Invading the forest

The next day, at noon.

Since fighting the mage slayers, Treevor has spent all his time inside the cave trying to fix the amber gem enough that he can flee beyond the reach of humans. According to his calculations, he would need only a week to reduce the energy leak enough to escape this forest, but where he would go and be safe was a mystery to him.

As he thought about where he was going next, Treevor felt something strange approaching the edge of the forest. It was a repulsive feeling that made him want to throw up, but he'd gotten used to feeling it in the last few days.

"Did that filthy undead return to the forest? But why?" Treevor wondered. He was in his elven body, not wanting to burden the willow unnecessarily. He touched the roots to the ground with his right arm, making him connect with the roots as if they were merged and his amber eye glowed, shifting his awareness to the edge of the forest.
