When they finally got to the tree, it was obvious why it was called the "Great Tree".  It was a simplistic name that did it no justice.  It stood in the middle of a large clearing decorated with beautiful flowers that seemed to shimmer and change color, the grass swayed even though there was no wind - it was truly a magical place.  The trunk was easily ten to fifteen meters in diameter, like a great column of bark reaching from the ground to the sky.  It was not the tallest of trees, but its broad branches and leaves provided shade for almost half of the clearing.  The only thing that seemed missing from the scene were rocks or stones or shrines or something that marked it more of some sort of special site.<br/><br/>Drael landed and walked to the tree's shade line, turning back to them and smiling, "We can rest here tonight.  Put the tent close to the tree and we should be find.  The Blighted hate this place - we'll just need to worry about the wildlife but they usually sense my kind and stay away," she rambled, obviously a bit tired from her prolonged trip.  Tommy did just that, dropping the backpack and leaning it against the tree, waiting a bit to put the tent up to instead investigate the tree.
