Who knew the trees would be so disagreeable? Hadn't everyone else approved the idea? The trees would ruin everything. Couldn't they see that this was best for everyone concerned? It was rude. That's what it was...rude.

They were not easily swayed once they had arrived at their decision. Unfortunately, The decision came with a heavy responsibility as many of the wood folk, as well as many of their own number, would not survive this night.
