Desperate Struggle (Part 2)

Ra'ntar looked around with Soul Vision to make sure no one was following him while listening with the keen hearing typical of elves.

When he was certain that no one was close enough to be an immediate threat, he planted his Yggdrasill staff in the ground, activating Root Cause. Even without an active mind link with the World Tree, a Chronicler could activate the breathing technique and give the local flora temporary consciousness.

Every blade of grass, flower, and weed was now Ra'ntar eyes and ears.

No matter how good someone was at hiding or how perfect their cloaking devices were. No one could escape the magical and regular senses of the sea of green and killing the plants would reveal the position of an enemy anyway.

It was the reason Tezka struck the moment the wooden staff hit the soft ground. The index and medium fingers of his right hand pierced the elf's eyes while his right fist shattered Ra'ntar's ribcage.
