The dryad considered Kiarra for a long, long moment before smiling sadly. "Unfortunately, I know that several of my sisters have been corrupted. How many is...unknown to me. I am called Ember. And while foolish, your purpose has merit. I will not stop you if you wish to continue onward...but to return through my barrier, you must possess some of the essence of my fire."<br/><br/>Reaching up to the tree, a fiery cherry slowly grew on a branch, glowing internally with light. Plucking it, she held it out to Kiarra solemnly. "If you wish to continue onward...all you have to do is eat this berry. Be warned, it is the essence of fire and passions. It will inflame your body and desires for a short while, but you will have greater vigor and strength for a time as well."
