Ethan ignored the three and strolled over to the Fountain of Life, reaching in to fetch a vibrant green seed.
"You vile monster, remove your filthy hand from the Fountain of Life!"
Eluna's voice echoed in fury.
They were all born from the Fountain of Life, akin to their mother.
Ethan's action was a desecration.
"Really? As captives, I'd watch my words if I were you."
Ethan smirked at them, applying a gentle squeeze to the seed.
A lamentable shriek came from the seed...
"Stop!" Eluna watched Ethan with a pale face.
As an elder and priestess of the Treant village, nurturing these life seeds was her inherent mission.
"You, Dark Lord, what do you really want?"
"Loyalty."
"I want you and this Treant village to pledge eternal loyalty to me," Ethan nonchalantly spoke, tossing the seed back into the pool.
"Impossible!" The three female Treants rejected in unison.
