The Druid that became a Tree

_244e126b-72b2-4746-88d6-e6fada56121a.jpg

Once upon a time, there was a druid named Elora. She was a young and beautiful woman, who loved nature and magic. She lived in a forest, where she tended to the plants and animals, and learned from the spirits.

She was happy, and wanted to protect the forest.

But she did not know that someone was watching her, and wanted to destroy the forest.

He was a lord named Varian. He was a greedy and cruel man, who hated nature and magic. He lived in a castle, where he hoarded gold and power, and oppressed the people.

He was unhappy, and wanted to conquer the forest.

He had a plan, and a weapon. He had hired a group of mercenaries, and given them a device. It was a metal box, with wires and buttons. It was a bomb, that could explode and burn.

He had ordered them to plant the bomb in the heart of the forest, and detonate it.

They had followed his orders, and sneaked into the forest. They had found a clearing, where a large and old tree stood. It was the oldest and wisest tree in the forest, and the source of its magic.

They had placed the bomb at the base of the tree, and set the timer.

They had left the forest, and waited for the explosion.

But they did not notice that someone had seen them, and followed them.

They did not notice that it was Elora.

Elora had seen the mercenaries entering the forest, and was suspicious of them. She had followed them, and saw what they had done.

She was shocked, and angry. She knew that the bomb would destroy the forest, and kill everything in it.

She wanted to stop them, and save the forest.

She ran towards the bomb, and tried to disarm it. She used her magic, and her skills.

But she was too late.

The bomb exploded, and released a blast of fire.

Elora was caught in the blast, and felt a pain.

She fell to the ground, and closed her eyes.

She thought that she was going to die.

But she did not die.

She changed.

She felt a warmth, and a light. She felt a connection, and a transformation.

She opened her eyes, and saw that she was not on the ground anymore.

She was in the air, and on the tree.

She had become a part of the tree, and the tree had become a part of her.

She had become a tree.

She looked around, and saw that the forest was still alive. The fire had not spread, and the magic had not faded.

She had saved the forest, and the forest had saved her.

She was happy, and wanted to stay.

She smiled, and thanked the tree.

The tree smiled, and welcomed her.

They became one.
