree. I should have added pictures to other locations, maybe I'll remedy that later, but ANYWAY... This picture is what he sees at first, but then the sight changes even as he looks at it; the trunk and its enormous roots take on a deep madder color, and the branches and leaves disappear.

The monstrous tree he first saw is now little more than a gigantic trunk, pruned to exaggeration. It has a couple of branches in moss green and cotton candy pink color, and more than a few in navy blue color. In fact, it looks like the navy blue color is starting to spread onto the trunk.]
