The roots of the spire trees were 
all spread out and connected.
كانت جذور أشجار القمّة
منتشرةً ومُتّصلة
Die Bäume haben ein ausgedehntes Wurzelwerk
und sind dadurch verbunden.
Plein de racines s’étendent
et se rejoignent depuis les arbres.
Le radici si estendono per lunghe distanze
As raízes das árvores de pináculos orbitais
estavam todas espalhadas e conectadas.
